Wouldn't mind the Silver Ferns winning it.
Actually, I wouldn't mind if our national Bowls runner up gets it either.
Eugene Bareman should easily be coach of the year. However I doubt they'll make the correct call.

2019 Halberg Award Supreme
Nominees
Nominees for the Sportswoman, Sportsman, Team and Para athlete/team categories are all eligible for the supreme Halberg Award.
How did Read get a nomination this year? Seems more like a career performance nomination (like Pacino for Scent of a Woman).
Yeah, I'm surprised NZR nominated them. Ardie I could understand.
I don't expect either to make the finalists.
ABs have won seven of a possible 32. The next best have three (the Evers-Swindell twins, Bond-Murray and Team New Zealand). Auckland's npc team also won it once.
@Stargazer
The Halbergs tend to favour Olympic sports, World Champions (ABs, Silver Ferns, etc) and Americas Cup winners.

ABs aren't anywhere near World Champions ATM!

@Machpants I think only teams & individual sportsmen/women/coaches that represent NZ can be nominated for a Halberg Award.

Good point!
@jegga said in 2019 Halbergs:
Bit disappointed Laurel Hubbard isn’t there for her results in the pacific games .
Would have been a ballsy move to nominate her/him/them.
@JC said in 2019 Halbergs:
Carrington/ Adesanya/ Taurua/ Black Ferns for the main awards for me.
Scott Mclaughlin is a good shout too. Best ever season in the v8s.
