Clive Churchill Medalist

[Pierced Soul]

Moa was my pick.

 

[DJShaksta]

I thought Maloney deserved it to be honest.
But not upset by DCE getting it as he played a great game for manly.
Butthurt roosters fans on Facebook calling for SBW to get it need to understand it's an 80 minute game.

DCE?? What a load of shit..:lol::lol:

It was a great decision, The Clive Churchill Medal is for the best player in the match, not the best player in the winning team. You obviously don't know much about footy.

 

[Eric Galt]

Good decision.

 

[Canard]

No. Brad Mackay winning in 1993 was the worst.

Easily the worst, unlike last night the Dragons were never even remotely in the hunt for that game.

 

[adamkungl]

I thought DCE was excellent.

But f**k giving it to the losing team, the whole crowd booed the decision and deservedly so.

LOD got injured? When?

Think it was early 2nd half, he was sitting on the bench icing his hamstring.

DCE played well but it is strange ginving it too a losing player.

LOD got injured? When?

His hamstring flared up and couldn't return. But it was him in the first half that got you back in the game with his direct running. Cherry Evans wasn't even the best half in his side but he was better than Pearce.

 

[typicalfan]

To be fair the Roosters didn't have a lot of standouts and Foran and Cherry Evans were good. Foran was good all game and Cherry Evans was good in the second half. I think it was a career enhancing decision which is disappointing imo. The left side for Manly put in two tries to the one penalty try on the right.

I think it is too awfully convenient that the Australian selectors pick the heir apparent 7 while overlooking the kiwi Foran who played his guts out or Maloney who probably deserved it most but may have red felt through his name after a disappointing Origin series.

Love or hate SBW as a person there's no denying he's a great player. The Roosters don't win without him. Giving the medal to a Manly player so the fans have something to take home is ridiculous.

As ridiculous as that reasoning that you have just made up in your head.

DCE fully deserving winner. I had him earmarked for it but thought they would join in the fap off and give it to $BW. After all it had to go to best on ground so they could hardly give it to Schubert.
Nice touch by the Rorters fans booing him when he received it. Classy.

 

[bottle]

DCE excellent and clearly deserving.
Had he been the Rorters 7 they win by 40 .

Didn't notice he was injured, thanks.

The momentum turned to us in the first half when he came on. At 33 or whatever he is still a valuable player, on par with JWH

 

[JoeD]

I wasn't worried about Sonny Bill-Williams winning the Churchill Medal since he is a Kiwi and people from overseas are all but ineligible to win.

This and

Nothing beats Lockyer being given it in the WC final for doing nothing except missing several tackles.

[Bobby DIGital]

Kicked out on the full, dropped the pill with noone near him...pure class. Had Manly won, Maloney could have taken some credit for it.

Exactly. Maloney's a fraud. Throwing a forward pass which leads to an important try doesn't make you MOM.

Anyway, only Kangaroos get the CC Medal. It's proven. No kiwis can ever win it. That's why DCE got the nod.

A bit of an overstatement there, princess. Chicken fans - yes, Sea Chook fans - no.

 

[Hutty1986]

Loving the usual whinging kiwi conspiracy theories.

 

[Alan Johnson]

I'd have given it to SKD for holding onto that pass.

 

[GongPanther]

No Bradley Clyde winning in 1991 was the worst of all time. Meninga saved about 6 tries for Canberra that day and was easily their best player, Clyde was the flavour of the month and Penrith had at least 4-5 more deserving players.

+1.

This was the time when the Clive Churchill medal lost it's credibility.

It's an absolute insult to all league fans when someone from the losing side wins the medal.

And Bob Fulton can pick the feathers from his mouth.
