community award: McGuire

YEP Shooting light: BJB

Rhinos player of year;

1st JJB
2nd Webb


3rd Sinfield

Well deserved for Jones-Buchanan.

Sums the Leeds season up generally, plenty of graft coupled with indiscipline. Leeds' top carries and metre maker amongst the forwards, the teams top tackler but also the biggest penalty machine in both terms of total and per match.

Some errors also but not in the same ball-park as Leeds' chief culprits in this category: McGuire, Webb, Watkins, Hall, Sinfield and Hauraki.

Surprised Ablett didnt make the top 3 and even more surprised that Webb was the runner up

well done jjb this is due recognition for a very industrious season,plenty of quality performances in both attack and defense


i thought ablett should have definitely have been in the top 2
i cant see how webb came 2nd,could anyone shed any light on something i must have missed?

Hall & Ablett should have been in the top 3.

Ablett has been immense this year.

Webb wouldn't even make my 17.

Agreed, Webb wouldn't be in my 17 at present either. I can only think it was earned based around his amazing play when he slotted in at Quarterback when required.

jjb played well at times, deserves to be in top 3, dont know about no1 though, abblett for me been immense, he's a totally different player to a few seasons ago, really matured. really turned up the heat since senior departed. all that hard work and no recognition, a real unsung hero. Did web sneak in while no one was looking, mmmmm don't get that one.....

Take a bow!!





You're now responsible for the tea dripping off my monitor.

Glad i can bring some merriment to some on these forums! But i have noticed that a lot of my posts are a little anti-webb and I don't want to be seen as being on a crusade like others on here. Therefore I will button my lip for a while!

Also don't see how Webb got in ahead of Ablett .. bizarre.

Ablett has been great for the team this year. He has done every job put his way with 100% commitment and with minimal fuss. I look forward to him finally get the opportunity to settle into a position week in and week out.

1, Abblet
2, Buderes
3, Hall
My two penny's worth

Considering Ablett has recently been in the press stating a desire to watch the NRL on TV he's fortunate to still get picked on match days let alone on award nights.

Personally I think JJB deserves this award. If all of the team had made the same effort as he has, who knows what could have happened this season. Yeah he gives away a few too many penalties, but in a season of inconsistancy he was one of the only few to stand up and be counted.

I agree, him and Ablett have been two of the best backrowers in the competition this year.

The Wigan fans are livid that Hoffman didn't make the dream team (understandably IMO) but there is also a very strong case for JJB.

Well done to JJB, thoroughly deserved.

I am surprised Ablett didn't get in but not too surprised at Webb's inclusion. I know he gets a lot of stick on here but week in week out he's often our most creative half back. Clearly his peers and coaches recognize that if the fans don't.

No mention for Ben Cross?

I, alongwith the majority of posters, believe Ablett should have been in the mix but when you consider the same person who made this selection selects the team each week I'm guessing no more needs to be said.

I think y'all being way too harsh on webb he's still class when fully fit.

Just back off, oreet.

I'm sure he is. The obvious problem being that he hasn't been fully fit for at least 3 years.

No one is disputing that a fully fit Webb is a class act. The point of these awards is they are supposedly based on the season's performance and the most fervent Webb supporter cannot honestly say he has played his best rugby this year whereas Ablett has performed week in/week out and playing the majority of the season out of his natural position.

It would be mildly amusing to think of a catagory that he might have been the winner in.

Worst signing for not one, but two Super League clubs in single season (most crap props we sign from Australia just settle for being a disaster at one club but Cross wanted to do better than that - at this rate he'll be RL's Stan Collymore)?
