Best quote of the page...

THE IN-YOUR-FACE AWARD
(Having the Last Laugh)
Winner: St George Illawarra - They were labelled too boring, took the penalty goal too often, had no punch, but then they knocked out the Roosters. Credit where credit's due; the Dragons are deserved 2010 premiers.

Thnx mate... the whole thing is quite good I love the names of the awards lol

Fox Sports Awards: the real winners of the 2010 NRL premiership season




St George Illawarra won the NRL premiership and comeback kid Todd Carney secured the Dally M Medal. But who were the real winners of the 2010 NRL season?

THE KINDER SURPRISE AWARD
(Exceeding Expectations)

Winner: The Warriors - Ivan Cleary's Warriors were tipped by many experts, including Greg Alexander and Phil Gould, to finish last this season. But the Auckland club finished fifth and were unlucky to be eliminated in week one of the finals.
Honourable mention: Panthers
THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD
(Who You Cheered For When Your Team Weren't Playing)

Winner: Canberra - The capital boys replaced Wests Tigers as the team every non-Raiders fan wanted to watch in 2010. Whether it was the revival of Terry Campese or the brilliance of young stars like Josh Dugan and Daniel Vidot, the Raiders made great viewing. They also beat the premiers, twice.
Honourable mention: Wests Tigers, Sydney Roosters
THE HOME HANDYMAN AWARD
(Excellence in Renovations)
Winner: Des Hasler - For his door-ripping antics, the Manly coach takes it out for creating an open-air environment in the Parramatta changing rooms back in round two. Nice to know there's a trade for him after rugby league.


THE SOUTH SYDNEY AWARD
(Underperforming Team)
Winner: South Sydney - With the hype that surrounded their monster forward pack, it's only fitting that South Sydney take out their own award. After smashing Wests Tigers 50-10 in round 10, the Bunnies promised so much but couldn't even make the eight.
Honourable mention: Bulldogs, Cowboys
BEST RETURNING WALLABY
(This May Become An Annual Award)
Winner: Lote Tuqiri - The dual international was sensational on his rugby league return at Wests Tigers, pushing Taniela Tuiaki deep into the archives of our memory. It must be said, however, that his rival for the gong - Timana Tahu - didn't put up much of a fight.
THE RICHARD SWAIN AWARD
(Tackler of the Season)
Winner: Nathan Friend - Gold Coast Titans terrier Nathan Friend made more tackles than anyone this season, notching 1084 at an average of 41.7. Though he's still not quite up to the 50-plus standard set by former Storm great (tackler), Richard Swain.
Honourable mention: Nathan Hindmarsh, David Stagg
BIGGEST COMEDIAN AWARD
(For Deliberate and Non-Deliberate Humour)
Winner: Beau Ryan - The talented Wests Tigers funnyman conjured up some of the best bombed tries we've ever seen.
Honourable mention: Wayne Bennett
THE PARIS HILTON AWARD
(Back in Fashion)
Winner: The field goal - This season produced the best highlights reel of one-pointers we can remember. Braith Anasta and Jamie Soward delivered clinical 35-metre efforts in the NRL finals. But the best of them was Benji Marshall's 50-metre thunderbolt against the Titans, on the stroke of half-time, in round 18. The Tigers won by a point.
Honourable mention: Brian Smith
THE TRENT BARRETT AWARD
(For Being Slapped in the Face)
Winner: Kurt Gidley - We've never seen a New South Wales captain start from the bench, and it's hard to see it happening ever again.
Honourable mention: Daniel Anderson
THE JOHN HOPOATE HEADLINE
(Controversy of the Year)
Winner: Melbourne Storm - The salary cap scandal provided headlines rugby league didn't need, but we're sure non-Storm fans enjoyed seeing the Melbourne side have a year off from the NRL grand final.
Honourable mentions: Ryan Tandy (allegedly)
THE MEAT PIE AWARD
(Try of the Year)
Winner: Nathan Gardener - The Cronulla rookie made Sydney Roosters defenders look like ornaments in the round 13 match at Sydney Football Stadium. The Sharks fullback defused a bomb and set off on a swerving 90-metre run in which he ventured to both sidelines before touching down in the corner. The boy can run.
Honourable mention: Sam Perrett (round 25), Timana Tahu (round two)
THE E-BAY AWARD
(Buy of the Year)
Winner: Todd Carney - Swapped the Atherton Roosters playing strip for a suit on Dally M Night. Enough said.
Honourable mention: Kevin Kingston, James Maloney
THE CRAIG DAVID AWARD
(For Walking Away)
Winner: Israel Folau - Decided to follow his old mate Karmichael Hunt to the AFL, then spent the rest of the season showing league fans why he will be sorely missed. Take Folau in a future bet for the 'BEST RETURNING WALLABY' award.

