Sandow has it so far, but if the raiders can win all their remaining games you'd think Marc Herbert might be in with some chance.

wouldnt complain if Sonny Fai got it either
Uate's an outstanding prospect but all he's done so far is catch and dive... even Atkins, Careny and Rapana have all done substancially more then him so far, Jamie Simpson, Coote and Luke Capwell aswell for that matter

Daine Laurie might be in for a show so to Wade Graham. For mine its Sandow at the moment with Fai and Graham not far off

Uate catch and dive? You didnt watch our last game very much?

Chases a kick hard and tackled Talanoa into touch and got us a scrum.

Couple try saving tackles where he rushed in and stopped the opposition center.

Really nice kick return stepping in and out of players..

Bit more than catch and dive.

But as I said he'd have to show a fair bit in the next month to be a real chance.

This year there hasn't been a huge standout... but, does it really matter? It's only a niff-nuff award.

David Williams. What is it? 10 try's or something in 12 games for a rookie?
I remember Falou getting massive accolades when he achieved that, yet Williams gets very minor attention (probably a good thing though). Too much notoriety, and Mundine will come knocking. Williams already has the beard, Mundine would only have to supply the turbin.

Folau did a fair bit more than score 10 times in 12 games... He was the top try scorer in his debut season and played every game (i think).

Sam Westbrook, a 17 year old prop has signed with the broncos for next season. I assure you he will be rookie of the year for 2009.
