[QUOTE="Marszxc, post: 425149, member: 53395"] IMO, 1. [B]Wyatt Crockett[/B] Phenomenal scrummaging, very mobile, popped up with a few tries too. 2. [B]TPN[/B] Destructive runner, tore defences apart early on in the season. Bismarck du Plessis would have come in second. 3. [B]John Afoa[/B] Best season for the Blues ever. Good luck to him in Ulster. Any of the Franks brothers could have come in second. 4. [B]Nathan Sharpe[/B] Did his work, led the Force well and by example. 5. [B]Brad Thorn[/B] Tireless workhorse, shining example on and off the pitch - respect to him. Coming close - Jarred Hoeata, Ali Williams. 6. [B]Scott Higginbotham[/B] Rock of the Reds' pack. Real unsung hero of the season. Adam Thompson deserves a honorable mention though. 7. [B]Matt Todd[/B] Stepped up and did superbly well in McCaw's absence, big future ahead of this kid. Beau Robinson deserves an honorable mention. 8. [B]Kieran Read[/B] Was the rock and the leader for the Crusaders in McCaw and Carter's absence, provided all the experience. Messam comes in second. 9. [B]Will Genia[/B] Has to be him - Reds' outstanding player of the season. Top player. 10. [B]Dan Carter[/B] Even when he's not at his best, he sparkled for the Crusaders. Sometimes he makes things look so easy its simple to forget his contribution to the game. Quade Cooper will understandably feel hard done by, but the two occasions that the Reds came up against the Crusaders he vanished and was clearly second best. 11. [B]Digby Ioane[/B] The sensation that has taken Super Rugby by storm. No other winger has made scoring, and celebrating, tries look so good. Drew Mitchell would have been a contender if only he had the chance to continue his sparkling form early on. 12. [B]Benson Stanley[/B] Surprise package, but he's always one of the hardest workers for the Blues. Rock solid in defence every game. Honorable mentions - SBW, JdV and Conrad Smith. 13. [B]Robbie Fruean[/B] Blockbusting midfielder with top attitude. His tackle on AAC against the Brumbies epitomizes the man, never gives up. Fourie and Jarred Payne were just short. 14. [B]Zac Guildford[/B] This boy's got some wheels on him. One of Crusaders' most consistent performers this year. Looks for work all over the pitch. Sean Maitland, Kade Poki, Rod Davies came close too. 15 [B]Isaia Toeava[/B] He's been out for a long part of the season but when he started for the Blues they absolutely sparkled. This boy is quick and strong in equal measure and his penetration from fullback is outstanding. Honourable mention has to go to Kurtley Beale of the Waratahs. [/QUOTE]
