Lockyer MOTM

[innsaneink]

Poor guy, clearly highly embarrassed about it, and then the prick announcer called him back to thank some more people, wasnt surprised to see he had tucked the medal under his jumper.
Never seen a team beaten by 14 before supply the MOTM.
What a joke.

 

[roopy]

He had a good game, but so did nearly every player in the Kiwi side.

I thought Jeremy Smith or Adam Blair was MOTM.

But yeh that was a bit embarrassing, then the 2nd time he got called up the announcer dude decided to tell him who he should thank...

 

[KHunt]

Adam Blair should've gotten it.

 

[8Ball]

He was easily Australia's best, and one of the best on ground. But yeah, there's something hollow about picking the MotM from the team which lost by 14.

 

[Brutus]

That announcer guy (Steve Allan) has weirdo eyes and fact they always get him to talk down the camera lens instead of talking to the crowd makes him look even more weirder.

 

[innsaneink]

Adam Blair should've gotten it.

Yeh, I went Blair or Rapira

 

[edabomb]

I thought it was a rort, who the heck judges it?? Hohaia made some huge plays.

 

[Robster]

how arrogant is it that a Australian gets MOTM? The Kiwis bloody destroyed the Kangaroos and strongly feel Sam Rapira, Benji Marshall, Jerome Ropati and more so Adam Blair deserve the award.

 

[shiznit]

Fien must have been close...

 

[Jono078]

Didn't they say Colin Love chose MOTM?

Deadset Lockyer is probably the only player he knows.

 

[African Monkey]

I think that it was an attempt to take theexcitement out of the Kiwis victory.

 

[edabomb]

Hahaha well it sure was in pretty bad spirits....

 

[JB]

Lockyer had a good first half but i thought the introduction of Rapira was probably the biggest influence on the game (apart from Slater and Monaghan of course). The Kiwi's we're still in first gear until he came on and showed them how to hit a ball up, and how to put on a hit. Rapira for mine.

If that is true, then it is a disgrace. Should be a panel of Australians and NZers.

 

[MKEB...]

I thought Faalongo and Rapira would have been close, even Marshall...not Lockyer though.

 

[bobbis]

Lockyer was easily the best for Australia, despite the loss he had a good game. He had a hand in all 20 of Australia's points. He definately looked embarressed receiving the award. He was one of the best on ground possibly not man of the match but he was right up there. Whereas NZ were superb across the park and as a team were better, Lockyer as an individual was still very good.

 

[8Ball]

Lockyer had a much better game than Marshall...

Should have gone to Rapira imo

 

[Tiger-lord 75]

Locky was all over Marshall.

He most probably was the best player on the ground, should have scored three tries and set up two as well. However when you lose like that then the MOM should come from the winning side.

 

[Mortar]

I heard ray warrren say that a panel of 4 people made up of a kiwi, a pom, an aussie and a png official selected the MOM.
