    Five contenders named for 2009 John Eales Medal

    Former winners George Smith and Nathan Sharpe have been listed among the top five contenders for the 2009 John Eales Medal.

    The frontrunners for the prestigious annual award have been unveiled with the public also encouraged to choose between the five Qantas Wallabies players to decide Australia’s Choice – 2009 Wallaby of the Year.

    The five John Eales Medal candidates – those who collected the most number of votes from teammates on a 3-2-1 basis after each Test taking in the 2008 Spring Tour, the 2009 Bundaberg Rum Rugby Series and the 2009 Bundaberg Rum Tri Nations – are Adam Ashley-Cooper, Matt Giteau, Benn Robinson, Sharpe and Smith.

    The winners of the two major awards in the John Eales Medal and Austraia’s Choice – 2009 Wallaby of the Year will be announced in Sydney at the John Eales Medal presentation on Thursday, 22 October.

    The John Eales Medal awards night will be screened on Fox Sports.

    The public is invited to cast its votes online for the Australia’s Choice award – for the best and most consistent Qantas Wallabies player across the time period nominated – at www.rugby.com.au , www.foxsports.com.au and www.rupa.com.au.

    Robinson should win by a mile but it may go to Smith.
    Giteau for the people's choice, by a point over Tuqiri...

    Dick Lote is on the call ... so your just being a total tool... As a Force supporter why not name Sharpe or perhaps you don't back him as a Wallaby any more? I'd love to see TWF odds on this one TG if you can get your S*** together...

    Sharpe won't win because he has missed too many matches.
    He is however, indisputably still our best Lock option when available.
    Because you have only been around for a short time you wouldn't understand the comment re Lote.
    “Tool” is a very outdated derogatory name, surely a Sydneysider could do better than that?

    Jeez if Sharpie is made of paper it makes me wonder what the Brumbies are made of? Cobwebs?

    We should start referring to Mortlock as Darth Mortlock because after all those reconstructions he's more machine than man. And how about Clyde Rathbone. It's like he's allergic to being tackled. AAC was so embarrassed about wearing Brumbies colours he faked an injury for half last season.

    Darth Mortlock.... Yep I'm not sure how many original parts are still in him... The CSIRO support keeps him on the field, I guess.....
