This is always a tough one, this year even more so. There are so many players that it could go to.

I think I'll have to mull over it a bit more

Very close call with Robshaw and Skinner.
The front-row must be the biggest improvement in a fantastic season - so far.

Agree , such a close call and so many candidates, but for me it has to be Chris Robshaw - consistent excellence and commitment

Could be any of the front row. I'd say either Robshaw or Tom Williams.

TANI - legend.

Robshaw, and if there's a runner up, he'll first there as well!

Robshaw for me too. His tireless work at the breakdown has been invaluable.

I think many of our players have done things to put them in line for this award, but all things considered I reckon Robshaw is most deserving. I think he is arguably the best blindside in the country, and only behind Croft if anyone. I certainly think he is our most consistent player, in terms of graft, intelligence, skill, low error count, and discipline. The fact he is still so young and inexperienced in such a demanding physical position just adds to his kudos.

Robshaw for me too.

Quinky Kin

Robshaw, without a doubt. But many of the other players could win if he wasn't there. It's so close, but he really has done nothing wrong, and everything right. Each week I think he has played the perfect game, then the following week he just surpasses himself yet again.

ceri jones or mike ross for me could we have a joint pize(Sm100)

I voted Robshaw. What a player. Maybe if he bleached his hair or grew a massive beard he'd get noticed more.

Hard to think of any first-team squad member who has had a disappointing season.

Rocker
30/04/2009 19:30
Ross just shades it over Robshaw for me (joint 1st). Tom Williams or Ugo in joint 2nd. But they are all brilliant!

Quinny Quin Quin

Skinns has led the most successful Quins team for some years - that must count for a lot.

Robshaw has been phenomenal - all has been stated above.

Ceri and Rossy really have been incredible all season and they deserve some sort of award.

Botha has come into contention with a great surge towards the tail end of the season.

Danny has had some sort of role in creating the large majority of the tries we have scored this season.

NEv, well, what is there that hasn't already been said?!

JTH has consistently been our strongest ball carrier in the backs this year and has been instrumental in gaining solid ground in the middle of the park - has continued his development.

Gonzo has had a very solid season in the centre and has fixed a problem position for us.

Ugo didn't get into the Lions for nothing - he has been a MASSIVE player for us this season.

Tom Williams has been brilliant this season - glad he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.

Gommers has been his usual passionate, expressive self and has become the fan favourite - a strong contender.

Tani is another fan favourite and has had such an impact off the bench.


So many to choose from and impossible to choose. I'm not sure I'll be able to vote - we just have too many great players!!

What a tough choice - could have been any one of a dozen but for sheer consistency and guts for me its Tom Williams

Seven Deadly Quins
30/04/2009 21:09
Four people i would like to see get it; Gommers, Molly, Williams or Skinner.
I'm edging towards Gommers or Molly at the moment.

UQ
30/04/2009 21:13
JTH for me. He has consistantly proved his worth this season. It's great to see him being one of the first to congratulate other team members and welcome on replacements. A wise head on very young shoulders.

Arlecchina
30/04/2009 21:22
Robshaw or Williams for me. Both been outstanding this season, as have many, but those two just edge it in my opinion. What a season though! To be this spoiled for choice speaks volumes.

Bedfordshire Boy
30/04/2009 21:42
Ugo, Ugo or Ugo for me

Bloggs15
30/04/2009 22:13
Voted for Robshaw, but could have gone for Care, Nev, Jordan or Rossy really!

southquin
30/04/2009 22:17
Ceri and Rossi have been brilliant and Nick Easter has had a very, very good season. Skins has captained fantastically and JTH has really grown up into a top inside centre. Ugo has matured still further into a Lion. The Bear injects speed that this team thrives on and is a key player in the success.

However I think the award should go to the coaching team who week after week manage to sneak two blonde No 6's on to the pitch without the ref noticing.

If we were looking for a new chant, how about
"He's here, he's there, he's every bl@@dy where, Chris Robshaw, Chris Robshaw"

Vixen
30/04/2009 22:23
Tough tough tough choice but I think Skins edges it for me just over manyothers whole squad deserve it shared to be honest but Will for his leadership gets my vote, then NEV then RObshaw then gawd list goes on and on.

The list of names above, all very deserving, just goes to show what a team effort it has been this season.

Quinten Poulsen
01/05/2009 07:34
Indeed, and let's not forget the great showings from Robson, Percy and Easter, amongst others.

