Lol what a complete joke these Awards are.
These awards should be fan voted, too much Northern bias.

@Canes4life With fan votes you get even more Northern bias, if only because there'd be many more people voting from the NH. Fan voting is per definition biased and if there's more than one player from a country, that would split the votes, too, and possibly result in a player from another country winning.

Something needs to change because the uproar on social media and the comments on the World Rugby page show that even supporters of other nations were shocked the likes of Ardie weren't nominated.
World Rugby are fast losing respect from their fans and it's hurting the game IMO.

There's plenty of examples over the years where the best player hasn't won this award. But to deny Fluhler a spot is fucking ludicrous.

@Canes4life did you see the post (cant recall by who, but one of the panel) talking about the process?
It does seem pretty reasonable with a diverse panel and with the number on the panel there would be a wide range of players nominated, but is still somewhat a surprise that Ardie didnt even make the final 4 (some of the SM comments are hilarious though, but is full of fucktards that know less than fuck all, in fact, if they knew they knew fuck all, they'd know more than they do currently)

Don’t think it’s doing anything to the game tbh. If you’re relying on the right people getting the end of year awards for the good of your game, you’re in trouble. There are way more pressing issues. Like making the RWC draw 3 years out.
