Erryn Langley – 4 Votes (First adult female to pole votes)
Craig “Crazy” Irvine – 4 Votes (good effort as not on this trip)
Mark “Hoody” Hood – 2 Votes (Had asked Allison if he could go out in front of the boys and thus was awarded the "Soft cock" award)
Anthony “Tuba” Ryan – 2 Votes
Simon “Simu” Evans – 2 Votes (Constant blank stare in the subways had us all feeling nervous)
Genki Tanaka – 1 Votes (still very much considered a BHN member, did a handstand at the formal presentations)

Dan Penny - Very lucky not to be nominated and thus poll any votes.  His performance on the Segway (trying to do a burnout and subsequently falling on his arse) was a sight to behold.

Previous Winners

2007 - Luke Penhalluriack
Nearly locked up on plane, Corku style spillage photos, rarely sober etc etc.

2006 - Peter "Kotsu" Kotsaridis
Spat the dummy after losing Grand Final locking himself in bath with all his muddy gear on blocking the hole and flooding his room at the Radisson.

2005 - Dave Dovaston
A performance so shocking the award was renamed after him!  Had a penchant for cosying up in the nude to room mates Tri and Kotsu in the middle of the night, other unmentionables

2004 - Daryl Brunning - drunk at the arrival to the Radisson subsequently tripping over and tumbling over the entire touring parties luggage,  pinning goodwill badges on students.

2003 - Lorne Walker (One time ex-pat and ex Goanna) 
Spent 6 months raving about how he was going to dominate at the tournament only to stay up all night getting drunk playing strip poker with 2 air hostesses the night before the match. He arrived with 5 minutes to go of our last game and was put on to tag an ex AFL player playing with Singapore and had 4 goals kicked on him in the 5 minutes. We finished last of 7 and were eliminated from day 2 meaning he travelled all the way to Japan for 5 minutes of football.

2002 - Shane “Knackers” Vandenakker
Spent the whole trip with no money waiting for his salary to be paid in.  Nearly arrested trying to break into the building we were staying at, at 5am.  We were on the 6th floor – of the building next door.  Copping a Simon “Cooky” Cook dummy spit when he boundaries the grand final and called the ball out with Cooky spiking him with the ball. Getting lost all the time and holding up the tour for countless hours.
