All mums effect head spaces, they are hard work.

Especially when it comes to high grade. Now that shes taken the lock off my door, she shuts it down every time.

Fair call , just wonder whether it effects his game at times with stuff going on in the background at home that nobody knows about .

It almost certainly does affect him at times but chalking up every good or bad game to mums behaviour for the week is overly simplistic and not based on anything you actually know anything about (most times)

4 rounds in and he sits atop of the Dally M leaderboard, that surprises me.

He is 4th in @CrazyMatt 3-2-1 leaderboard and probably will be even lower after this weeks count

Not saying he has been bad (except for last week, he has been pretty good)

Just surprised his top of the dally m
Shows (at this early stage) that no one has been consistently good every week to have jumped him. He only scored points from 2 matches and still sits on top!

They'll probably autocorrect against him now, after all getting scolded for weird voting.
Perhaps unlucky not to have snagged 1 or 2 from this game, given how favourably big name spine players are viewed. And he did play well.

Maybe
But they shouldn’t
Look at the overrated winner form last year!!
😉

I do believe SJ was the more deserving player last season

This is how it should be..

A lot of people are probably still in the honeymoon phase with Hynes

Maybe Dally Ms mean ****all?
I think they don’t count for much when you consider Ponga won it missing half the season last year. Cleary misses a few games it’s not as easy for him to catch up because Penrith have so many other good players who can take the points

Good player in an average team has an advantage. You have to go back to 2017 when Smith won it to find the last dally m from the minor premiers.

RLPA awards much better imo, players treat it seriously and it doesn't turn into a popularity contest

That's where you ask what exactly is the award 'best player in the NRL' or MVP.
If Knights killed it whenever they had KP but Clearly was great but didn't shine as much because of the strong team around him KP arguably is 'most valuable'

A star dragging along a mediocre team is definitely advantaged to win it, which is fine if we look at it as 'mvp', I think.
Then there is just the issue of too commonly questionable scoring...

That’s a fair point but I think it’s always been considered as best and fairest award. For me the best player is the player who turns up and delivers at the highest level, the most consistently. I think a rating system of 1-10 by match for each player would be a better way to do it. There should be a cut off (I.e. player has to of played 80% of matches) and then you give it to the player with the highest average rating.

They could do that. Pick 10 analysts and require at least 8 of them to watch each game. Whichever of the 8-10 rate it get their rankings averaged and that is the players score for that round.

Highest rated player for 80%+ games (or whatever the cut off is) wins.

Put some guidelines in place. If a dude subs on for 5 minutes (or gets hurt early) and barely does anything is that a 5? A 1? A 1-3 depending on just how little they do?
What is a realistic rating for someone like Tuks who comes on for 10ish but is able to do a lot?
Etc
Just get everyone on roughly same page how they are assessing things other than 60+ minute players.

Maybe you have to play 80% of season but you also lose 1% off your final score for every game you miss because someone who plays more should be more likely to win?

The way they have it at the moment generates an MVP which is fine if everyone treats it as such.
