NRL 2018

Nice work RTS. Inspirational stuff and could have easily have won captain of the year too.
Fusitua for me was the winger of the year not only the try scorer.
Tevaga is a very good bench player but given his penchant for loose carries and penalties I was surprised he won.
-
Good night for the Warriors. Fusitua definitely unlucky not to get best winger, but as much as I’m not a fan, Ferguson did have a damn good year.
RTS held the emotions in well during the haka from Luke, Tevaga and Rapana.

Hell I didnt! Got a tad emotional when they cranked that out for him

It was also obvious to all the Aussie media that RTS was in sublime form for much of the season, not only on attack but more importantly on defence. There would have been controversy if his two main rivals in the points system won because Kalyn Ponga and Luke Brooks weren't on the same level as RTS this season.
It should have been:
- RTS (Warriors)
- Nathan Cleary (Panthers)
- Damian Cook (Bunnies)
-
Ponga was good but I think there was far too much love (and hype) for him this year. I like the kid but I did see a couple of comments in the media saying ‘what if’ because he got injured.
-
The biggest surprise is people acting surprised he got off , he was never going to miss for that , not a grand final,
When did anyone miss a grand final in nrl or afl in recent times ?
Think you have to actually kill someone .

@canefan Cam Smith in 2008 too.😉
However the point stands that, the NRL willingly push aside principles of the game for entertainment value of late
It's always been this way. Just look at the stuff players used to get away with in Origin. The only people who get the book thrown at them are the Kiwis

Grand Final day and the Roosters are going to wait until one hour before kick off before deciding whether to play Cronk or not. My guess is he will start on the bench and sub Mitchell Aubusson (a secondrower playing at halfback) at some point in the second half if the Roosters fall behind.
My GF prediction: Storm win 20-8 and Billy Slater is named MVP.

Most Valuable Person Ever.

Cronk , usually a strong defender for a half , likes to defend up in the line ,
Crook shoulder , going to be difficult to hide him , if he plays expect plenty of runners to be going straight at him .
