MVP: 2021 Silvertails MVP Final Tally

[globaleagle]

It would be very interesting.
My guess is that we'd use exactly the same method (our subjective observations) but they would be skewed very heavily to the last few matches that we can actually remember or else disproportionately weighted due to some outstanding feat that sticks in our memory.

The value of the MVP is that the ratings are given at the time of each game, so early season performance is still recognised.

Still, like any 3-2-1 system, it's pretty hard for a goal-kicking winger to make an impression. He'd pretty much have to score 3 tries or win the game with his goals.

Meh...

what does bearfax think??

Trump didn't win?

Must have been rigged.....

Firstly, apologies for not updating the last few weeks with who got the points in each round. Due to work and a few other factors I've only just gotten around to tallying points from Rd 23 onwards. Think of it akin to the Dally M votes going behind closed doors for the last few rounds

I don't think anyone will be too shocked at the result this year. Claiming his first Silvertails MVP is:

Tom Trbojevic

Dally Cherry-Evans was in 2nd place and Kieran Foran and Taniela Paseka finished tied in third place. Ther final tally is below:

Turbo	32​
DCE	23​
Foz	11.5​
Tent	11.5​
Jake	11​
Harper	10​
Guacamole	8​
Aloiai	7.5​
Sandwich	7​
Shoe	6.5​
Kapow	6​
Keppie	6​
Walker	5​
Saab	4​
Froggy	4​
Davey	3​
Suli	3​
Lawton	2​
Cust	1​
Sippers	1​

Turbo becomes the fifth player to take home the prestigious award in it's nine year history (have I really been tallying these votes for 9 years???).

Thank you to everyone who voted through the year!

Thanks @mosto and also for the time you spend correlating all our numbnuttery as woodsie would say.
I enjoy doing the 3 2 1, it isn't till you stop to think about the points to give you realise how close and difficult it sometimes is and at others the wide chasms who actually earnt them. I also enjoy reading what others thought as it is often very different even though it's the same game.

Without your efforts none of that would be possible so thankyou very much.
Cheers

Thanks @mosto - I really enjoy the different views on MVP each week...

Interesting that we give 3-2-1 to Manly players each week (not just the wins) and yet Turbo still couldn't match his Dally M score!! lol

Goes to show that we are a bunch of hard markers here on ST....

Yeah we're hard markers.

I can't speak for others, but I know I am guilty of sometimes giving a 3 or a 2 to a player who played out of his skin even though say, Turbo probably played better in a particular game and has a higher ceiling.
Thats my bug to bare.

Was going to say the same thing. But also that the media are a bit focussed on Tom, perhaps rightfully so, and end up missing the others who contribute.

Well done @mosto This is an outstanding contribution!!!

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Thanks @mosto great job!

 

[nightster]

yea

It's interesting to go through for sure.

Harper - with all that strapping on his leg, I think his off season couldn't come soon enough. I'm still a fan.

Then you see him outpolling saab - who scored a try or 20 and think really? Then we see Rueben, highest nrl point scorer this year and... you'd think he'd be higher but....?

@nightster "sandwich" is Ruben Garrick - unless you were just questioning his position, then fair 'nuff.

So yup... interesting for sure.

It'd also be interesting now... how we'd rank our players performance this year. But that's an argument for another day. lol

h I would have had him just after Jake ... Lionel Niven was outstanding early on in the season
