ABSA SA RUGBY PLAYER OF THE YEAR 2009
My nominations at this stage will be-
Fourie du Preez
John Smit
Morne Steyn
Victor Matfield
Heinrich Brussow
Bismark du Plessis
First 3 made significant contributions to swing a game with one act plus constant high performances.
Second group made constant high performances.
The hard part is leaving out great players like Beast, Bakkies, in fact the rest of the Boks. But a team can not win this award, so we must chose a player.
Go The Great White Sharks of Kings Park!!! :beer:
i think they should award all the prizes to wp 😀
Player of the Year has to be. Fouie du Preez.
Promising player of the year. H. Brussow. Best 6 in the country by a long shot. Maybe world rugby too. Great find this year.
Super 14 player of the year. Bakkies, F. du Preez, M. Steyn. Has to come from the Bulls this award. Also best team in the S14. (Sorry my Sharkies, Bulls were just too good this year)
CC player of the year. Not to sure here there are a few.
Try of the year. Agree with Piet. Has to be F. Juries. Brilliant try that.
Captain of the year. If there was such a thing. John Smit for the Boks.
The Poll is up !
Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@grootblousmile – 11
Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo GBS..hehe.
het vir brussie gestem omdat hy n cheetah is .maar ek dink dit gaan barney of fdp wees
12@Puma – Hehe
13@smallies72 – Vir my was die keuse naby tussen Fourie du Preez, Brussouw en Morne Steyn…. ek het gevoel Fourie du Preez se waarde as Generaal tussen die voor- en agterspelers by beide die Bokke en die Super 14 wenner-Bulle was kardinaal.
Maar beide Morne Steyn en Brussouw het gewys hulle het BALLE VAN STAAL !
