I went a couple of years ago & it wasn't a bad night (well 4 years ago now I think of it)!!
Can you get tickets or is it an industry night only?

To'omua or Kuridrani, given the shorter rugby championship and no inbound matches, the performances of the 2014 end of year tour carry greater weight.

By my reckoning, there have only been 8 tests to count for this years JEM, with the Barbars match not counting.

Key players on the Northern tour based on browsing over G&GR MOM votes were:
Hooper, Kuridrani, McCalman, Folau, To'omua, Slipper, Phipps, Fainga'a

Key players for TRC and Bledisloe 2 based on browsing over G&GR MOM votes were:
Hooper, Pocock, Folau, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Phipps, Fardy, Horwill, Mumm, To'omua

Therefore leading contenders for JEM must be Folau and Hooper who had regular good performances on Spring Tour and the 2015 tests.

Nah. Hooper was down on the EOYT actually. I think he'll poll his worst ever season (for his high standards).

I think it will be pretty close but I'd have Hooper as the favourite with Folau pretty close.

On the EOYT, Hooper will poll close to MOTM for the Wales game. He'll probably poll reasonably against England. To'omua, McCalman and Kuridrani will all poll well also.

Springboks should have Hooper polling MOTM.

Pumas will have Pocock as MOTM and the only contender likely to poll well will be Folau.

Bledisloe 1 should have Pocock and Hooper amongst our top vote getters.

Bledisloe 2 should have Fardy and Folau amongst the top votes.

I agree in general but I also think that Folau had his worst run of tests ever over that period and he's the most likely contender. Hooper should poll MOTM against Wales.

To'omua should poll really well on the EOYT but it's likely that the only TRC game where he'll get points is Bledisloe 1 off the bench and that's unlikely to get him close to MOTM.

Wow! Really surprised that Hooper didn't poll MOTM against Wales and be right up there after the Spring Tour. Instead, nowhere!

Can Benny McCalman hang on despite not playing all the tests? It's a sizable lead. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) must be a strong chance as well.
