the oh errol awards 2008: winners post

December 14th, 2008

You’ve been on the edge of your seats waiting for the Oh Errol Awards winners post, right? I imagine it’s the same sort of anticipation we’re experiencing waiting for 17 Again. And just like how we’re dyyying to see Zeffie in the full glory of his Ed Hardy getup, our fanz are dyyying for these results. Who is the Fattest Man in League? Who will take out Best Hair? The time has come, babies.

But wait, you haven’t announced the Matt Cooper Award for Hottest Bitch in League nominees!?

DAMMIT. You kids and your eye for awards categories – we were hoping you wouldn’t notice. Look, we totally tried to write it. For reals. And then this happened:

lskd

After taking one look at Hot Bitch Cooper naked with a footy strategically placed under his perfectly sculpted man-v, we realised no one can ever beat  (unless he asked nicely) that and the category was therefore null and void. NULL AND VOID PEOPLE.

So after many long, hard (tee hee) nights of  drinking straight from the bottle decision making, we finally present to you:

THE OH ERROL AWARDS 2008 WINNERS

The Marlon Brando (the later years) Award for the Fattest Man in League

The Nominees:

Jarrad Hickey (Bulldogs)
Danny Wicks (Knights) – WINNER
Mark ‘Piggy’ Riddell (Eels)
Adam Cuthbertson (Sea Eagles)
Steve Southern (Cowboys)

Granted, we are totally biased because he’s our beloved intern…but still. How can we go past the jiggling wonder that is Danny Wicks? His gut is HYPNOTIC.

The Fanta Pants Award for the Biggest Ranga in League

The Nominees:

Keith Galloway (Tigers)
Steve Southern (Cowboys)
Alan Tongue (Raiders)
Peter Wallace (Broncos)
Joel Monaghan (Raiders) – WINNER

Okay so he isn’t actually THAT ranga. He’s no bloodnut. More of a ginge than anything. But we have to give Monas this award. He needs some love. Why? Check out his appearance in ‘leading football groupie’ Charmyne Palavi’s News Ltd album:

UNKNOWN MAN. UNKNOWN….MAN. This year alone Monas has played great first grade footy for the Raiders, the Country team, New South Wales AND Australia. Apparently this fact has escaped the gallery compiler. Poor Monas…all that footy and he’s still The Unknown Man. Well not to us! He is the recipient of THE BIGGEST RANGA IN LEAGUE! We love you Monas.

The Polarfleece Award for the Snuggliest Man in League

The Nominees:

Jarryd ‘Baby’ Hayne (Eels)
Issac Luke (Rabbitohs)
Ben ‘Hornbag’ Hornby (Dragons)
Jason ‘Flossy’ Nightingale (Dragons)
Scotty Prince (Titans) – WINNER

Ohhh this was a toughie. But at the end of the day we had to give it to Scotty for the whole My Hero Reads Too thing, among other reasons.

Soz Flossy – if we had a Biggest Labrador in League award you would have won that fo sure. And Hornbag just had a baby…that’s almost enough consolation for losing this category. We guess.

The Des Hasler Award for the Best Hair in League

The Nominees:

Daine Laurie (Tigers)
David Williams (Sea Eagles) – WINNER
Matthew Bell (Panthers)
Nathan Hindmarsh (Eels)
Ruben Wiki (Warriors)

When Davey attacked his hair with scissors in a drunken post Grand Final haze, we all cried some sad sad tears. NOT THE HAIR DAVEY…NOT.THE.HAAAAAIR. For the sake of this award, we are going to pretend that that horrific event never happened. Let us honour the amazing work he (and his hair) did during the year.

l;klk

Dave has the trifecta of awesome hair. Colour, volume and length. It’s godamn perfect hair. Those natural white blonde highlights? AMAZING.  The Errol team is completely obsessed with everything 70s’ and Davey’s hair perfectly epitomises the awesomness of that decade. We hope he grows it back as soon as humanly possible.

The Caramel Delicious Award for the Best Skin in League

The Nominees:

Willie Mason (Roosters)
Reni Maitua (Bulldogs) – WINNER
Scott Prince (Titans)
Ashton Sims (Broncos)
Joel Moon (Broncos)

Bitch had to win something this year.

The Fuzzy Duckling Award for Cutest Rookie of the Year

The Nominees:

Kevin Locke (Warriors)
Marc Herbert (Raiders)
John Kite (Bulldogs) – WINNER
Lachlan Coote (Panthers)
Wade Graham (Panthers)

HE’S JOHN KITE. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY? Ok granted, this was a tough category too, but the passport story won our hearts and locked this win in.

The Oh Errol Awards will be back next year with a whole new batch of nominees! Or possibly just the same ones as this year with moustaches drawn on to trick you all into thinking they’re different. Coz we’re crafty like that.

IMPORTANT – the ridiculously amazing photo of Hot Bitch is from the brilliant Gods of Football calendar. Don’t be dodgy and rely on scans, go and buy the calendar yourself! We have multiple copies. It’s for a great cause. Let’s support the players for getting nakey for charity and support the brilliant work that the McGrath Foundation does.

