Congratulations to all winners
Date 16th December 2011
Falcon award
This goes to new boy Jonty. As that ball flew into his head I couldsee the split second as Jonty gasped..."oh no not again". His prize is a years supply of panadol. Well done on a great season Jonty.
Blow up award
Well there were a few contenders for this one. If Milton and Biggsy had attended more games they would have easily taken out this prize. For a while there Bill was going to go back to back on this award after his clear win in 2010. But the winner for 2011 was Full Metal. His prize is a 2 week camp at Sprinkling Farms, Sydneys leading stress relief facility.
Frank Sinatra award 'You will do it MYYYYYY WAAAYYYY'
There was only one player who collected points on this award The Chairman. Only through his caring words on the paddock did we know what he wanted done and how.
Buys of the year
Well so many contenders in this one. The Rookie brought out of a 20 year retirement to put on the white boots had a great year....next year he may come in off the wing a little more :).
Milton the enforcer brought to the team the line speed lacking in some of the older weary legs. Jonty brought lightening speed and many tries.
But the winner in 2011 was BIG BRAD BRETT. Teams found it harder to stop BIG BAD BRETT than the Touchers had in trying to land a nickname for him. Well done Brett and you are welcome back in 2011. Unless of course you too sell up and leave like the others around the Ballesty palace.
Lazarus award
Well there is only one contender here. After declaring his retirement from the game after round 2, Harro secretly assigned a sports therapist to fix his knee, Harro rose from the grave and brought his direction and ball skills back to the Touchers with aplomb. His award is a gift voucher for a knee replacement which is valid for up to 15 years.
Any news of your retirement again will be ignored by the recruitment
sub committee.
Phantom who walks award
Well once again just as was said in the '86 classic The Highlander 'There can be only one'.
Biggsy wins this award after receiving all of the votes.
Biggsy, had he played a full season would have collected many awards but with just 2 appearances and many "yeah I am coming up to play Ballo" messages; Biggs is the 2011 Phantom award winner.
Your prize will be the insertion of a tracking device in your wrist.
The Ron Hilditch award goes to the Locksmith
Ron Hilditch was known as the Hitman in the 70s' & 80's and Locksmith brought that style to the Touchers. Many times the defenders heard the word "TOUCHED" and they never knew what had hit them.
Being a proud Parramatta supporter I am sure this trophy will take pride of place in his Nambucca mansion.
Steeden award
Goes to Faz for bringing the game ball when he decided that he should turn up and not go and see another Foo Fighters concert.
Tooheys award
Goes to Bill for bringing the best brew in town with Manly club colours emblazoned on the can. Keep it coming Bill.
The After lunch award
Goes to Milton. An easy one you would suggest.
"Are you playing tonight Milt ?"
"I will be there after lunch !!!!"
Your award is a $250 voucher to the BBQ King in China town
Rookie of the year
Well durrrrrr its his nickname, who else is gonna win this one. Yep you know it, yes its the ROOKIE.
Your award is of course white shoe polish to keep your new white boot shining brightly.
PLAYERS PLAYER
To close out proceedings on the years awards is the Players Player.
A man who lead from the front despite the demands of the Chairman.
A man who ignored the terror of Harro stopping him from getting to the game.
A man who felt like he could score at will.
The VICE CAPTAIN.
Congrats VC
Well that brings the curtain down on another year of Touch footy.
Its been a privilege and an honour to bring you each weeks report.
I would like to thank my sponsors of which there are too many to mention.
Yours for the last time in 2011
Full Metal
