I dare say that there's a late charge from SBW on the cards. Whether or not he'll be anywhere near close enough is another matter but he's got 3 on a few occasions lately and he wouldn't have been on 0 going into R16

The only player in decent form out of that lot is Price, but he's too far away and Cam Smith.

If the Tigers can win 2 more games and Farah stays injury free, he should win it.\

We're talking seven unseen rounds Brooksy, 3 points in just two games = six points, the gap closes.

Farah is in no way a shoe-in.

Id say he would picked up a point in our win against penrith and easily 3 against the cowboys, maybe one or two in losing efforts.

Not saying he's a shoe in, but he should win it considering hes on atleast 32 points and Thurston & Smith havent been setting the world on fire at all of late. BUt your right on SBW, if he keeps going he could claim it.

Farah to pick up 3 against Souths in 2 weeks, FTW.

Agree Steve Price may the bolter in that top 10 list as he has been very good for the 6 weeks, but whether he polled any points is the question

Hard to see how he couldn't have polled any points as he's been gaining record metres, playing full games, leading from the front etc etc. Easily the best prop in the competition.

Since its gone behind closed doors I think Farah will have gotten 6 votes

2 vs Penrith
3 vs Nth Qld
1 token vote

we have only won 2 games since it went secret.

Pretty much and also if the Tigers win Farh aint competing with many otehrs to get the points! Compare that to Cameron Smith who have matchwinners in every position!

You're doing lots of assuming ;-)

More like an educated guess.

Theres no way he didn't pick up 3 against the Cows. And throughout the year he has picked up atleast 1 point in all our wins and sometimes losses.

Lets not get too uptight about SBW not winning.

Unlikely, Gower wouldn't have gone near it nor would've Priddis.

jtb, while you're right on the ball with the correlation of winner and premier - I can tell you Brisbane d. Canterbury in 1998, not the other way around.
