Devo that we don't have a game this weekend, I feel like I would've racked up 45 touches and 5 snags such is my rage.

The prestige of the Rising Star is well recognised. The award itself is clearly defined, understood and has an uncontroversial voting method. It acknowledges the ‘best’ overall Rookie when considering both off-field and on-field performance with more weighting applied to the on-field.

The Rising Star is an indicator for the official Rookie award, the EKA, however this does not guarantee a dual winner.

Over the 14 seasons where both awards have existed in harmony, only 4 dual winners have been crowned:

• Season 23 – Elton Johns Wig
• Season 24 – Yakker
• Season 27 – AceAndy
• Season 33 - DragoDelph

Ok, now lets get into some data and see if we can start to piece together who the S36 Rising Star will be!

The top 10 game thread posters (by total number) are:

Irish BlueBagger Ocha905 DemurePrincess King Tenz Gralin

Observations:
Gralin is a clear frontrunner and has proven to be a frequent presence at the top of the weekly game thread a whopping NINE times. This was closely followed by King Tenz with 8, and DemurePrincess with 5. Amazing effort!

Equally deserving of recognition are the Rookies that turned up each week and still managed to be a leading presence in these threads. These Rookies finished in the ‘Top 10’ of the weekly game threads; Gralin & King Tenz with 12, Ocha905 & DemurePrincess with 9, Irish BlueBagger with 5, and cats_09 with 3.

Wow in some good company there.
