Rookie of the Year = Karmichael Hunt

[Simplycheeky]

George Carmont! will challenge Hunt and Williams as well as Marshall if he is eligible(Marshall that is)

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

If Benji isn't eligible, Carmont gets my dollar for the rookie of the year.

If Hunt wasn't so young they'd have put him in the QLD team on the bench.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

He's two days older then me - that bastard! he gets to buy booze before i do!

 

[Razor]

so because Benji only played a few games last season, I am certain that he is eligible for rookie of the year this year

He isn't.

If you start a game before the current year, you aren't eligible. Starting from the bench doesn't count.

1 first grade game and that was starting - not eligible
200 first grade games all from the bench - eligible

That's a bit of a stupid rule - would they ever pick you after one game, no matter how brilliant? I think not. How about 15 games off the bench? Yes.

How long has this rule been in place, because Hopoate played 1 game in the starting line up for Manly in one of the seasons prior to him winning the rookie award.
