Rookie of the Year

[Harold Bishop]

Burns a game last year.

 

[Raider_69]

Thurling would be the pick from canberra so far, to be honest i cant think of a rookie who has really stepped up and shone as yet... still plenty of time left but Boyd, Thurling and Scott from the cowboys if he is eligable

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Burns only played one game last year, so hes still eligible for this year, Hes done well for Manly.

Poor wittyfan

Burns is 22. Hardly a "rookie" when you compare it to the ages of previous winners.

 

[Billybob]

Matty Scott - Cowboys

waaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Garts]

by rookie they mean when you play 1st grade for the first time. so he is a rookie!!!! nothing to do with age.

 

[wittyfan]

Well, how many over the age of 21 have been named Rookie of the Year???

 

[freeridermx]

burns and douglas are way in front of the rest of the pack atm.
matt scott made his debut in 2004 played 1 game then 3 or 4 last year so dont think he`ll be able to win not to sure on the rule.

 

[Garts]

Well, how many over the age of 21 have been named Rookie of the Year???

farked if I know and I dont care. Does not change the fact that he is eligible and at the moment he is a chance of winning it.

You do realise that the average age of a person that makes their first grade debut is 21/22?

Matthew Scott. I think the rule is you can play 5 FG games before the start of the current season to be considered a rookie. I'm not 100% sure tho. But if Scott qualifies, surely he's a shoo-in.

 

[Billybob]

actually made his debut off the bench and then did his knee and never played again until this year

and i thought the guideline for rookie of the year is that you have to of started (not from the bench) a game and at least had more then one game

He won't win it so there's no point in further argument!

 

[Garts]

on the balance of probability he probably wont. but he is going ok at the moment!!!

Surely you jest wittyfan, don't tell me you forgot how old the sharks rookie of the year last year was did you?

Douglas for sure.

An outstanding prop, plays well above his age and is only 19.

the most important fact is we've got him for at least 2 more years

 

[Mal Meninga]

I think Purtell is playing well

Purtell should be put back to jersey flegg to learn how to catch a bomb.

I'll say the front runners are Scott, Douglas, and Burns, with Thurling not far behind.

 

[Jono078]

How about Kevin Kingston? I've been pretty impressed by him..

 

[AsPiRiNg YoUtH]

Darius Boyd has really impressed me.

Is Alan Tongue a rookie? If so he is also amazing. And the Fullback from the Tigers that filled Hodgsons place was great as well.

Still a relative newcomer, but he made his debut in the last 5 or 6 games last year.
