OTHER THOUGHTS ON AWARDS
- Junior Mendieta unlucky to miss out
- Sundowns won league early
- Downs not dependent on the individual (like 2021/22), but the collective
- Gap between the best & 2nd best at Sundowns smaller than at Pirates
- Important that awards are time specific
- Andile Jali and next season - where does he go now?
