[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 976487, member: 76349"] Really don't agree about PSDT, the man is a machine and absolutely deserves this. Brilliant player. Mapimpi might have more tries but I doubt anyone not immediately related to him thinks he's a better player (or even finisher) than Kolbe. Dunno how I feel about the Tier 2 nomination, it does have a feel of tokenism but is probably a good decision. Like a lot of people I don't rate AWJ nearly as highly as his deification in the media would suggest I should but it's probably fair enough based on this year, Wales deserve some level of recognition for their success. Pretty par for the course for this award really, it's always a list of who has the most hype rather than the actual best performing players (not that they're mutually exclusive). With that in mind actually quite happy to see PSDT and Curry nominated because (at least until a few weeks ago) I didn't think either were getting the praise they deserved for their performances (don't get me wrong, they both got plenty of love but I thought they were both underappreciated).
