Our man Grimesy87 neefd to be on that list.
He'll probably win it

 

[GremioPower]

Don't be that old guy who can't deal with things being different to back in the day.
The threads work well seperately

With two awards, one thread would probably be more confusing.

There will be a unifying Rising Star thread at some point. It’s unavoidable. There will be a RS winner, right?

During the season, however, treating the Gun and the Torch separately works better. At least, those who participated in S30 think so.

After all, they are doing that now...

 

[Tigerturbulance]

Another award I can win. Nice.

you will be able to put it next to your turncoat award you picked up before the season started

In muddy conditions, powerrrrrrrrrrrr (BP) and FishingRick04 (IC) did their job and more in the Rats’ win against the reigning premiers.

powerrrrrr 0 6 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 30
FishingRic 0 6 4 4 0 0 1 2 0 47

In a solid performance, FishingRick04 had MrPremiership's measure. - 76m from 24 to 100.

• In what was a very slow day for both, powerrrrrrrrrrrr won the bout with grumbleguts. - 38m from 52 to 90.
• Neither having much reason to brag, powerrrrrrrrrrrr and Noobz0r were hard to separate - though powerrrrrrrrrrrr was slightly more effective. - 0m from 98 to 98.
• Neither getting, near the ball much, powerrrrrrrrrrrr gave NTRabbit a lesson. - 1m from 6 to 7.

Catsnlakers has saved energy for the next round against the Dragons.

We play as a United group at the Rats, nobody is bigger than the team, to take the field with these ruthless competitors is an absolute honour.

Solid as a rock down back. As they say, a good offence comes from good defence.

I dunno mate. ant555 has a fairly solid claim to the contrary.

Ant is a legend of the Underground & will never have a bad word said about him.....Us Rats stick together.

ROUND 1 CANDIDATES

Defender of the Week - Rad Roo (CIW) - ADT 125.16
Alright, so kazzfkh was actually the rookie Defender to have the most ADT this week, but since they doesn't have a post in their match thread and Rad Roo posted once...

Rad Roo started off in the Back Pocket, which is interesting since he has a goal to his name. Must have had a laser-guided boot that made the coach think "What if we used that toward our goals, instead of away from their goals?" Over the course of the match, Rad Roo ended up on 5 different opponents, with the sim deeming him the winner of the 2 match-ups in the last quarter. Along with the goal, Rad Roo also recorded 3 tackles and 8 kicks. A quiet game if you weren't a rookie, but a good start for Rad Roo to get him further down the field (Though the 2 day-offs during the week makes me want to know what happens when he posts more than once).

Midfielder of the Week - Off Tap (WCW) - ADT 92.34
In a first-round win for the new-look Wonders, it should be no surprise that A) their winger did better than average and that B) their winger was a rookie. Off Tap was a handball merchant ending with 15 of his 22 disposals being by hand, as well as 5 marks, 3 tackles and a goal. They dominated their opponent while they were on the wing, maybe a bit too much as they needed a break during the end of the 3rd quarter and a chunk of the 4th before quietly finishing the game. Off tap was 1 of only 3 rooks to start in the midfield and this performance maybe the start of other clubs experimenting doing the same rook plan (or maybe it's posting).

Forward of the Week - DockerDen5215 (CIW) - ADT 132.93
Now onto the only candidate that stayed in their starting position the entire game. DockerDen on the Half-Forward Flank, not only had a great game by rookie standards, but also had a great game compared to everyone else on the field. Ending the day with 20 disposals, 3 goals 7 marks and 4 Frees Against, DockerDen showed that there was some bite to that bark by getting the most DreamTeam points of any rookie this week. Of course that's helped by being in the position I started off playing last season, so maybe this isn't the last time we see DockerDen have his name in lights for the Gun Award this season.

WildCard for the Week - FishingRick04 (SCS) - ADT 142.92
Unfortunately for DockerDen, most DT points doesn't mean most ADT points. They were 2 possible choices for the WildCard spot as they were 1 and 2 for having the most ADT points, and both came off the Bench (much to the delight of Headless). Only 1 could be WildCard however, and FishingRick just managed to score more than BringBackTheAnchor. In a mud-riddled game, you'd think getting 47 DT points off the Half-Forward Flank would be telling of how hard it was to get the ball and move it. But when you're a Bench player, you take anything, and FishingRick managed to do enough in terrible conditions to outshine, not only the rookies in the game, but all the rookies in the league. They even managed to kick 2 goals off 6 kicks and other assorted stats listed here:

Will dominating the stats board win it for DockerDen, or will FishingRick's contribution in the mud off the bench be enough to sway the voters. Maybe it'll be Roaming Rad Roo with his ability to play at both ends or will it be Off Tap handballing himself into contention.
WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO BE S31’S FIRST “GUN”?​
