RYAN TYRRELL WINS PG HAMPSHIRE AWARD

Rockingham captain Ryan Tyrrell has won the 2008 PG Hampshire Award for the best & fairest player in the KWIK Transport & Crane Hire WA Premier Grade Rugby competition.

The versatile forward received the gong to a standing ovation at the annual RugbyWA awards evening at Burswood last night.

A 2006/2007 RugbyWA Academy member, Tyrrell led Rockingham to fifth on the ladder in the 2008 season, where they were pipped for a place in the semi finals by defending Premiers Perth-Bayswater.

The 24 year old continued to mount his bid for a professional contract with an outstanding campaign with Rockingham, with whom he has played for since his junior days.

Congratulations, Ryan and other award winners!

Ecky what happened we thought u was the best

Well clearly it's not about who's the best.......

Actually, I dunno how this is voted upon, or whether the Refs' Assoc tell Rugby WA who it should be.

:offtopic:
Totally agree about Ryan Tyrell - I only saw Rocky twice this year and he got top votes from me in the game I reffed and I'm pretty sure he got top votes from the ref in the other game that I did the 2nds & ran the line for 1sts (that was when they thumped Kala). Tyrell is a very classy player.

Good to see John Greens name up there. I still remember the day he broke his neck playing for ARKS 2nd grade like it was yesterday. Also played alongside his kids in ARKS juniors.

congrats Ryan...........
