TWF Player Awards, Force v Cheetahs - Week 13

[Darren]

you know the drill by now - ALL the standout players!

[Burgs]

Not a great display from the starting front row (sorry boys) but a great win so I've been pretty generous with the rest of the "votes".
Personal best on ground for me would be a toss up between Sharpey (official), Hodgson and Graham who I thought was outstanding in defence. The rest had good patches but not good matches for mine.

Has Ioane got the biggest left foot sidestep or what? Gotta get more ball to him. Graham's defence has kept many a scoreline respectable this year!

Funny innit? Josh Graham has been one of our most consistent performers all year. Yet he doesn't seem to get much recognition, particularly here at the TWF poll. He's one of those "tradesman" type players that every team needs. Many times this year I've seen a big hit and wondered "Jeez who was that?" and it turnes out to be Graham. In fact the latter part of the season I'ts more like "was that Josh Graham again?" and many times it is. He's a great front-on defender - well except the one where he put his head in front of Mark Gerrard - ouch!

With the recruiting that The Force have done he's likely to be part of our "depth" next year. But we won't be losing out when he's called upon.

[Burgs]

Fully support that shasta and have had exactly the same experience this year as well.
He came into the squad with a fearsome reputation for tackling and it now appears it was well founded!
As his Union knowledge grows, especially with the input from the likes of Gits and Drew, I am confident he will play his way back into starting contention in a season or two.
In the meantime, he will make a very useful bench player to come on and rattle some bones in the final twenty of matches.

[MysticBalls]

Graham will definitely help CLOSE OUT some games next year for WINS, especially if he comes on at the 60 min mark, fresh and lively (his going off ground cost us the Cats game) .
