Nope, I’d agree that Herman was our best player by a long way. I do think though that anyone who thinks A) Herman will care that he’s not won it and it’s some kind of injustice and B) Feels the need to comment on said injustice on the clubs social media posts absolutely needs to get a life.

Like you say the coaching staff likely pick the award. They think Lane deserves it. I don’t agree but don’t really care. If Lane really is as terrible as some on here and the Facebook warriors would have us believe then one of the worlds most experienced coaches simply won’t pick him will he? I’m not even a fan of his, but we’ve had an absolutely woeful season with no organisation on the field and offered absolutely no creativity in attack. Hardly a surprise that the top tackler and player who put in the most minutes has won an award.

It's immaterial but Grix has picked Lane as the player of the season ahead of Herman. It started as a farce and ended in a comedy.

More importantly how's mad monday going.

The award that means the most is the players player of the year, the one voted for by the people who really value what someone does for the team

I'd heard a few players had to cancel travel plans when the catalans game was rescheduled

What a shame, maybe next year they could you know make plans for after the Grand Final and actually do their jobs in August and September
