The players who got points had an eyecatching (positive) impact in the games they were in, but as individuals not team players.
Take Wild for example, 5 points but probably the first name on the teamsheet for many of us.
I dont know what your point is really MG to be honest, apart from griping
Thatb is the key point. Eyecatching performances tend to get votes. As most fans remember the good things ie tries and breaks they catch peoples attention and get the votes.
People rarely remember those that do the donkey work who often are more deserving of the points.
I cannot remember who said , Forwards win matches , backs make the score look good'.
In reality you would always give the p[oints to the forwards but as it is a bit of fun, by those who attend the games it shows who as an indavidual has looked good in a particular game.
That is why winning the MOS is a real honour for Brett as no one knows better than the players. To win an award from your peers is the pinnacle.
