maybe so, but on the form of, say, the last 10 games he has been a stand out forward in the nrl

He must be doing something right then since he's one of the 5 nominated for Dally M 2nd rower of the year. Other nominations are Bateman, Kenny Bromwich, Ryan Matterson & Sam Burgess.

yeah that's how i see mau this season, he got better as it went on. list is good though i would have cordner in there instead of burgess who has missed quite a few games with injury and suspension

Almost as if AP knew

I think Sam has probably played more games than Cordner this year who's also been injured a fair bit this season.

Well it seems someone other than Pearson does Freddie,nominated in top 5 for Dally m second row.That'll do for me.

Dally M nominations above are based on the 2019 season. My ranking is based on his performances across all seasons played compared to other second rowers, so having watched him play in every match since he started in 2014 I stand by my opinion.

Surely you have to go on the current seasons form to determine how good a signing someone is?
If were going on career form we may as well stick with Ellis.

I guess the important point here is that his form is going in the right direction

Remarkably similar stats. Sam has played one more game, but I'm still favouring cordner as he steered his team into the GF, but tight call between the 2

We are doing BESTY

Thanks for that Freddie,I do respect your opinion but I will go with the Dally M one.

Looking forward to this one.
Even gave Purple Doors a miss last night to be compos mentis for this mornings action.
Roosters big fav's but had a flutter on Canberra at 23/10..

Good to see one of our academy products in a grand final
