Favourite sons win competition best player awards

8 September 2008

Luke Rawnsley, vice-captain of the undefeated Blacks 2004 team, has won the 'Brownlow' of the Blue Diamond League in NSW, playing for Newcastle City. The way in which Luke plays is a coach's dream, and the way coach Anthony Parkin spoke of Luke led to speculation that he in fact did dream of him. Talking of broken hearts, Number 2 member Andy Smith has been in mourning since his love child Al Smith moved to WA last year. Given that Al won 3 B & F's in his 3 years at Blacks, it is no surprise that he too won his comp's best player award.

Congratulations Luke and Al from all your friends at the Blacks.
