Panthers - 422
Madunit - The ‘Brains Trust’ meets ‘The Reality’
Score: 83
An amusing article that hits some current events and the useless nature of News Limited. I did find myself wondering where it was going until the end, with a good one liner to finish it off.
Broncoman - Playing out of position
Score: 80
Solid article about the interchangibility and utility of players and their positions. Lacked a the 'grab' of other articles, but otherwise well written and constructed.
Azkatro - Silly (a.k.a., A Detailed Analysis Of The Events From The Manly vs. Melbourne Match From Friday 27 August, 2011)
Score: 88
Very amusing article, floated and flitted a bit but was quite funny and managed to get a chuckle out of me quite often. The Bellamy section really did it for me, though. Loved that part and would read it again, again, again...
LeagueNut - Situation vacant
Score: 86
Quite a cluey article and something I've always wondered myself. There's a lot of dinosaurs in our game that have no right to be there. I'm not even sure Mark Riddell has the literacy level to write his own column. How he possibly scored that job with the articles he shits out is beyond me.
Didgi - Eligibility, a farce at the best of times
Score: 85
I wholeheartedly agree. I'm currently living in Tonga and have had my eyes opened to just how much it would mean to the people, let alone the quality of the game, if players like Israel Folau, Brent Kite and Fui Fui Moi Moi actually played for the country they came from, not where the pay cheque is bigger.
Ninja's - 418
joshie - (No title)
Score: 79
Reasonable article on why players keep fronting up and letting people do grievous bodily harm to their bodies. Lacked punch and purpose, but did raise a few good points that I hadn't considered.
gUt - Picture this
Score: 90
One of the best articles I've read this year, not just for it's humour but the fact that I could see Fox doing this. Had it all, this article - Jokes about the 7 Roosters fans this world has, a sly stab at Fox's commecialisation and a pointed poke at supporters who don't get out there and give their team the courtosy of buying a meat pie and cheering on their efforts. Well done.
jamesgould - The Mystery Man
Score: 83
Some quite valid points raised by this, and I wasn't aware that Uate and Stig had benefited so greatly from Stone. Frankly, I think Stone got screwed over and Newcastle is repaying him a favour by getting Bennett to do a similar mentoring role as what he did to Price.
Hallatia - (Not title)
Score: 84
Amusing article that takes a good few stabs at Saints, pulling out the 'c' word on a number of occasions. Also raised the point that 26 rounds is a long time and you really only need to time your run well enough and you could be running around singing 'We are the champions' in October. I do think Manly and Melbourne will end up facing off again, despite the fact that I can't stand both teams.
edabomb - The Curious Case of Joel Thompson
Score: 82
An interesting look at Joel Thompson and the statistics since he's been playing. Article lacked a little bit of direction and punch, but did give good insight to the player himself; of whom, I had little knowledge and that's always a good thing.
