.... same link as in first post for this story:

COWBOYS captain Johnathan Thurston's sterling performance against the Titans has seen him capture a share of the Dally M leaderboard.

Thurston has now joined Tigers star Robbie Farah at the top of the table on 15 points after his commanding effort in the Cowboys' 24-10 win over the Titans.

Farah's impassioned performance at Gosford's Bluetongue Stadium on Saturday night earned him three points from the judges.

The pair have broken away from Kurt Gidley (Knights) and Billy Slater (Storm) who are in second place on 12 points.

Thurston's Comboys teammate Matt Bowen has snuck up to second place, also on 12 points, after his try-scoring effort earned him a point.

Titans centre Mat Rogers, who scored all his team's points, received two points.

Sharks lock Greg Bird's double try-scoring effort in the win over the Warriors on Saturday earned him two points and catapulted him over Titans ace Scott Prince into third spot.

Bird is now on 11 points, one behind Matt Bowen.





Predictable choices much?

Farah out in front

WESTS Tigers hooker Robbie Farah has tightened his grip on the 2007 Dally M leaderboard, moving into first place with 17 points.

Another strong game from Farah in the win against the Dragons earned him two points and enabled him to pull away from Cowboys captain Johnathan Thurston.

Thurston remains on 15 points with in-form Newcastle star Kurt Gidley, who earned three points with his magnificent display against the Warriors.

Farah's Tigers teammate Ben Galea, who scored a try in Wests' 27-8 romp over St George Illawarra, scored three points and joined the leaderboard for the first time.

Billy Slater (Storm), Greg Bird (Sharks), Matt Bowen (Cowboys), Brett Stewart (Sea Eagles) are all in touch with the leaders on 12 points, while Manly's Brent Kite is sitting in fourth on 11 points after his solid performance against Parramatta on Friday night.

He missed the first four rounds IIRC

 

[Marshall_magic]

Buderus had a (5 or 6?) game suspension

1 Semi
2 trials
and the first 2/3 games this year depending on the length of the suspension.

why on earth were we missing buderus in round 4 then?

 

[Timmah]

Trials don't count!

He served a 5 match suspension - The semi final against Brisbane, And Rounds 1-4.

 

[McLovin]

Doesn't a suspension take away any chance of winning the Dally M player of the year award?? If he was suspended last year i guess that doesn't count...
