Sandow showed enough improvement in 2010 to get the "worst" tag off his back - I can't believe he is leading the votes by some distance.
I voted for Tim Smith as well. He just hasn't shown enough improvement for me to believe he is a long term prospect in the NRL. Yes he came in with a bang, but he then faded badly when people worked him out and he's yet to recover.
Mortimer is in the same boat, but he's only young and still has the potential but was possibly the worst halfback of 2010.
As for 2011? Well who knows, all three could have excellent seasons - but I get the feeling that Tim Smith is the least likely of the three to do so.
I think Sandow's a bit of a polarising player at the moment, because of his cockiness.
whilst it's going to serve him very well in years to come, it kind of puts people off him...........When he celebrates smashing a bloke for eg.
Those who watch Sandow alot know that he's a far better player than some give him credit........Even his defence is better than statistics show...he's a gritty little bastard who doesn't give up. He might miss the tackle, but he rarely actually concedes the line break..... I recall Brett Kimmorley was a similar player in his younger days.....Sandow I believe will grow into a very good player.
As for worst, a few players could be in line for that this year, and it's a little unfair to pre judge...........Consider that Luke Walsh had a great season last year, but this year will have plenty of attention. Also the likes of Hodkinson will be going through his second year (both Sandow and Mortimer struggled with it), Manly's halfback hasn't even made his debut yet, and last year's worst halfback, Scott Dureau no longer plays in the NRL......
Just a few thoughts to consider.
