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.

It is a "pastime" and point of discussion and I agree that its worth/ value is open to question
However --the one thing it is is a democratic opinion of all who take part - and as such I would offer is as credible as the press (as a group) or Stevo(as an individual) voting similarly for MOM
The post was a request for other posters opinion - either on the way it is carried out --or the results Yours are duly noted
I do not need any clarification thanks.
My point is that as a bit of yer fun its bob on. As an indicator of RL ability it is tosh.
On the thread subject itself. On his form this year BH could play Oz 1st grade. Robbo would struggle to get into their reserve grade sides.

And you have not a shred of evidence to back that up Marsdengiant, not one iota.
According to many, not a single english halfback would make the NRL reserves anyway, so whats the point?
Robbo has had a key part in our attack this season, yes at times its faultered, probably about as many times as Bret Hodgsons attacking skill has failed (I wonder if we count up how many times Hodgy and Robbo have bombed scoring passes who will have the most)
I think you have some sort of major chip on your shoulder against Robbo, and I dont know why.
But your implication so far is that no one else knows as much about RL as you.

I do not know why you have to make up things about my posts. I think robbo could make a decent 9 and have consistently said so. i have explained elsewhere why he falls well below a top quality 7. Because I disagree with you over Robbo does not mean I have a chip on my shoulder.
I have little idea what people on here know about RL and how that compares with my knowledge. Nor do I care about such a comparison.
If people want to pretend that Robbo is on a par with BH let them.

Maybe the fans voting on the above poll know more about RL than they are given credit for.

Just a note, fans that either didn't attend or view the game on TV or on-line did not vote on this poll.
Personally I can't see what all of the fuss is about, it's a bit of fun and that's it.

This forum is starting to read like ' you can only post on here if you know more about rl than anyone else' and to be honest it is a sure way to discourage others from posting.
It's about time some people start 'lightening up' and what's all this about providing proof and facts for peoples opinions knowing damn well that's what it is.
