Do ‘rested’ players still get match fees? They are not missing the game out of choice, so they could argue that they would’ve made the team and thus due the fees? Or not?

And the most important words in the statement above were “this year”. Role on 2010!

@TheTackler:

Let’s see…

An academic, backed up not only by international sports personalities that competed at the highest level but also coaches who have coached at the highest level but also supported by his peers and scientific fact.

VS.

The Tackler…

It is about as much of a contest as the Boks vs. the All Blacks this year…

@PissAnt: He’s missing three games at the START of the season — the blunt end, when a loss or two doesn’t matter much.

So, he’s got three months of off-season and three weeks of in-season to kick back. The rest period (leave on full pay) is a just reward for being the first man ever to be IRB Player of the Year twice.

Noakes and his crackpot 25 year old long-discredited theory is used to excuse the Boks EOYT total meltdown, but it fails to explain the AB’s unbeaten run on their EOYT or their scintillating 5 try rout of France in Marseilles with Richie just on top form.

Flat-earthers believe in Noakes.

@who cares: everybody doesn’t know it. The judges reviewed all the games and Ritchie came out on top .It doesn’t surprise me one iota. They did the maths and you are just trading opinions.

Even when his team is getting a pasting McCaw will still put in a man of the match performance unlike some others who shine when their team is shining.

Brussow is a fantastic player but even he is simply not as consistent at the highest level as McCaw is. McCaw has also been doing it since 2002 week in week out.
No player in the world has his incredible consistent form. He is the default player of the year almost every year.

Well done GH. This is called player management and ensuring that your most valuable players remain fresh for the big encounters.

Who said I’m complaining about a SA not wining the award. Where have I mentioned that a SA player should have won it. Richie didn’t deserve it this year, you know it, I know it, everybody knows it.

@cane: Agree Cane, They should have. We have it in our SA awards.
