It works for the Aussies because most teams have multiple players who pick up points in the voting. Here we’ve got stuck in a rut of Huddersfield win, so it’s 3 points for Sezer, Cas win and it’s 3 points for McShane. Who else on those two sides is going to stop those two guys picking up regular points? Last season Hastings said he felt Lomax had out performed him and whilst I didn’t really agree, it was a landslide for Hastings because if Salford won, he’d get 3 points more often than not. Saints win and Lomax may get 3 but then so could Roby, so could Coote, Walmsley, Thompson etc.

It just doesn’t work in superleague IMO.

thats because there isnt a bit gulf between the aussie teams in terms of class

I thought that too so why is Bevan French on a 5 man short list when he’s 10th on the points list and Sam Tomkins not on the shortlist when he’s 5th?

Its been Alex Walmsley according to some

In fairness he’s a player that proves the argument that the system is totally flawed. He’s been in the top five without any shadow of a doubt yet isn’t nominated. He isn’t nominated because Saints have the best player in superleague in every position according to some guys on RedVee, so he can’t possibly get enough points as they’ll be shared around that team of legends.

Ok the last bit was a joke but the point stands.

I agree with what you said although I don’t think French has even been our best player, he does exiting things nobody else in the league does but for me Farrell has been our best player and I think Walmsley has probably been the best player in the league imo.

I think that would be my top 3 and it could be in any order (although I think French has added something a bit special to our side that nobody else in the league has to their teams) but I think we’ll see Sezer win it, McShane 2nd and then probably Faz 3rd looking at the points before it went behind closed doors.

It sort of sums up how the whole game is run. It’s like a primary school sports day wanting to give everyone a chance.

Farrell has made more metres than Walmsley, double the number of tackles and marker tackles this season. Don't think Walmsley is MOS this year (as good as he is).

Yeah that confused me. I presumed it was because of the points being hidden recently and he has shot up the table

Sucks for Sam if he's missed out through Catalans not having as many games

Surely James Roby will win it?

It’s on a points per game average.

Because that table is from weeks ago, they stop updating it a few weeks/months before the season end so it’s a secret, French has finished the season strong and must have made his way into the top 5.

So just as I said then?

Ahh fair enough cheers
