Dally M voting system is a stitch up

[Saxon]

I think you'll find Billy Slater is a deserved favourite and leader so far

As he should be.

 

[Uncle Kraka]

With flogs like Justin Hodges judging what do you expect

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

Evidence

B Hunt 7 points
K Ponga 6

I rest my case

Does the system need an overhaul? IMHO blimmin Fantasy NRL has clearer and fairer scoring models than the 3 point system.

Well RTS, as good as he is wasn't the best player in the NRL last year, maybe top 5 at a stretch. He cleaned up last season as he was sorrounded by a bunch of nuffies. There were better players who were sharing points with team mates.

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

How is Brad Parker not on that list?
Agree this needs an overhaul.

Needs more Brendon Elliott. For mine Cody Walker has been the form player, with Munster behind.

Come on it must be a numerical error...

That is awesome.

I favour that being his assessment more than an editing flub.

Ponga should win it

Ponga by one matty johns c*m shot

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

I have a similar issue with Nearly NRL (fantasy comp). Every time a team wins you can guarantee close to the same three guys will get the points, popularity contest and nothing else. Joke

Just one?

Pearce wins it last season if he doesn’t get injured. He will probably come close to winning it this season too.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I don't think the system is flawed at all. Case in point...

Ash Taylor received more Dally M votes last year than both James Tedesco and Luke Keary.

Accurate as f**k. Clearly, the system works.

 

[King hit]

Well this same logic got Slater man of the series

 

[Sphagnum]

It should be awarded to whoever can kill the most zombies in CoD without bashing any innocent women or children for interrupting them

 

[mave]

Extra points for bashing them with kitchen cutlery.

We all know it is crook. Main reason is the judges are either from News Ltd/Fox Sports or Channel 9. They all have a tendency to look at the "flashier" players, which is why the players who are up high on the leader board are usually players who play in the spine (i.e. fullback, five eight, halfback and hooker). Also some of them, you do question their judgement or any inherent bias.

Things the criteria is so subjective it can cruel some players. For example, a team can win in 30 margin thumping, yet one judge will give a 1 or 2 point to someone on the losing team, whilst in a similar game another judge will give all the points to players on the same team.

As someone else said, giving ratings to all 17 players on each team, ala Rugby League Week, would be a fairer system.

 

[Valheru]

3 2 1s are fine when judging the best player for the season within a team because it doesn't matter if players take points off each other, in fact that is the whole point.

It doesn't work in a comp wide best player award because it is too easy for any one player to be sabotaged by their own team mates meaning they might get less points than they ordinarily would. case in point being Farah/Benji al those years at wests.

Just rate each player out of 10, 5 or whatever for each game and you ave a true reflection of the best players in a given season.

 

[Springs09]

The main problem is it doesn't reward consistency. A player like Mitch Moses or Ash Taylor can have blinders against 3 shit sides and play rubbish every other game and get 9 points. An 80 minute forward can make 200 metres and 40 tackles every game and get 1 point maybe here or there.

RLW had players like Hindmarsh, Gallen and Parker win.

And whilst I prefer the graded every game system, it will still require judges, people would still complain about the scores given.

They killed the rothams where the ref judged.

Hell check any team forum, people rarely agree on their own teams 3-2-1.

I can only imagine the difference rating every player in every game would have just in one forum.

This award is for outstanding performance, only 3 of 34 players get points.

It is not a consistency award, hence guys like Moses poll well or guys in crap teams.

Maybe we should just let the Furher pick. One judge above them all.

NRL loves a good farewell story, surely Cronk is a shoe in?
