She might be excited by your 'wall of rods'.
Well not everyone has one of those do they????

Lure her with your tackle ....
Leilua centre of the year? Are they serious? The games I saw him play he had shockers and was very ill disciplined.
I'd have thought Latrell Mitchell would be over him.
Some of the awards shows it wasn't a vintage year....Jackson, leilua, brooks nearly taking out the whole gong???!!!
Very average.
Happy for RTS though and that Haka tribute brought a tear to my eye. Great stuff.

Talk about bait...then switch!
Anyway, looking through the judges for each round of the DM's, I saw at least 4 times when Manly had a long serving player from the opposite team as the judge. EG: steve roach for manly v tigers.
Ok, difference made.... I dunno. Happen to other teams... I dunno
But it gives us something to talk about besides someone's rods and fly lines (and worms).
I don’t do “ fly fishing”......but worms are good!!
Lures of course are interesting discussion points , which colours work ( and don’t ).

Judges had to give their 3.2.1. On best players then one point for each of the best position. Teams like Nulla and St George would have had positions share points (best second row at St George for example) so players like Leilua who would have had little competition to get points.

I agree, definitely in the top three of worst ever - No, I can't list the other two!
I get what he was trying to do but geez, it was awful, some of it could have been funny if he could've delivered it.
The rest of it from what I saw was rather cringeworthy too.
Jess even seemed off the mark, maybe she's got her eye on Bathurst already.
Mal was uninspiring as usual, Greenturd was, well Greenturd so no surprise there.
Whoever decided to save the team of the year until the end needs a new job. It made the actual presenting of the Dally M medal anti-climactic as the presenter
walked out with both the fullback award and the medal. WTF?
They can count their lucky stars that Isaac Luke saved the night, that was awesome.
Special mention to Mitch Pearce, missed eight weeks yet still polled 23 points - great effort.
But Leilua!, I'm with @manlywarringah , his ill-discipline was the difference in a cpl Raiders defeats imo.

The player of the year automatically wins his position of the year - so RTS was the Dally M medalist and FB
Teams like Manly always have multiple good players who then take points off each other .
Brooks was all on his own and thus got the award

Then the voting system is somewhat flawed isn’t it????
Like when Tom set a record 194 points for that supercoach thing, yet Girdler didn't even give him one vote...
There needs to be more than one judge, and they then take the points as an average to work out 3,2,1.
We have multiple good players do we? Now, that's a funny one ..........The player of the year automatically wins his position of the year - so RTS was the Dally M medalist and FB

Didn't help in the SOO Slater fiasco.
They need a statistician to devise a weighting scheme.
Brooks highlights the obvious, a Team with one star player will mean that he gets the max each game.
Turbo, Api, Chez, Jake, Kapow are always up for a score, so the different Judges at each game will naturally disperse their votes 😕
Basuc adjustment would be to weight points by minutes played each year.
Jake plays 80 minutes for 24 rounds but Taumololo does half the minutes yet ges the award

I know that but they used to do the positional awards scattered throughout the night so if say RTS was fullback of the year we wouldn't automatically assume he's won the big prize, especially with Ponga and Holmes in the mix.
To me it was anti-climactic to the main award doing it like they did.
Also in previous years, it wasn't necessarily the player with the most points that won their corresponding positional award which seemed weird so they changed it to this system.
No system is perfect but with Latrell Mitchell playing in a team with Tedesco, Fergo, Keary, Friend etc getting points doesn't mean he shouldn't be regarded as the best centre because he didn't get as many points as Leilua did playing in an erratic team.
Interesting that the teams in the top 4 didn't really threaten the points as they share it around more and rarely does a player in a beaten side get more than 1pt no matter how well they played or
how close the game was.
Look at the Knights - Ponga 27, Pearce 23 and their next best was Saifiti on 4 pts - when the Knights won these two obviously got the points regardless.

Pearce was out for a few months so it helped Ponga accumulate his points.
This is why it's skewed and multiplying the points with minutes played and number of games, is a simple step to help correct it
how slater didn't win it is beyond me!
