    @taniwharugby Has nothing to do with being PC in my opinion. I agree some spots are debatable, but I think they're spot on with Cocksedge and Woodman. In your reasoning, there could never be one award for men and women in sport. I guess you also have a problem with the Black Ferns being elected team of the year then?

    @stargazer no I dont...how is that even comparable, you are trying to put words in my mouth?

    That award has nothign to do with gender, it is about the best 'team'

    I think it is PC, so we will just have to agree to disagree.

    I thought the selection was fine. It isn't meant t be an Earth vs Mars selection, it is recognition for the best performance in each position irrespective of gender.

    ....and we live in a world where it's very dangerous to assume one way or another.

    So the finalists are confirmed.
    Both men’s and women’s seem light to me ( especially the men’s) I guess yachting felt it was unfair to single out a particular member but to me Burling would have been a strong chance to win.
    Team must be only a 2 horse race, Team NZ for me

    I hope Luteru does it. Always good to see him emerge from Kanes shadow.

    This one is actually relevant on this occasion.

    The awards are the major fundraising event for Sir Murray’s charity - the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation.

    The full list of Hallberg Sporting Moment of the Year finalists have been announced:

    • Martin Guptill smashes 11 sixes to give the Blackcaps a seven wicket ODI win. (Blackcaps vs. South Africa, Hamilton)
    • Mitchell Hunt drops a stunning last minute drop goal securing the win for the Crusaders during the Super Rugby season. (Crusaders vs. Highlanders, Christchurch)
    • Michael Venus wins the French Open men’s doubles final to become the first New Zealand male Grand Slam champion since 1974. (French Open, Paris)
    • Black Ferns Sevens win the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series. (Black Ferns Sevens vs. Australia, Clermont-Ferrand)
    • Emirates Team New Zealand win the America’s Cup.(Emirates Team New Zealand vs. Oracle Team USA, Bermuda)
    • Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber – win the Le Mans 24 hour race.(Le Mans, France)
    • Black Sox win the World Softball Championships title for the seventh time. (Black Sox vs. Australia, Canada)
    • Tom Walsh wins the shot put gold medal to become the first New Zealand male to win an IAAF track and field championship. (IAFF World Track and Field Championships, London)
    • Black Ferns win the Women’s Rugby World Cup for the fifth time. (Black Ferns vs. England, Belfast)
    • Lisa Carrington wins the K1 200m gold medal for the fifth time at the World Canoe Sprint Championships.(World Canoe Sprint Championships, Czech Republic)
    • Ross Taylor achieves a record equalling 17 test centuries with the Blackcaps in the second test against the West Indies. (Blackcaps vs. West Indies, Hamilton)

    Strange list. Very difficult to compare some of these "moments" with each other. I mean, Mitchell Hunt's drop-kick was an awesome nerves-of-steel kind of game winner, but relatively minor compared to - sticking to rugby - winning a World Sevens Series or a World Cup.

    Best day of my year (and I got married in January!)... will remember forever the showers of beer raining down as everyone at the game jumped in celebration.

    Afternoon game too, myself and 3 friends (lawyer, accountant, dentist) were refused entry to one of the shittiest Irish bars in town at 6pm for being too intoxicated 🙂

    I reckon Michael Venus is a bit hard done by in not getting a Men's award nomination - winning a Grand Slam event in tennis is not to be sniffed at. Pretty rich list of candidates in 2017.

    A bit odd that Ross Taylor makes the list for his 17th test century to equal Martin Crowe's record, but Kane Williamson does not make the list for doing the exact same thing in March at Hamilton against South Africa.

    The nominee list is just to appease all sports. The fun (and debate) starts when they release the finalists.

    I predict that TNZ wins the supreme award.

    Who needed an awards ceremony! 😉

    Just saw that Hunt's drop goal was the winner on the night. How you compare a single play to 'Black Ferns Win World Cup' or most of the other contenders I don't know, but a little disappointed that others didn't share the sentiment around Ross' 17th ton.
