On Sunday night I was privileged enough to go to the Vodafone Warriors prize giving at Skycity convention centre along with some other members of the Stacey Jones Lounge from Mt Smart. The MC was Andrew Voss Rugby League commentator and host of the Fan on Fox Sport. It was a fantastic night mixing with some wonderful people I thought the night was very well organised. Here is a list of the winners on the night Sir Peter Leitch Member of the Year Jayden Penerata Vodafone People’s Choice Award Roger Tuivasa-Sheck Vodafone ISP Team Man of the Year James Bell Vodafone NRL Rookie of the Year Isaiah Papali’i Club Person of the Year Laurie Hale Canterbury of NZ Clubman of the Year Blake Green Vodafone ISP Player of the Year James Bell Vodafone NRL Player of the Year Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (Simon Mannering Medal) Vodafone Warriors acknowledgements are in the newsletter. We have a massive night on Saturday night with the Vodafone Warriors playing and the Vodafone Woman’s team is the curtain raiser and yes Sky will be showing the game. And of course the All Blacks play so it’s gonna be a pretty late night for the old Butcher. I’d also like to take a minute to thank all the lovely people that sent me messages regarding my healthy. Thanks very much. Enjoy your weekend and all the best to all the teams. Sir Peter Charles Leitch KNZM QSM