Honourable mention: Ricky Stuart
THE STACEY JONES AWARD
(Returning to the NRL After Your Prime)
Winner: Adam Mogg - Always a hotly contested category, we couldn't go past the Canberra utility back. He can play anywhere on the field, just not quite as well as he used to.
Honourable mention: John Skandalis
THE TIM SMITH AWARD
(For Second-Year Syndrome)
Winner: Daniel Mortimer - After re-signing, the Parramatta half played his second season in the NRL like he should have played his first - inconsistently.
Honourable mention: Kevin Moore
THE BIG W AWARD
(For Cheap Shots)
Winner: Steve Matai - A few contenders from the Manly team, but we couldn't go past the Sea Eagles centre for his aggressive delayed reactions. Matai was finally rewarded for his consistency with a seven-week ban after nailing Michael Ennis in round 26.
Honourable mention: Anthony Watmough, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
THE MICHELANGELO AWARD
(Great Fan Art)
Winner: WHO NEEDS A BIG WILLIE WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT TONGUE? - They're not wrong, those Raiders fans.
Honourable mention: "Everybody loves Weyman"
THE KODAK AWARD
(The Golden Moment of 2010)
Winner: Braith Anasta - The Roosters' fairytale grand final appearance would not have eventuated if not for their captain's field goal against Wests Tigers in week one of the finals. With seconds remaining, Anasta calmly backed out of the attacking line, then landed the one-pointer to send the game into golden-point.
Honourable mention: Slater v Hayne, round 13
THE HAZEM-HALLIGAN AWARD
(Best Goal Kicker)
Winner: Michael Gordon - The Penrith sharpshooter topped the accuracy list at 82.4 per cent in being the season's leading points scorer.
Honourable mention: Todd Carney
THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD:
(Most Improved Player)

Winner: Shaun Kenny-Dowall - He's never far away from a brain explosion, but a season in which SKD was equal first in tries scored and second in line breaks must be applauded.
Honourable mention: Luke Walsh
THE STEVE BRADBURY AWARD
(Miracle of the Year)
Winner: North Queensland Cowboys - We'll never know how they convinced Johnathan Thurston to re-sign.
Honourable mention: South Sydney's 34-30 comeback win against the Tigers in round 22.
THE IN-YOUR-FACE AWARD
(Having the Last Laugh)
Winner: St George Illawarra - They were labelled too boring, took the penalty goal too often, had no punch, but then they knocked out the Roosters. Credit where credit's due; the Dragons are deserved 2010 premiers.

Most dragons fans couldn't care less how it's recorded, or what other fans think about it.

There wasn't a 125 page thread back then because the Tigers winning a premiership doesn't hurt as much as a Dragons premiership. People like Baron have nothing now, and they know it, no longer can they use the choke tag so they resort to saying it was a premiership where we weren't the best side (storm gone) or that it's our 1st premiership.

It's given me a good laugh that it's managed to go on for nearly 3 months now with no sign of slowing down.

what, only burp now? shouldn't you be giving me a belting?

it's not just my sensibilities you are rilling baron... i'm assuming that you have never had to deal with family violence or know someone affected by it..

maybe you can mix things up a bit and pick on cancer victims now?

