Luckily, Wasaabi didn't put much on that headbutt.

Sorry, but we are in lockdown with a liquor ban and i'm bored.

Beer isn't technically liquor, hope that helps.

Thanks, but beer is banned too...and i'm not a beer drinker anyways.

Nope, one of many flaws in the Dally M system.

Origin games don't count, but in order to account for games origin players miss when on origin duty, only a player's "best" 21 matches where points were received are taken into account when determining the final dally m tally for each player. This is from the NRL website.

That's actually a very good solution that I was unaware of. Thanks for the tip.

Beer is good. This is the latest Health Advice from NSW Health.

still skewed in favour of non-origin players as they have more games in which to to score.
But does reduce the advantage somewhat

I've got a cache of Shiraz to get me through

I'd much prefer it if the signage was in Maroon and White rather than Doesn’tmatta colours

Shiraz is also good.

I'll dip into my grandfather port and some lovely rummy port I picked up at Mudgee

So if there is 25 games, a player doesn't score points in 5 of those games. Doesn't that just negate this rule anyway? For this rule to ever work a player would have to score Dally M points in 22 games or more. If a player is that good he'd be playing origin unless he's a kiwi. Either way I don't think this rule would have ever been applied. Correct me if I'm wrong

Every player is gonna have a zero or 3 across 24 games if they only scratch the lowest scores it's still an advantage to non origin players who get an extra opportunity to score points and push a zero out of their top 21 scores.

Sadly I had to give up drinking red when I moved here..mostly only low end stuff here. I did find a '87 St Hugo and a '90 Wynns Coonawarra Cab Sav about 4 years back for just under $100 each which i rationed as leanly as possible. I mostly drink Bundy brought over by travellers but am on the local poison since covid.

You're probably right. I'd say it's unlikely that a player has ever polled in more than 21 games, so it's probable that the rule has never been applied. But it's the rule nonetheless.

Luckily, Wasaabi didn't put much mustard on that headbutt.

Edit: I forgot to write "mustard"..which was the whole point of the joke"

Haven't you got the moonshine apparatus up and running yet??

If someone actually managed to get points in every game of the year, why should they lose points? The more I think about it the more silly the rule seems. Not sure why it irks me so much, Dally M is nice but premierships are the only thing that counts.

I had a quick look last week and from memory the highest points a winner has got was around 36-39 points with most years lower.
So really max points in 10 games plus a couple of minor points will win it
Go through our wins he’s played and surely he’s polled enough.

I do think they should get points from Origin - it’s meant to be the best of the best so any points earned are essentially harder to get and surely deserved.
Player of the series yet doesn’t count to Dally M seems odd to me.

Sorta thought this latest injury would go into this thread -

Anyway, very interesting. I'm happy to believe Tom when he says he is right, doesn't mean Ds doesn't think otherwise.

Bring on game day!!!
