Cole Peverley (Hawkes Bay United)
3. Coach of the year award (so far)
Toss up between Stu Jacobs (cause he got Wellington to play
football and returned them to a position of strength which Mick Waite
couldn't do) and Colin Tua'a (for getting Ulhmann and Coombes to
concentrate on playing the ball and not the man)
4. Goalkeeper of the year award (so far)
Dan Robinson (for not making as many clangers as say Eaddy or
Williams although Nicholson gets a mention purely for the clean sheets
he has had)
5. Goal of season (so far)
Menapi for kicking the skin off the ball against Otago. Just absolutely spanked it.

That's a little harsh... Team Wellington always played football, it's just that they fell apart defensively late in the match too often. Usually they should have been well up by that point.
Stu has added consistency and a defence.

Possibly but by the same token and I mean this as no offence to Colin and his ability as a coach because I rate him, if you inherit a side thats won 3 championships in a row and in the 4th season, are still top of the table, how can you justify that as coach of the year material? Granted he has them playing a totally different style of football but they are in the same place they have always been, top of the table. Wellington have climbed out of the cellar. Added a defence and consistency? If Ricki does that next year, we get results and get off the bottom half of the table, we will be asking for him to be coach of the year in the HAL awards.....