Nah owning Dragons fans is more then enough for me.

Violence against children is funny?

You must be a real hit around the weekend bbq.

Careful baroness, there's someone who is PMing me. He/she is getting upset about the direction this thread is heading in. And they're serious. The complainant has a list of words and comments that should be forbidden in these forums - although they are being somewhat selective as to who should be subject to the censorship.

Strangely, misrepresenting players' statements and belting children seemed to slip under its radar.

I know Ulyssus had his melt down.

But in all seriousness cant people see that aside from the debate we are having most of us are just out having a good laugh? On both sides of the fence.

Feel free to edit any posts of mine that need to be edited as I'd hate for the site to get into crap over some light hearted banter.

I see the Dragons with 16 premierships.

Do you often use Wikipedia as your source d[o]gsfan? I don't, but you clearly do. Do you consider it a valid source?

P.S. you left the 'o' out of your username.

The Dragons (plural) have 16 premierships. That's not in dispute. However there are 2 seperate dragons... one represented the St George team, the other represents the St George Illawarra team..... for example:

You'll notice that it hasn't been updated yet, but this is the official mascot of the StGI Dragons..... official... born 1999.. did not exist before 1999... premierships 0 until updated.... add this years and it becomes 1..... this dragon has 1 premiership... the other one who is no longer a mascot for a team in the 1st grade competition has 15 to his name and forever will.... but they're different dragons......

:lol:

I think you guys are letting yourselves get trolled on this.

Just agree that it is your first premiership and everyone shuts up and moves on

You do realise what you're asking here don't you?
Firstly, dragons fans are like those little puffer fish that hang around the jetty, they'd latch on to a rusted hook tied to a seat belt if it was tossed in front of them.
Secondly, you're asking them to think clearly and logically and accept that regardless of what they think or feel, the official records are the only true records. No logical thinking person could ever attribute a premiership to a team that ceased to compete as it's previous entity in the 100+ years of competition.... and then there's dragons fans...

 

[Willow]

Sounds very serious LOLOLOL your a champ Willow

Yes, when it PMd me, it was very upset and begged me to stop being so mean. It also used a few LOLOLOLs to cover up the hurt.

Now get back to your chores.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Poor widdle wallow, still claiming that 3 clubs won the 2010 premiership?

 

[Willow]

lol.

Followed by the irony that went over 20Knights10's head.

You hooked the wrong fish.

 

[GB!]

lol, judging by the poll results there are at least 80 odd saints supporters on this site!

clueless.....
the NRL have steve menzies down as representing two NRL teams in his career - manly & northern eagles.

but saints fans think the rules don't apply to them...lololololol!

i feel for the illawarra fans who seem to be forgotten

 

[20knights10]

:lol: You need to get out more wallow.....

It all began with an iPhone...​

March was when my son celebrated his 15th birthday, and I got him an​

iPhone.​

He just loved it. Who wouldn't?​

I celebrated my birthday in July, and my wife made me very happy when​

she bought me an iPad.​

My daughter's birthday was in August so I got her an iPod Touch.​

September came by so for her birthday i got my wife an iRonandan iRonning board.​

It was around then that the fight started......​

What the wife failed to recognise is that the iRon can be integrated​

into the home network with the iWash, iCook and iClean. Although this​

inevitably activates the iNag reminder service.​

Note - it has completely destroyed the iRoot functionality.​

It's great that you brought this up.

Have you checked with the average Manly supporter if they consider Menzies to be a one club player?

If you're wondering, that strange feeling you're having right now is called 'foot-in-mouth'.

Well there is one pretending to be a steeler

You think Muzby is pretending to be an Illawarraite?

And yet you believe everything that comes out of the baroness's keyboard.

Softy, bedtime soon. You don't want to get over tired again.
