Most Improved/Gone Backwards

[The.X.Factor9]

But the point still stands that Shillington was not the best prop in the State of Origin series.

 

[dogslife]

Do you want me to just admit that David Shillington was the best prop in State of Origin this year? Will that make everything right?

Well I won't do it, I don't live in make believe land with the rest of the Canberra supporters, I wish I did, sounds like an amazing place, where things come true if you wish hard enough

Shillo is the best prop in the universe.......and any parallel universe we may have.

Look at hitups f**kstick that's what we're talking about

lol! Love it when people resort to debating semantics.

Oh look, in Game 3 GI made 212 Metres from...... wait for it..... 0 hitups!

Amazing!

After last Saturday...the entire Storm team took a massive leap back in time to 2002.

A pathetic effort and they deserved to have a mass exodus of fans 15 minutes from full time.

No Smith and Slater doesn't help but that shouldn't mean the rest decide to play like Parramatta.

:lol: Not really. That was never my point.

That was Skeepe's point, that's what I was arguing.

I wish Skeepe were here to read it though, he's more than likely in the game day forum ruining the Sharks vs Roosters thread

6 props on the list, not one of them is Shillington

 

[Big Pete]

:lol: What a dud list.

James Graham @ 19? Yeah, maybe bench players but actual players? Get stuffed.

Shillo was very good this series. Wouldn't say he was absolutely the best but he was good.

If it wasn't skeepe, most of you wouldn't have a problem.

Well it's interesting that is says this in the article:

The top 50 includes five Dally M medal winners, all 17 Kangaroos players involved in this year's Australia-New Zealand Test, plus six New Zealand internationals and four England internationals. Thirty players in the list have played in this year's State of Origin series, 15 from each state.

Considering David Shillington was a starting prop for Australia and all.

Well if we're going purely off the stats which Skeepe loves, James Graham would be near the top of the league, starters included. Skeepe seems to think Shillington was the best prop in SOO this year, that's what I have a problem with

Shillington is obviously forgettable, my only conclusion

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Just shows how good Campo is. Doesn't even have to play for two years to make the list.

You've convinced me!

See kids, persistence pays off

Yeah gun!

I don't agree with Shillington going backwards, but I do with Dugan, TLL and Croker. IMO, injuries aside, Dugan has been awful this year. Believes too much of his own press and with the emergence of Robinson, I don't think I'd be too upset by our highest paid player finding greener pastures and spending half the season on the sidelines injured for another team.

Fergo and Robinson are the bg improvers for mine. Shillo has always been quality IMO. It dates back to his bomb for a classic Dugan try.

 

[MacDougall]

I'd throw Liam Fulton and Robbie Farah in there too.
Tuqiri was crap last year

Lawrence and Ayshford have been f**ked around by the coach all year.

Last weekend they were both very good. Of the 15 games they've both played together this year, they've been paired in the centres 7 times. Both have been stupidly made to play as five-eighth. Lawrence was playing as a second rower for much of the first 6 or so games when Reddy came on the field.

Benji was going well until the dumb f**k coach moved him to halfback and made him focus entirely on passing and kicking and not on his strong point, running at the line.

Hino busts his arse every time but has been producing poor quality for 2 years now.

Blair is a lazy f**king thief who doesn't deserve $5 a year.

Still all gone backwards though. Maybe even further backwards in some cases.

 

[effnic]

Cherry evan has gone slightly backwards but thats the only way you can go
After a 100% perfect year.

 

[wittyfan]

Slightly? Very generous effie.
