My boy Will makes the TOTY for the fifth consecutive year! Only player to have done that.
Malcolm Marx in there at 4.
Goldie and Mils picked Will in their TOTY as well - as did Planet Rugby.
Nice!
Reminds me of the second BB player of the year award in 2017 that had little do with on field play and more to do with reputation.
He makes my Passes to Nowhere team of the year so you can bank that one too.

Sounds a lot like Mitch's Journey to Nowhere - Will should be well placed when Mitch takes over!

He has too much flair with the ball in hand (TBF I guess not knowing where the ball is going to go when leaving his hands could be considered flair to).
Anyway, you know the first thing he is going to do to the spiritual successor of Cullen is to drop him while injured and say that he would have been dropped on form anyway.

Great engagement with the TSF TOTY Brand!
Cut through with our valued stakeholders is strong, and we value your participation in this iconic annual (mostly) celebration of the best players in this year's test match calendar.
Just a reminder to jump on the nomination threads in the Fernies forum. https://forum.silverfern.rugby/category/69/fernies
I'll add any nominations from here, including those who made the assorted published combined teams.
I'll try and get the polls up toward the end of the week.

Excellent work so far @booboo. Maybe @Virgil should take note ?

A pretty good team, to be honest. Strongly disagree with Jordan at fullback but otherwise, no obvious issues. Beirne and Kolbe maybe a little controversial.
Will Jordan living rent free in Boneseys head.
