Rookie of the Year 2012

[watatank]

Dragons- Cameron King would be the main contender, Jack De Belin is another.

I watched Korbin a lot in the NSW Cup last year, not convinced he's better than Tariq. That's a massive call.

Your biggest problem with that is he didn't play NSW cup last year.

He was a fair to good NYC player last year and trained with firstgrade this year.
His first trial game he outshone a very fit and motivated Daine Laurie to get the nod to play on the extended bench in the second trial. The team for the second trial is the Knights full strength side with a 10 man bench.
He has taken a big step up after training with firstgrade.

Hurrell looks the goods. Korbin Sims youngest brother of Ashton & Tariq Dont know if he will get a start 2012 but has more talent than his bros.

No way!!

Tariq dominated the 20's and transitioned his game into the NRL perfectly.

Korbin has talent and played well in the 20's but he wasn't even the best player on his team.

 

[watatank]

Korbin will be the same age Tariq was when he got player of the year in NYC so probably the best time to make any comparisons. If he plays NRL he'll already be ahead.

Korbin will probably play NYC again this year, and should dominate.

I thought that if a player debuted more than a season ago they are ineligible?

I was of the impression that to be ineligible you could have no more than 5 games in the preceding season and none before that?

King played one game in 2010 according to his wiki and De Belin I think played more than 5 last year?

I thought the rule was three games or less, regardless of year?

Both fit under that criteria

 

[Big Pete]

watatank is correct.

 

[some11]

Hurrell or Moga.

 

[Cloudsurfer]

Mahe Fonua

:lol:

It all makes sense now. Dugan was wearing headgear in 2009.....

 

[Raider_69]

Will almost certainly be C.King imo

but for the raiders, 4 weeks ago, id have said our best chance was McIllwrick but given our depth out wide the pre season reports on Jack Wighton. He'd be our best chance, This club has shown over the years they dont mind going with a hot hand out wide based on trials.

Dugan, Robinson, Croker, Berrigan and Fergo are our best right now. Robinson is solid but by no means safe in the team, and a spot opens up if Furner decides Berrigan is going to play hooker. Wighton is a tremendous young talent who could see a lot of playing time.

 

[LazyDreamer]

Wighton is a kid with a level head, too, which should help him make the transition.

 

[Noa]

Kenny Bromwich or Tohu Harris for the Storm.

Kenny Bromwich or Tohu Harris for the Storm.

Over Fonua?

 

[Noa]

Over Fonua?

Theyre more likely to get more games. Plus Im not sold on Mahe as a back in the top grade, Imo the backrow is where his future lies.

Hahahahahaha :lol:

Getting mixed up with the O'donnell boys and Sims brothers.

My bad

 

[eozsmiles]

How do they decide who wins? Is it the player with the most Dally M points or do judges decide?

 

[wittyfan]

It will have to be Matty McIlwrick for sure!!!
