Whiddop probably stole most of Vaughan's potential points.
Woods would have probably got the Tigers' points nearly every week- partly because the judges probably don't even know the other players. He's the only "name" player in the team.
yea you just gotta stand out amongst a sea of turds if your team mates suck and even if your losing each week - still doesn't explain how opposition forwards wern't getting the votes over Woods every other week though and I'm not saying Woods stood out either.
He has some decent games at times but he no where near represents the NRL's best prop of 2017
The NRL is offloading thousands of free tickets to its non-Sydney grand final in a bid to fill the 83,000-capacity ANZ Stadium for Sunday's season-ending showdown.
With out-of-towners Melbourne and North Queensland contesting the decider, ticket sales have been much softer than usual, with the league turning to Sydney juniors as the answer to fleshing out the grand final crowd.
An NRL spokesperson strongly denied up to 20,000 tickets were being handed out, as some industry insiders suggested on Wednesday, claiming the figure was only a few thousand. In any event, the match is not expected to sell out.
South of the border, tickets to Saturday's AFL grand final between Richmond and Adelaide are virtually impossible to come by, the majority of which are split between club, MCC and AFL members.
About 100,000 fans are expected to pile into the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, following the 94,258 who watched Richmond beat GWS at the venue last weekend.
But the AFL has the luxury of a traditional Melbourne club in its grand final while the NRL has had just one Sydney team in its showpiece game since 2014.

I bought my tickets after we were through... Do they change how much they charge for these ones depending on who makes it?Here's a radical idea, make tickets affordable. I paid over $300 for mine last year. As if neutral fans are going to cough up that much.
Still sells out in super fast time regardless. Poor comparison.
