And yes id rather they symbolically didnt even award it this year
The days of those players are long gone. TBF Lane did used to be a threat running good lines in a semi decent side he was a try threat. He got a load of stick for not doing the graft (warranted at the time) and has really put the effort in this year. Hopefully in a better attacking structure he might offer more again with the ball.
I don’t know who decides the POTY award but the decision has been made, they obviously think he deserves the recognition, why not just respect it. There’s not exactly loads of stand outs. Put a gun to my head I’d have said 1)Herman 2)Martin and 3) Lane so don’t think it’s really a controversial decision at all. Those 3 are the ones that have done the minutes and topped most of the stats, it’s been one of those seasons.
