Fans turn to respond to RLW players poll

[Someone]

This is on for the fans with an opinion.

the following is the results of the players poll of 2009 in RLW.

to reply to this, copy and paste the below results, removing my opinions and adding yours . Il start.

Best Player in the game
Thurston

-Understandable, he is the Australian halfback. hes in great form, and deserves the credit.

Biggest Sledger
Ennis

- He certainly gets in everyones way by the looks of it, but i was sure wendell sailor would take that vote out.

Most under-rated player
Alan Tongue

- For me, Tongue gets a far bit of media coverage, escpiacally from RLW. id vote for Luke Douglas.

Most over-rated player
NO comment, however Willie mason is second.

- Willie hanst been great, but injury hasnt been kind to Mason. I would vote for Marshall.

Best new talent
Jamal Idris

- To be honest, there hasnt been a rookie thats come out and stolen the show for me. Id vote Idris though.

Il add this one in too. For this answer, imagine your a player, and youve got all 16 NRL clubs chasing your signature. which club would you least like to go to?

Club the players would least like to join
Rabbits and Warroirs

- I would go with the warriors aswell. why? because id never leave Australia, and the warriors would do the most amount of travelling of all the teams.

Here's mine...

Best Player in the game
Pretty much Jonathon Thurston this season, so far. Individual talent. Agree with the players poll.

Biggest Sledger
Apparently it's Michael Ennis. We never get to hear what they actually say anyway. That Daine Laurie must be a good sledger, because everyone seems to want to hit him every week?

Most under-rated player
For mine, Bronson Harrison. He goes well in my fantasy league team anyway. Tongue always gets a wrap from the commentary teams.

Most over-rated player
Trent Barrett. Can pull off a blinder about once a year, but goes missing in games when his team really needs him - has done for his whole career. Big Willie has had an absolute fluff of a year, and has nothing left in his tank.
Best new talent
A bit biased perhaps, but Daniel Mortimer looks to be going OK thrust into first grade earlier than expected. I'm still not sure about Idris' longevity.

Club as a player you'd least like to join
Melbourne - too cold down there, league is a big second as well...

Best new talent
Nobody stands out - But from an Eels point of view - I love the way Timmy Mannah plays

Club the players would least like to join
Rabbitohs

 

[Marshall_magic]

Best Player in the game
Thurston
Dominates every game he plays. His team's fate depends entirely on his performance.

Biggest Sledger
Sailor
Outplays much more skillful players every week, I'd say he gets inside their heads. The Andrew Symonds of Rugby League (well not anymore lol)

Most under-rated player
Michael Gordon
Does what he has to every week, and gets no wraps. Incredible pace, and a very hand goal kicker. Positionally very good, and strong in defence.

Most over-rated player
Chris Sandow
Second year syndrome has struck him. Just isn't creating nearly as many chances anymore, and his defence is attrocious.

Best new talent
Antonio Winterstein
In a backline jam packed with superstars, he has made a very big impression. Scored loads of tries, and has held a spot down all year, despite strong competition.

Il add this one in too. For this answer, imagine your a player, and youve got all 16 NRL clubs chasing your signature. which club would you least like to go to?

Club the players would least like to join
Raiders
Wouldn't want to live in Canberra, plus you get no love from rep selectors.

I don't have an opinion.

Most under-rated player
Preston Campbell - Arguably one of the best players to not play origin

Most over-rated player
Any NSW second rower that gets picked ahead of Nathan Hindmarsh i'll consider to be over-rated.

Best new talent
I've enjoyed watching the power of Jamal Idris, the broken play of Josh Dugan, the pure speed of that gem Kevin Gordon, the high quality finishing of Antonio Winterstein, but to be honest my favourite is this young bloke Blake Ayshford, I reckon he'll go real good over the next few seasons.

I'll add this one in too. For this answer, imagine your a player, and youve got all 16 NRL clubs chasing your signature. which club would you least like to go to?

Parramatta

Nathan Hindmarsh - if I was a club and I could have one player it would be this bloke - does so much work best NRL player and I hate Parra

Biggest Sledger
Micheal PEnnis

Most under-rated player
Andrew Ryan - previously mayby not but he seems forgotten when he has lead the dogs to an awesome year despite having a fairly average pack on paper

Most over-rated player

Big Dell

Most under-rated player

I would have said Matt Scott, but he's at least been noticed by the selectors now and most fans seem to agree he is a huge tallent so ill go with Aaron Payne.

Most over-rated player

Robbie Farah & Kurt Gidley - both hailed as superstars who were going to really trouble the Maroons, both were sh*t.

Best new talent

Steve Rapira & James Tamou - I just wish we could see them both in the 17 every week instead of only one at a time.

in Canberra you get no love from rep selectors.

..which is one of the main issues facing the game at the moment.

But anyway,

Ashley Harrison - I know he plays for QLD, but somehow he hardly ever gets mentioned much during the NRL season and come Test selection time.

Most over-rated Player
Kurt Gidley for sure -- how the hell is he NSW captain? Worst Origin captain ever, that's for sure.

Gotta go with Canberra

I'm gonna make my own section, it being Club Most Like to Join, (Apart from Your Own)
And that goes to.... Melbourne. Although I hate them, it would be good being in a successful team away from the constant scrutiny of the media.
