The 3rd Annual Ben Jacobs Medal Awards Night

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the moment we have all been waiting for. It's time to find out who will take out this season's major award, the Ben Jacobs Medal for player of the season! We start after the voting was closed to the public after round 5.

Here is the leader board:

9 - Ryan Gayler
6 - Ben Parker
5 - Haydos Bots
4 - James Robertson
4 - Ged King
3 - Dave Armstrong
3 - Ben Taylor
3 - Ed Ames
3 - Theo Miokovic
2 - Thomas Delonge
2 - Travis Webber
2 - Dirk Erschoff
2 - Scott Wilson
2 - Callum Laing
2 - Robert Cribb
2 - Gareth Weaver
2 - Ben Manera
1 - Luka Popovic
1 - Brett Gemmell
1 - Luke Tyson
1 - Damien Taylor
1 - Sam Green
1 - Adam Vago

 

Either Bots or Gayler will win it. With Parker an outside chance IMO.

 

Without wanting to follow your lead and talk myself up, I'd put myself above you and King for this season in the second row, tbh. I made more tackles and metres than you, and missed alot less.

Parker and Green are the standouts for the second row, though.

 

I'm sorry if this is just me missing the joke, but was it deliberate to leave Gemmell out?

Vago played in the second row all season.

 

We didn't really have the depth in the second row/front row to do that this season, unfortunately. You obviously weren't horrible there, anyway.

 

Tipping Miokovic to finish quite highly.

 

In round 6 we saw the Cyclones beat the Rainbow Donkehs away from home 22-18.

Makes sense. Hawks aren't a team of champions, they only have a few dominant players, and therefore an easier shot at the award.
