SYDNEY, Australia -- New South Wales openside flanker Michael Hooper has been named the 2013 Australian Super Rugby player of the year after receiving 21 votes, four more than his nearest challengers. The 21-year-old Hooper finished ahead of ACT Brumbies veteran George Smith and Will Genia of Queensland, who won the award the previous two years. The Australian Rugby Union said in a statement Thursday that Hooper polled votes in nine rounds of the competition, with four of those matches rated as man-of-the-match efforts. Smith led until the final two rounds of the season. The award was decided in voting by 18 Australian media members on a 3-2-1 points basis for each Super Rugby match involving an Australian team. Waratahs fullback Israel Folau was named rookie of the year after switching codes for a second time following two years in Australian Rules football, preceded by a successful rugby league career. Folau polled votes in six matches, including three man-of-the-match performances, and was also New South Wales leading try scorer. He became a dual international with Wallabies selection for the series against the British and Irish Lions. Former South Africa coach Jake White was named Australian coach of the year after the Brumbies finished in first place in the Australia conference and lost in the championship final. White was overlooked for the Wallabies job when the ARU replaced New Zealander Robbie Deans with Australian Ewen McKenzie after the Lions series loss. White felt he was not given full consideration for the Wallabies job because he was South African and the ARU did not want another foreign-born coach.

BEREA, Ohio - The Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA title in June.The Cleveland Indians will play for the World Series title starting Tuesday.The Cleveland Browns this weekend seek their first win in seven games in Cincinnati and seem to be a long way their first winning season since 2007.For the Browns, watching the Indians celebrate the American League pennant brought mixed emotions.Its so, so bittersweet, cornerback Joe Haden said.As in theres excitement and happiness for the Indians success but frustration and disappointment at where the Browns are.Were going to get there, coach Hue Jackson said.Tuesday the Indians will open the World Series across the plaza from Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cavs will raise their championship banner. Haden said he is trying to figure a way to be in both venues for what will be a night of excitement and joy in Cleveland.The Browns will either be 0-7 or 1-6.The team recognizes that the Cavs title brought an explosion of elation to a downtrodden city. But the Indians success seems to have brought frustration that can border on embarrassment for the Browns.Im so happy for the Cavs, so happy for the Indians, Haden said. At the same time were one of the professional sports teams in the same city where theyre doing a lot of successful things.That the Browns are winless went unsaid.It puushes us, man, Haden said of the Indians success.dddddddddddd. We want to be successful. We want the city to embrace the Browns. We know this is a football town, but we want to get some Ws so they can show the same love and support that theyve been showing for the other teams.The Cavs have made themselves more than visible while rooting for the Indians. Twice in the playoffs numerous players -- notably LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith and Kevin Love -- led the cheers from a suite at Progressive Field. Browns coaches and players are in season and havent been as visible at Indians games, but they were very present for the Cavs title run.Haden said some of the Browns players are working on something right now as far as a suite for the World Series, but itll be a tough task given the way the Indians have captured the citys heart.Looking at it from afar, I want to be in that spot, too, Jackson said. The basketball teams done it. The baseball teams doing it, and has a great opportunity to get it done. Our football team -- were not there yet. But all those teams were built to where they are now today.Were in our stage, too. We got to get there. But thats the goal, is to win a championship. ' ' '
