MOM v Celtic Crusaders : Mon Feb 16, 2009 9:55 am  

OK another year of the Scarlet Turkey.com player of the year has begun, so vote away, we had a few candidates on Saturday but who stood out for you?

Malcolm Alker by a country mile.. [NO CONTEST THIS WEEK]

Quite a few players had a decent game, but I,ve gone for Alker.

But a special mention to Cashmere, Stapo and Swain.

As good as the front row was (Cashmere, Alker & Stapo), and it was very, very good for me the one man that really stood out and it's been mentioned that when he left the field he was really missed is the Swaindog (That is apparently his nickname in Oz? ) I thought he looked good in the pre season games but Friday night confirmed my initial judgment, it looks like we've got ourselves a quality loose forward.

I'm with KOTS on this and say Swain was the stand out man for me, showed some classy touches and was like a 2nd hooker at times. Lets hope that the big lads up front cotton on to his off loading skills as they could cause some serious damage.

Nice to see from the results that Talau, Sibbit and Adamson all visit our messageboard

Smith gets my nod. Alker comes a very close second.

I went for Jeremy Smith because it was his home debut and he created two fantastic tries with really creative passes. Thank the lord, at last we have a decent, creative ball player in the team!

Alker looked lean and sharp, running well from dummy half and working hard in defence. He was a close second but I didn' t go for Malc because he spent a large part of the match off the field.

a complete no brainer............Alker by a mile
