The footy show awards have turned out to be exactly what i susopected they would.... a f**king farce just like the show. Let me start off

1. Fullback of the year
Anthony Minichiello (Roosters)
Billy Slater (Storm)
Karmichael Hunt (Broncos)
Where is Brett Hodgson? If Slater doesnt win your joking. Matt Bowen?

2. Winger of the year
Amos Roberts (Panthers)
Luke Rooney (Panthers)
Timana Tahu (Knights)
Hazem El Masri (Bulldogs)
LOL Tahu! I am splitting my side laughing! You can tell that there are 2 ex Knights starts on the panel cant you!

3. Centre of the year
Willie Tonga (Bulldogs)
Matt Cooper (Dragons)
Brent Tate (Broncos)
Ryan Cross (Roosters)
What about Gidley, Lewis and Hannay?

4. Five-eighth of the year
Darren Lockyer (Broncos)
Brad Fittler (Roosters)
Trent Barrett (Dragons)
They have atleast got this right! Scott Hill might not think so.

5. Halfback of the year
Matt Orford (Storm)
Craig Gower (Panthers)
Brett Finch (Roosters)
Craig Gower ??????? this is bullshit. Joe Williams, Scott Prince and Michael Moghan, although playing in lesser teams have had better seasons than him.

6. Prop of the year
Shane Webcke (Broncos)
Mark O'Meley (Bulldogs)
Steve Price (Bulldogs)
Paul Rauhihi (Cowboys)
Webcke? C'mon boys, stop playing favourites. If Rauhihi misses out it will be a disgrace.

7. Lock of the year
Tonie Carroll (Broncos)
Shaun Timmins (Dragons)
Luke Ricketson (Roosters)
Where the f**k is Waterhouse? Tonie Carroll deserves this.

8. Second rower of the year
Craig Fitzgibbon (Roosters)
Nathan Hindmarsh (Eels)
Willie Mason (Bulldogs)
Andrew Ryan (Bulldogs)
Look like of you play for either the Bulldogs or the Roosters you are assured a nomination in your respective position. Ryan and Hindmarsh have been standouts but Fitzgibbon?

9. Hooker of the year
Danny Buderus (Knights)
Cameron Smith (Storm)
Craig Wing (Roosters)
Buderus first daylight second.

10. Utility player of the year
Chris Flannery (Roosters)
Casey McGuire (Broncos)
Matt Bowen (Cowboys)
If you play for the roosters you seem to win, but i think McGuire is as much a utility as i am a first grade footballer and Bowen? Maybe a token gesture there me thinks!

11. Young gun of the year
Karmichael Hunt (Broncos)
Sonny Bill Williams (Bulldogs)
Anthony Tupou (Roosters)
Who cares?

I will be buying a dvd the night that these crap awards are on. What a bunch of tossers.

Those nominations are a joke.

I tried to vote, but as soon as I got to "centre of the year", I said f*ck it and closed the window.

While I'm extremely biased, it's farcical that Michael Sullivan didn't get nominated in that category. Casey McGuire? Please. In fact, hardly any players got nominated outside of the Top 6 teams. Poor form, Footy Show. :(

You have to remember they only show games including the Panthers, Roosters, Dogs and Knights. So hopes of having Tigers, Cowboys and Sharks amongst the nominations would only fall on deaf ears as they never watch them play!. When they do show the occaisional game invovling a team outside their favourite 4, they just talk about video ref's etc..,

In summary i can hear you asking the footy show goofs "What about Ashley Harrison?" Their reply in chorus would be "Ashley Who???"

Could someone please tell me what Casey McGuire has done wrong? He is the Broncos utility player, and has had a great year, he has won us a fair few games.

If anyone should be dropped from the fullback nominations for hodgson it's minicheillo, and WTF has Barrett and Gower done this year? Their biggest contributions to their teams so far this year has been as spectators.

Yup, these nominations are pretty dumb...

but my choices....
F/B Slater (footy show favourite), but Hodgson should have won this.
W Ronney for mine - just a very good footballer - where's King?
C Cooper - but why no Gidley??
5/8 Lockyer - but where the hell is Scott Hill
1/2 Orford
Prop - Price - but this one is even
Hooker - Buderus - no question
2nd Row - Hindmarsh, just shading Ryan
Lock - Carroll easily from that lot - but like everyone else here - ASHLEY HARRISON

Utility - given Flannery's the only utility there, I'd say him - Bowen should be nimiated at f/b

Young player - Karmicheal Hunt has been the best, Williams might well eventually be the best

i was going to vote but when i saw who was nominated threw my hands up in the air and gave up, pretty much stopped at fullback, i mean no hodgson or hornby?
little bit of bias with me re hodgson but hornby not nominated is an absolute joke! almost as big a joke as him getting dropped for origin 2!

With those nominations you just have to laugh. Think they must be the nominations from another season but it can't be 2004. That ashley harrison wasn't nominated for lock just proves they don't watch the games and well I might be biased but Brett Hodgson has been in awesome form this year better than all 3 nominated at least. Ahh well let the jokers have their joke awards. Lets hope we don't have to put up with this channel 9 crap for too much longer.

Even if the show is an excuse for grown men to dress up.

I would pick the following.

Fullback - Mini
Wing - Roberts
Centre - Tate
5/8 - Fittler (he is just expected to be good so no one notices when he is)
1/2 - Orford
Prop - O'Meley
Lock - Ricketson (still makes 40+ tackles a game)
Second Row - Hindmarsh, close second Fitz
Hooker - Buderus (unfortunately he thinks he is the best as well)
Utility - Flannery
Young Gun - Hunt
