The Gurgler’s Man of the Year Contest is heating up. Here we provide our second nominee for the first Golden Turpie.
Congratulations to Reggie the Rabbitoh.
This person didn’t have to wait nearly as long for this nomination as they did for another Grand Final win. But both are reward for undying loyalty and dedication to the cause of Red and Green.
Sure we could have selected Gurgler favourites like Sam Burgess, John Sutton, Sutton, or Greg Inglis, as good as they have been this year and previous years, and Sam did come a close second after his Grand Final heroics, but they have only been with the club a fraction of the time of the big white bunny.
Very few have suffered like Reggie, he’s been to at least every home game, and is one of the very few mascots who travels for away game. During the 43 year drought there have been some very lean times, and very few wins. But lack of on field success has never deterred Reggie from being a man of the people.
Always up for meeting fans and well wishers alike during games, and continuing his love for the people into his frequent charity work, no one deserves a little recognition than Reggie.
So to cap a big year for the big Rabbit is his nomination as The Gurgler’s Man of the Year. He thought winning the Grand Final was an achievement….
