Darnell has been nominated this year for the Albert Goldthorpe rookie of the year. www.totalrl.com/eight-youngsters ... ear-medal/ Well done- difficult to believe he's a rookie really as he just gets on with it as a seasoned player like Murphy did. Think it's a measure of how good he is that Stone has made room for him when the Fullback spot was taken up by Mamo then rankin. He's scored some great tries too!

wont win it but good to see him get some recognition, improving at a rate of knots he is!

Between him and Kruise for most improved player this year. Darnall is becoming a very good RL player. Runs the ball back well above his weight, makes good metres, good tackler and pretty safe under high bombs. Well deserved recognition from this nomination and great to see him progressing through the ranks to become a regular choice in the starting 13. He has proved to be a top finisher and great to see two genuine threats on either side in him and Jerry. Also think he shows great bravery for his size and doesn't hold back when bigger oppo forwards run at him or line up to him as he runs the ball back.
Good on you Darnall really looking forward to see him further progress, he will likely have a stormer next season I reckon.
