As much as i hate Manly Foran or DCE deserve Dally M player of the year,they both carve people up every week,disgrace if Jonathon Plod gets it.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

always 1 or 2 complete shockers in these.

Milford has probably been the most exciting out of the rookies but Gurgess has been the most consistent since round 1

Full back: Greg Inglis

Centre: Jamie Lyon

Five eighth: Johnathan Thurston

Lock: Sam Burgess

Second Row: Sonny Bill Williams

Hooker: Friend

Rookie: Hiku

Coach: Toovey

Dally M Player of the Year: DCE

Winger: Jorge Taufua

Half back: Daly Cherry-Evans

Prop: Andrew Fifita

While I don't think you're too far off, I think it's probably wishful thinking on some. Hiku has been great but George Burgess has been outstanding. Milford has also been very good.

Toovey has done an outstanding job getting the team peaking at the right time but will be overlooked due to Manly's recent success, Robinson has done great things with a team that came 13th last season. Robinson will be a deserving winner.

Who is Jonathon Plod? Did you graduate primary school? Maybe you're still there?

But Robinson does not have to work with a dysfunctional board.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Best rookie imo is Tohu Harris, but he hasn't had the Gurgess-level hype

 

[reanimate]

They should give the 5/8 of the year to Todd Carney with a camera focused solely on JT's face during the announcement

:lol:

 

[Dutchy]

That guy from the team I support should get the award.

 

[whall15]

Brayden Williame is a lock for the Rookie of the Year IMO.

 

[DIMEAST]

cool joke

That guy from the team I support should get the award.

That post that I make in every award thread is still funny

 

[Marshall_magic]

Fullback: GI
Wing: Taufua
Centre: Lyon
5/8: Maloney (although Carney, Sutton, Foran or Mullen could easily take this)
Halfback: Cronk
Prop: Fifita
Hooker: Smith
Second Row: Sonny
Lock: Parker (aren't Sam and Gal ineligible for having 2 suspensions?)

Rookie: George Burgess
Coach: Robinson
Captain: Smith
Dally M: Cronk (although I can conceivably see Cherry or any of the guys I named at 5/8 winning it)

Surely this is a piss take.

Twas. Should be the Burg.

Yeah I was half serious with some of those (Hiku, and I don't think Thurston deserves 5/8 really, it's an open field imo but I would give it to Mullen).

Toovey was 100% wishful thinking, Robinson will get it for sure, and not undeserved. Just feels like no matter how well Manly does our coach never seems to win, despite success for the players. Did Des ever win one? Not that I remember.

 

[DC_fan]

Greg Inglis as player of the year. Not saying he deserves it, just saying he will get it

I reckon this is pretty spot on. Possibly Thurston over Sutton but Sutton has been fantastic this year and thoroughly deserves it. Thurston has had a mixed season with plenty of outstanding games.

Smith seems to be a shoe-in every year for the hooker award but Jake Friend, Luke and Ballin have all been exceptional. Would be nice to see someone besides Smith win it but it won't happen.

 

[ek999]

Josh Reynolds will go close to Dally M IMO. Was the only Bulldog who really stood up at the back end of the season and would have scored points in most matches. Thurston will probably win it though. 3 points back when the voting went silent and he would have picked up a lot of 2 and 3 pointers in the last 6 weeks. The quiet finish in the last few weeks by Inglis will see him miss out even though he would be a deserving winner.

My team of the year
