Damo, I see it a little differently......sounds like sour grapes to me.
No doubt he's a buggar for nicking off when you need him the most but what's that got to do with the medal.....he was either best Rookie or he wasn't......he clearly was or he wouldn't have gotten the votes so he clearly deserved the medal for the work during the year.
Players leave for whatever reason all the time.....should we strip club jackets and medals off them as well if they leave the following year......or is their a statute of limitations on how long you need to play before leaving, after winning an award???
Get real Triggy!!
