The Greenhouse

2019 Fans' Choice Player of the Year



The Fans' Choice Player of the Year has been awarded since 2004 with an impressive roll call of winners, including Ruben Wiki, Alan Tongue, Terry Campese, Shaun Fensom, Jarrod Croker, Josh Hodgson, Jordan Rapana and Nick Cotric. Josh Papalii won the award for the second time in 2018. An individual trophy, sponsored by The Greenhouse, is presented to the winning player at season's end.

We have built a great tradition with this award at The GH, and you can be part of it!

Who will be the winner in 2019? It is you who will decide!

In the Fans' Choice Player of the Year, you can register your votes here for the top performed Raiders player, on a 3-2-1 basis. The rules are you can only allocate 6 points or less each round, and can split them any way you like, but no "half" points are permitted and no player can be awarded more than 3 points.

So, you can give the best player 3 points, the second best 2 and the third best 1, in the traditional way. Or you can give two players 3 points each. Or you can give 3 players 2 points each etc. No half points are permitted.

At sometime after Tuesday each week, all the points awarded by everyone to each player each round will be aggregated and then the top three players will be awarded 3, 2, 1 points.

Only votes made by Raiders fans in posts on this thread on The Greenhouse and in response to the post on The Greenhouse Facebook Group will count.

In this thread, feel free to speculate on who will be the player of the round prior to the match.

But 3-2-1 votes can only be made AFTER completion of the match in this thread.

Like last week, I find it very hard to give out any points, it was just another solid team performance.

Honourable mention to Jack Wighton, gee he’s in absolutely everything, but that was the quintessential rocks and diamonds game! Just needs to dial it back one notch and his game should come together nicely.

Weird game, not sure anyone played particularly well.

3 - CNK: Was very sound again, saved some tries and gave some real energy. I like how chatty he is at the back.
2 - Sia: I think the team was getting VERY frustrated prior to him coming on and he just settled us down nicely. Hugely impact with ball in hand too.
1 - Croker: Defensively he was great and i think he created a lot with little when given the chance. Dont feel great about this one. Might delete later.

3. Whitehead (tackled HARD)
2. Toots
1. Lui (ran frequently and with venom in the opening stint)

How on earth is Hodgson getting points. Were people watching a different game?.

Anyways - hard to split the points this round. I'll go:

1 - Sia
1 - Papalii
1 - JB
1 - The Clock
1 - Rapana
1 - BJ

Honourable mentions also to Sutton, Williams, and Cotric.

One day very soon Wighton will do 100 things without error and pick up 12 Dally M points.

I cover my eyes at times watching him, other times I'm all "GO JACKYBIO"

He just needs to not kick. Focus on running first then kicking

2 - Whitehead. Another great game
2 - Williams. When as tough a halves task-master as Sticky says he's done a good job, you've got to take it on board.
2 - CNK saved the tries where Croker missed his man.
