I felt sorry for Edwards, getting KO'd to give up crucial momentum was unlucky, but....
...it really was Carige-esque. It wasn't as big a moment, and there was more game to go and other players also contributed, but after losing the coach and leading vs the very fancied Storm, it was a poor few minutes from Edwards.
As a "weekly" award, just playing shit probably gets you on here. But really, Carige's efforts were so special for a number of reasons, and Edwards matched a few of them:
A big game? Check (not as big, but still important for their season)
Player really trying but being spectacularly stupid? Check (though Edwards' work rate is poor, I do think he is trying. He wasn't being lazy like Sue, just really dumb)
Player single handedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? This is the less Carige like effort- he did contribute greatly to important momentum swings, and the team could easily have won without his efforts, but there were others who also helped wreck the Tigers.
Still, as a weekly award, Edwards probably deserves a mention on this thread, even if it wasn't quite as single handedly destructive to his own team as Carige. But then, this is a special award for a reason, it will be difficult for anyone to top Carige.
Well done Edwards, early contender for the yearly award.
