Jack Gibson Medal Winner 2023

[Bruce Pickett]

Congratulations Collins.

[Thirteen]

Why weren't you there last night holding the banner?

You must be getting banner-holding withdrawal systems by now, as it's been a few weeks.

Now now King there is no need to be jealous because I get to be on the field as the players run out. Who wouldn’t want such an honour.

[Johnny Brass]

Well done Lindsay he was consistently our best forward this year and has taken his game to another level. He had to be very close to the Wally Lewis medallist in origin as well. The amount of times he comes across in cover is an indicator that not only he has great endurance but tremendous anticipation and awareness of danger.

[Bates]

Surely Nat Butcher deserved to win something. Perhaps a red, white and blue ribbon

Someone should send Batemans a box of tissues.

Chin up mate. There's always next year!

And to think that after round 1 and round 2 we had chookpen experts questioning if anyone was happy to see Lindsay Collins wearing our Roosters jersey. Congratulations to the big man he was robbed of a player of the series medal in state of origin but this medal is more prestigious. Congratulations to all the other winners especially to De La Salle Va’a his relative that sometimes posts on the website must be very proud.

Oh simpy been delving into your little notebook again . Very sad

he's really stood up this season and in soo as well. emotional speech - he lost it then he found it and finished strongly

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Lindsay's speech was terrific

[King Salvo]

No mention of Corey Allan ?

Seen a report that Allan won't be offered a new deal - Tigers and Dragons are possible landing spots

The Roosters are set to offload former Queensland Origin representative Corey Allan ahead of the 2024 pre-season.

The Daily Telegraph reported Allan will not be offered a contract at the club for next season, which will end his 12-month stay at the Bondi club since switching from the Bulldogs.

Robbo was excellent. As was everyone who spoke, including the wonderful Cath King. Hugely respectful that they referred multiple times and named the players who are going to other clubs. Very classy and very well done. The club is in very safe hands. Siua Wong said for one of his many awards "I couldn't imagine wearing another jersey". respect to the James Mathews award I remember when he died. I googled it now and it was at Jugiong on the Murrumbidgee river 2.6 hrs from here xmas eve 1992. He was 24 (as was I) lost control went head on and dies instantly the other driver a 37 yo nurse had only minor injuries. His Mum came up on stage the other night, (after being introduced as his daughter) Cordner didn't acknowledge her until after he'd given the award to Keary, and when he did she said to him "I'm his Mother not his daughter"

Well deserved! One of the world's best players right now. Glad he's one of us and came through our systems...

Also glad he's taken those stupid hip drop tackles outta his repertoire. Collins has developed greatly over the past ~12-18 months.
