I don't get how people say he didn't deserve it. He's probably the only one you could say has fully earned it. It's amazing he got votes considering how many people don't rate him. Others in the past have got votes purely because of their name. I remember Thurston polling random votes last year when he didn't do **** in the game. You know Orford deserved his votes though because of the excess criticism he cops.
He isn't the greatest player in the world, but he's comfortably the best halfback we've had since Toovey, and I think the results we've had since he's been here proves that.
