I hope Uate thrashes him
Manu has been too quiet for the majority of the season
Personally this game should of decided who should win this award
Manu had it all over Uate today in all aspects (Attack, Defence, Power and Aerial Plays)
No. Uate has been way better across the whole season.
Just because the Warriors one-upped the Knights doesn't mean sh*t, or by that logic you all would be saying Jarryd Hayne is a better fullback than Billy Slater after Jarryd blew Slater out of the park in Round 13.
Uate is easily the best winger this year, Manu has been too quiet for the majority of the season. Uate has been far better in a team that has been playing inconsistently crap.
Uate is a fantastic attacking weapon and I love watching him play but his line defence can be poor at times. It will be a close call between the 2 and Uate may just get there as Manu has missed a few games this year and played a few injured. Fully fit Manu is better than any other winger in the NRL by a country mile.
I'm not gonna let you off for this one, pure and simple Manu is the overall better Winger. Yeah Uate might win this award for his stellar season and being the leading try scorer, but theres more to being the best winger than scoring the most tries. Unfortunatley Manu wont get his recognition because of everyones premature ejaculation thrill Uate gave them earlier this season. MANU GREATER THAN UATE (atm - because i beleive uate will get his chance to shine too)
Vatuvai
Nightingale
Uate
Perrett
Morris
IMO Kiwis have 3 of the top 5
Its a shame that Perrett and Nighty while they compete for the same right wing position in the National side and are very similar players
they never actually mark each other
Perrett is our best option at fullback IMO
And there you have it. The award is not who the better player is, the award is who has had the better season. Aku Uate has. For a start, Manu missed 6-7 weeks mid-season. Uate has not. He would have been accruing a lot of points in that period.
