Marathon Stadium Knight of the Year Awards 2012

[Jekk]

Hey this is embarrassing but did we forget to invite the players?

- - - Updated - - -

GMK and Shamz havent been on much either!

Damn those pretty little things

GMK and Shamz havent been on much either!

Shamz has been shocking. :@

 

[Jekk]

Have we seen Frizzed and ummm what was the Central Coast soccer fans name this year?

 

[jamesgould]

Ok, replies, I feel more comfortable now.

Round 19 and it all clicks against Manly ... we thump that bunch of muppets 32-6 - shame! Points are:
3. Tyrone Roberts
2. Akuila Uate
1. Jarrod Mullen

No surprises there - Roberts was on fire that day. The 2010 winner and last year's second place Uate doubles his points to four.

Novoscouse! He's Jase's mate, we'll have to ask him how he's going ... but Novoscose did actually make like two posts here at one stage, I think! I remember replying to him.

Seabass made a brief comeback at the start of the year ... and so did Alicia's all-time greatest enemy Knightschick.

For the old-timers, another year, another NRL Diva no-show. (Amanda Gower's all-time greatest fan).

Go for another award, Jekk.

 

[manager]

I think Boyd will come close to winning it but Buderus's going to hold on.

Hit of the Year

You were all divided on the Biggest Hit of this year, Cuthbertson, Mason and even Daniel Abraham rated a mention but sneaking in with 33% of the votes was Timana Tahu on Shaun Fensom Round 14.

Round 20, and we beat the Warriors in NZ for the first time since 2005! It was also our equal biggest ever comeback.
3. Adam Cuthbertson
2. Darius Boyd
1. Jarrod Mullen

For the second week in a row, the three points goes to someone getting their first points of the year! Jarrod Mullen's one point slots him into equal first with Buderus.

Signing of the Year

With a lot of new faces this year and next we had no trouble picking our signing of the year for 2012. With 75% of the votes Willie Mason.

Willie was able to give us a quick interview earlier but with no audio available I'll give you a transcript.



MS: Congratulations on your award tonight Willie.
Willie: Thanks very much guys.
MS: Is there anything you'd like to say to the people who voted for you?
Willie: Yes, Thanks heaps, I had a great time this year playing for Newcastle and I'm looking forward to a bigger and better 2013.
MS: A lot of people were skeptical of your signing, what would you like to say to them
Willie: Suckers.
MS: Thanks for your time Willie.


Great words Willie and Congrats.

 

[marknights]

sorry im late!

 

[josh2010]

Gagai would have been 2nd yeah?

 

[Jekk]

sorry im late!

Quickly sit down, no one has noticed you sneaking in

- - - Updated - - -

Gagai would have been 2nd yeah?

2nd place was a tie between Gagai & Boyd!

 

[jamesgould]

Round 22 and we hit a finals hiccup ... going down 26-10 to the Bulldogs in front of a huge home crowd. In a disappointing performance, the Marathon stadium crew thought these three stood out:
3. Willie Mason
2. Danny Buderus
1. Akuila Uate

This gives Buderus a two point lead, and puts Mason into outright third, and within striking distance of first place!

2nd place was a tie between Gagai & Boyd!

I voted Boyd ... I honestly thought Buderus would have been a shoe-in, though!

 

[jamesgould]

Round 23, and we kept ourselves in the finals race, with what sadly ended up being our final win of the season. Cronulla went down 26-4, and the points were divied up like this:
3. Jarrod Mullen
2. Darius Boyd
1. Willie Mason

New leaderboard! Mullen wrests the lead back off Buderus, and Mason continues his march.

Most Improved of 2012

Again you were divided on this award but in the end it was unbelievably a tie! Each scoring 28% of the votes:

Tyrone Roberts & Jarrod Mullen!



Congratulations fellas!

 

[jamesgould]

A few other awards before we go any further, rookie of the year is Robbie Rochow:



Half of the year (shouldn't be hard to guess based on the above leaderboard) is Jarrod Mullen - for the second year in a row! Kev congratulates him on the huge honour.
