Friday Night saw the announcement of the annual Bronco awards at the 2010 Broncos Presentation Ball at the Brisbane Convention Centre. The results are:
Rookie of the Year - Matt Gillett
Defence Play of the Year - Jharal Yow Yeh
Most Improved - Josh Hoffman
Most Consistent - Corey Parker
Best Back - Israel Folau
Best Forward - Sam Thaiday
Encouragement Award - Matt Gillett
Play of the Year - Antonio Winterstein
Player's Player - Josh Hoffman
Player of the Year - Josh Hoffman
It is fantastic to see Matt Gillett receive two awards, even if one sounds like the "I Participated" award that kids get at a Sports Carnival in Primary School. Sam Thaiday and Corey Parker should considering himself very unlucky to not get the Player of the Year award. I think it's blatantly obvious that this year has been the best of Sammy's career and Parker topped the Broncos for Tackles, Points, Hit-Ups and Metres Run.
The award for Most Consistent was awarded to Parker couldn't be more accurate - Parker has turned into one of the pillars of this team, similar in the way that Andrew Ryan has done for the Bulldogs for a number of years.
Hoffman was clearly the biggest winner of the night and while I agree that he has a successful year, I find it difficult to believe that Hoffman deserves Player of the Year. Player's Player is obviously the players' choice so we can't really argue that and Hoffman improved out of this world this season. Player of the Year though? Parker or Thaiday's form this year was far better than Hoffman's as far as I'm concerned.
That's about all from the Ranters at this point - to keep yourself entertained and for a good laugh, have a read of the Fox Sports NRL Awards.
