I think Clarke will walk young player of the year.
Should it not be rookie of the year though? Someone who has pushed through into their first year in SL?
Just an idea for going forwards.
Also why not have prop of the year, winger of the year, etc.
We need to expand the awards, players want wider recognition, but we need to help ourselves. Also difficult to compare a winger to a hooker and prop etc.
A winger can have a storming year, but will hardly touch a hooker on the OPTA stats. Given all the tackling that is done down the middle of the park.
I know the dream team kind of does this but I think it's had it's day I know peacock and clarke were in the dream team but could not name the rest without looking. Where as winger of the year gives a more individual accolade to the player and boosts them up rather than being a member of a fictional team.
