Proud of you Tonga BobView attachment 880607
Congrats on being named in the "People's Choice" All-SFA Team mate. Does being chosen in this team by your peers mean more to you than getting selected in a team produced by a committee behind closed doors? Do you expect to get into the "real" one later this season?
Thank you Thrills! Whether it’s a team picked by my peers or by a committee of team elders who are people too, the recognition is truly humbling. And without getting ahead of myself, I’m quietly confident that my body of work this season both on and off the field stands up favourable against the other contenders.
Who else do you hope is in this team to play alongside you? Do any other S29 rookies stand a chance of selection?
I’d love to see quite a few of my Wazzas teammates selected, along with a good selection of the players you asked for and a decent amount of S29 rookies. The obvious choices are the Goose, the Chipmunk, the Brazilian, and your good self. Even wise old Santoz may get a run. I know I’m preaching to the converted here Thrills, but this season’s rookie class will be looked back on in the annals of SFA history as the benchmark on which to compare other rookie cohorts.
What does it mean to you knowing that you appear to be so well renowned in the SFA? As a rookie this is all the more impressive. What do you have to say to the people that voted you in?
Any recognition from your peers is humbling to receive, so I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who I’ve interacted with this season for making my introduction to the SFA so much fun. In particular I want to acknowledge TiF & the rest of the Wazzas for all of their support and guidance this season. I’ve had an absolute ball this year, which I hope shows in my posting. The challenge now is to back it up with a similar effort in the following seasons, and to continue to do my bit in helping the rookies of the future find their way in this bizarrely wonderful world we’ve found ourselves in.