Boonie
01/05/2009 08:57
Gommers would be an interesting choice, given that he's not going to be around next season. Would be a good way to send him off. He's certainly a crowd-pleaser!

But...it's between Ceri and Chris Robshaw, I think.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to bleat about it all over the internet"

I voted with my heart and went for Gommers!

I can't choose, Robshaw has been outstanding, Skinner one of our best ever captains over the last 15 years and a great player, Tom Williams what a great season for him, Danny also had a great season, the front row have played out of their skins, Nev enough said, JTH has been superb and Tiesi has been find of the season, they've all given so much and played so well. Gommers will probably end up getting my vote for the pure passion he's put in or Robshaw as there seems like theres two of him on the pitch at the same time.

Definitely Malone.

Did you used to be decisive.....but now you're not so sure?

GlynQuin
01/05/2009 13:09
Gonzo, for me. He is the glue that has held the 3/4 together in attack and defence.

Battering Ram Winger
01/05/2009 13:13
Put me in the Robshaw camp. Perhaps Mr Haskell could learn a thing or two from him about getting on, learning your trade and putting in consistently good performances week in, week out.

woe quin
01/05/2009 13:17
If Haskell is "The Brand" , then Robshaw is "The Substance"
- think Quins fans know who they'd prefer in their team.

01/05/2009 13:51
I think this is a very hard call indeed for all the reasons given above. But when I think about some of the turning point matches, and most recently our heroic victory away at Bath, I have to give it to Ceri- maybe because I was a prop, maybe because he managed things I could hardly believe.

poorfour

Two very interesting themes emerging from this debate.

Firstly, we are spoilt for choice. Nearly all of the regular first teamers have at least some support, and it's a measure of just how good the squad is that the strongest support is for Gomars and Tom W, who aren't even the first choice in their positions.

Secondly, for all that there are many, many very good candidates it also seems that there is a clear favourite.

For me, honourable mentions to Rossy, Ceri, Gary Botha, Tom Williams, NEv, Molly and Gonzo.

Runners-up spots to:

JTH. He has matured into a brutally effective player in both attack and defence. Moment of the season: ripping the ball out of a ruck on his own 5m line against Leinster, and starting a move that went to the other end of the field. Here's to a long and happy career shredding defences for Quins, England and the Lions.

and Will Skinner. Has grown in stature as a player and a captain throughout the season, and a major force in the team's development from pretenders to contenders. Deano knows what he is worth as a player and a leader. How long until Johnno realises?

But I'm afraid my choice of Player of the Year was fixed on 5 October. Two outstanding performances in four days. Step forward, Chris Robshaw.

01/05/2009 16:27
Its Ceri for me, every game, 80 minutes. What a player, one of the great unsung heroes of the squad.

QuinAlan
01/05/2009 16:51
I have gone for Tom Williams.

The Prof
01/05/2009 17:50
Right, decided, Ceri gets it

drama Quin
01/05/2009 17:51
What's he done wrong?

The Prof
01/05/2009 17:52
Nothing at all, as with all props he is completely innocent winking smiley

[Teddy]
01/05/2009 21:46
Robshaw for me

Tom Williams, Will Skiner, Tiesi, Mike Ross all running him close

rugbychick
01/05/2009 21:48
I'm sitting here trying to decide and it's nigh on impossible! As already mentioned there are so many contenders. I have loved watching Robshaw and Tommy W this season but my heart says Gommers as a thank you for the passion he gave to Quins. Aggghhhh.

Quinky Kin
02/05/2009 12:33
Pity it's just the players... I think Deano deserves some kind of award for building such a phenomenal team.

poorfour
02/05/2009 17:46
Well, "Supporter's DoR of the Season" could only really end in a resounding victory or a spoiled ballot - but there might be some potential in "Supporter's Backroom Team Member of the Year"

So many candidates - Deano, JK, Collin Osborne, Dipper, the Physios.

This year, though, I suspect Gomars would win...

Robshaw. I can't believe how underrated he is by others outside this club. does so much work.

Tough choice - But I go for Chris Robshaw.

It's great to have so much choice ...

For what it's worth my vote has gone with the ever reliable Tom Williams. He's really stepped up a gear this season. He's been ever present and consistently made valuable contributions in each game .... I didn't really have to justify the vote ....

Gonzo and Robshaw come in my second equal by a hair's width ....
