Some takeouts

-41 Bulldog players have been nominated for a Rising Star
-We have had nine years without a nomination in 32 seasons
-It looks like Plough was not fond of playing young talent!!!!!!
-The most nominations we have ever had in a season is three (1993, 2001, 2002, 2014)

How many Rising Stars were busts? Obivously open to interpretation.

I have Grgic (borderline), Nicholson, Penny, Talia, Hrovat, Honeychurch. That is six of 41. So decent odds if you get a nomination you have some type of career.

[bulldogtragic]

How many FS Rising Star nominees?

Small club me thinks.
