Mid season Dally M predictions

[Whino]

I went on YouTube looking for Sam Thaiday's (shitty) stand-up routine and found this video - thought it was pertinent to share:

I don't need to see that after having lunch.

Yes they do. It always throws up odd winners as how often do you see a center or winger get Dally M points? So someone might win it getting 6/7 points. It’s not surprising someone like BJ wins it as he might have 3 good games a year, yet those games will be amazing and get him 9 points. Then we’re meant to forget the 20 shockers he had.

It’s obvioualy not perfect (how Pearce can come 5th after missing 10 games is a farce) but no matter what way you tally it up people will always whinge about something.

I think it’s fine for the positional awards to be judged by the overall score IF everyone gets a rating out of 10. Otherwise you get the ridiculous result you mentioned.

The positional awards have always been a crapshot.

Sam Kasiano won Prop of the Year in 2012 when he had about a million less meters and hit ups then James Tamou

The fact TTurbo didn’t get any points against the Titans is indicative of the quality of judges.

Cheers, and a couple that I probably should've gotten. I'd argue TPJ had a better year at 2nd row than Jackson, same with Latrell over Leilua

I could name a dozen second rowers who were better than Jacko. Both of ours certainly.

One thing I find humorous... Jackson gets dropped from Origin because he’s not that level of a player. BJL has two ordinary years in a row from being everyone’s Smokey for Origin to being probably tagged never to play Origin... Derpuson who has dropped the ball more often than he has had finger vag and is also axed from Origin gets winger of the year.... and somehow some way Luke god damn Brooks nearly wins the granddaddy of them all.. the system is broken to mergatroid and back.

Edit: I apologise, I misunderstood your post.

Fergod winning winger of the year was the shows one redeeming point.

An absolute monster, should play 7 against Melbourne.

(how Pearce can come 5th after missing 10 games is a farce)

Pearce played 15 games, winning 7 of them. He's a pretty fair yet somewhat limited club halfback (which is why he's not playing this Sunday), by no means better than about six or seven others, and never at any time was he a world beater this season. Getting more points than all but 4 of 450 or so NRL players demonstrates just how broken this award is.
