Manu Ma'u Wins 2016 Ken Thornett Medal

[Gronk]

It must be like the encouragement award they used to give out in the U11's for the worst player who always tried hard.

You must be going through so may emotions right now Hiney. You need a hug ?

Best advice is to admit you're wrong and move on.

 

[Gronk]

But well done to all the winners, I'm no fan of IDG but I can't fault his effort of his ticker. He's a tough little merkin, if he has the skill and size of Tony Williams he'd be the best player in the comp.

That's it mate. Well done.

Wrong about what??? That IDG will be worst starting dummy half in the comp next season??

I've never knocked his effort, but because he wins a coaches award he now all of a sudden played much better this season and at 32 will somehow improve????

M Keating copped it deluxe on here didn't he also win some sort of coaches award??? I know he was constantly praised by Big Face. Didn't make him an any better player either. But you go along with whatever happens at the club no matter what must be right because they know so much more then us I mean that has worked out so well of late.....

I'm not really a hugger Gronk, I know that's how they roll out in the Eastern Suburb's but that's not my thing. I'll give you a high five if you like.

 

[Dibs]

no? but I hear u won the YAFD medal bahahahahahaha

Don't be so modest fanbase. I hear you cleaned up at the awards. Sure it was after everyone had gone home and for minimum wage but still you cleaned up

Geez, don't be so hard on us I the Eastern Suburbs! Nothing wrong with a man hug!

BA cited his huge effort at both training and in games. Spoke to how driven he is, his nature as a winner and how he lifts the squad to be better week in and out. As fans we might get frustrated with his service from dummy half but he is pretty clearly doing something right on and off the field for us, hence why BA singled him out for the award he solely selects.

Yeah - it surprises me that the club put greater weight on BA's opinion than those of us on an internet forum. Everyone on here knows heaps more about what it takes to build a team or what makes a player than BA.

 

[parra-matters]

I heard Manu's speech was pretty good.
"Ah F#$% Did i win?"

well yeah of course, I bet BA hasn't even read half of the RLW issues that are out there...

It was pretty legendary. Manu muttered 'f**k' three times under his breath (but quite audibly seeing as it was picked up by the mic) as he tried to compose his impromptu speech and closed it all out by stating that he loved Brad Arthur so much that he would kill or be killed for him.

Are you saying people aren't allowed to reasonably discuss some of BA's decisions?

And by "reasonably discuss", I mean constantly whinge ad-f**king-nauseum until moment where they're "happy to be proven wrong but" until team list Tuesday where they ramp back up again with the whingefest?

Na you heard wrong, he said has not would

I am willing to give Manu the benefit of the doubt on this one, Beau Scott on the other hand...

Wendell Sailor always talks about Wayne Bennett and how his players would walk over hot coals for him. Sounds like BA is revered in the same way.

They should have got Hineyrulz to give the coaches award not f**king Brad Arthur.

S i suppose we can take from that that Manu will be signing an extension soon, signing an extension for BA is nowhere near having to kill or die for him id think.

Let's hope he has the opinion come contract negotiation time ...

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Maybe next time Todd has some bad news for us we can let him deliver it personally, as he likes.

[strider]

Manu can kill hismanager to get his extension done
