Carty threw a shocking intercept. But hes not a 5/8th. The Carige award needs to go to Griffin for trying to force him to become a half.

These are his stats outside of playmaking... and they are great for a second rower.

18 runs for 178m gained
29 tackles / 2 missed
1 try

Hes a great ball runner. He has a good offload. That should be his job. As long as he plays 6 he will look like the worst player on field most weeks.

Wade Graham is a skillful back rower, and has played some 5/8. But he really isn't a 5/8.

At the start of 2015 we lost the first 4 with him at 5/8, including from a terrible intercept he threw. He was replaced with rookie of the year Bird (who is no 5/8 either...) and now as a settled back rower for several seasons, he is showing his true ability and is in outstanding form.

Hopefully someone does this for Bryce soon so he too, can settle in and become an outstanding 2nd rower.

Must be a Griffin trademark. He played Hoffman at 6 for almost an entire season. Except he couldn't pass, offload or was particularly agile or exciting either.

That's what shits me.

He shifts a fullback (Hoffman) with no playmaking skills. But he has Moylan who is a fullback who struggles in general fullback duties but excels in playmaking duties and hasnt once tried him at 6 no matter how many injuries we get.

He's a f**king idiot. Why pick a 6 with playmaking ability when you can shift blokes with no clue their and ruin a few positiins all at once

this reminds me of the old "pumpkin awards" waz would give each week on nrl on fox
Ahhh, remember that show? Once a week, talked about actual footy and not speculating about contracts. No Daily Tele f**kwits to stink it up.
What a show! Bring it back.

RTS was one of 3 "senior players" who were disgraceful tonight. He, Hoffman and Thompson stunk. But RTS had the most Carige moments.

The only boxes Roger didnt tick for this to be one of the greats. Not a semi final, Not Blonde, Not wearing a Parra Jersey. Everything else was covered in spades.