So go HERE and find out where you can purchase one. Do it now. NOW NOW NOW!

    It wasn’t the newspaper who wrote unknown man, it was Charmyne herself!
    I think she actually said something “does anyone know who this guy is?” and when told it was monas shes claimed not to know anything about the raiders.
    BUT ENOUGH about her.

    Poor Reni. Im sure if he finds out he won best skin it would make his whole year. A bit embarassing though for me, after I told Scott Prince in person that he had it in the bag. MY BAD PRINCEY

  2. JessicaDecember 14, 2008

    Guh! Reni Maitua and John Kite! Congratulations, bbs! Your meat trays are in the mail.

    Heeeart.

  3. JessicaDecember 14, 2008

    Marlo maybe you should message Reni and let him know. Give him something to feel good about.

    Whether it’s the cocoa butter, the salt water, his parents genes? It’s clearly working. In fact, i’m jealous.

  4. JessicaDecember 14, 2008

    Oh, and naturally i’m biased, but i would have liked Jarrad Hickey to have won. NEXT YEAR, JARRAD!

  5. KikiDecember 14, 2008

    my davey hair collage is so awesome. that is all.

  6. EliseDecember 15, 2008

    you know what would be amazing?
    if some STORM boys actually GOT nominated.AT ALL. -HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE- AT LEAST ONE. ALL I ASK IS ONE!
    You wont even need to put too much dettol in your bath, unlike the ‘sticking up for billy’ post- which was AAAMAZING i might add- which you would have had to use the whole container.

    oh and im happy with all the winners, except davey. WIKI SHOULD HAVE WON.
    part from that- everything is good

    Finally I can sleep at night….night after night I have woken wondering “Who is the fattest man in league? Who???” and then spent the rest of the night pacing. Now I can have my rest.

  8. bazDecember 15, 2008

    hindy was robbed. he’s been working for this award his whole career only to be pipped by some ‘flavour of the month’ i wish i had the attention span to be outraged…

  9. SuchyDecember 15, 2008

    How could Keith Galloway not win the fantapants award? That guy is so orange I heard they tried to cut him into quarters and pass him round at half time. Tiger bias I reckonz. Scott Prince wouldn’t have won polarfleece if he was still at the Tigers….

  10. JessDecember 15, 2008

    Poor Monas… the unknown ranga

  11. JessDecember 15, 2008

    Also I LOVE that you didn’t put up your warning picture before posting the nakey Hot Bitch Cooper photo – I am laughing at the thought of lots of people get busted looking at his man-v at their work computers!!

  12. sassyDecember 15, 2008

    it’s true suchy. NO ONE LOVES THE TIGERS. at least not now there’s no scotty prince in the team. also at least not anyone who counts. heart.

    baz – you’re right, but I still say hindy has no one but himself to blame. enough with the haircuts already, hindmarsh.

  13. lozzyDecember 15, 2008

    YOU ARE ALL SUCH WHINGERS *storms off*

  14. bazDecember 15, 2008

    its maintenence!!! he needs to prune it back every now and then so it keeps growing back all luscious like…

  15. SaraDecember 15, 2008

    Daveys hair in those pictures is magnificent. And the beard just pushes it higher. And people try to tell me sport isn’t about the hair!

  16. KikiDecember 15, 2008

    um suchy didn’t you read the thing about Monas? we HAD to give it to him. HE’S THE UNKNOWN MAN.

    although i do agree with you, galloway is literally the biggest ranga in league. but my sympathy for Monas won out. SOZ KEIF.

    yes Hindy does have amazing hair, but nothing can compare with Davey’s golden mane.

    elise maybe we should have a category next year like BIGGEST TOOL IN LEAGUE…then all 5 nominees could be storm players! YAY! :)

    bahahaha. no obvs we need a Fiercest Bitch in League coz Cooper Cronk woulda won the shit out of that.

  17. KikiDecember 15, 2008

    oh and yes jess i have given up on warning people on nakedness. FUCK THAT. ITS MY BLOG.

  18. JessDecember 15, 2008

    I enjoy the lack of warning – each picture is a suprise to me! :D

  19. lozzyDecember 15, 2008

    elise maybe we should have a category next year like BIGGEST TOOL IN LEAGUE…then all 5 nominees could be storm players! YAY!

    LOLOL

  20. SuchyDecember 15, 2008

    Monas is a pretender to Keith’s throne. I’m going to spend next season standing on top of the toilet block at Leichhardt Oval brandishing a “Keith wuz robbed” banner.

  21. Mick the JokerDecember 15, 2008

    Danny Wicks Wins! The campaign would like to thank Donut King and Hungry Jacks for their unwavering support in making Danny the man he is today: Athlete defyingly Massive!

  22. bartDecember 16, 2008

    Monas is a pretender to Keith’s throne. I’m going to spend next season standing on top of the toilet block at Leichhardt Oval brandishing a “Keith wuz robbed” banner.

    I thought the toilet block at Leichhardt was Keith Galloway’s “throne”…?

  24. louiseMarch 19, 2010
