Just in case people don't understand the "Most Interesting Barnet Award" is about dodgy hair - Barnet being rhyming slang for 'Barnet Fair'
So there's the likes of Strettle with his 'Strettle mop', Monye with his 'hair stripe', Botha having hair of a man twice his age, Danny Care's 'too much product look', Steve So'oialo and Chris Hala'Ufia with their Mohicans, Adrian Jarvis' 'no comb look', James Percival's 'blond spike', Will Skinner's 'Dash from the Incredibles' look, Luscombe and Botha could get votes for being backs who wear scrum caps - possibly to protect their hair.
The Academy lads have always been front runners in this sort of competition in the past but there's only really Charlie Amesbury with his 'Boris' do, Seb Jewell with a 'lost my comb' look and finally Chris Robshaw with his 'Berger look',
Remember to send your votes for all the awards to Emma at 'rugbybird@quinssa.org.uk' - you don't have to go to the MAD to vote. But you have to send your votes in by Thursday.
You can still get tickets for the MAD from Emma too
Just a reminder that all votes need to be in by end of day this Thursday (10th) in order to be counted.
We currently have clear leaders for the Most Interesting Barnet and Best Player Not To Have Scored A Try Awards but it is currently very close for the Unsung Hero and Hard As Nails Awards and 3 players have the same number of votes for Quinssa Favourite Player so your vote really can make a difference!
