Showed why he is our future captain. Busted his arse of to try and get us back in the game.

Not going to bag his kicking. He's not a kicker but is left with with no other option because of our lack of halves.

Nice settling touch finder to finish off though

That's a result

Yeah i think he'll be happy to put his kicking boots away next season.

Is there a kangaroo tour or anything at the end of the season because he'd have to be a big chance - unless josh jackson and trent merrin are still considered better than him..

Busted his arse tonight. One of very few that can hold his head high.

His kicking isn't a strength, but the fact we rely on his kicking is the teams problem. Not his.

Best players through the finals series for us, no doubt. Can't wait for him to take over the captaincy.

I hope he works on the kicking. He's got the right idea more often than not just over cooks them a bit. If he could find his touch and get the right purchase on them he's a ****ing weapon.

No Roo's matches this year anymore ANZAC test was first & last. All the regulars decided they wanted a break. Why that doesn't mean we just pick the next inline who is dying to get a jersey I have no idea.

If he's to do any kicking duties next year, needs to lay off the leg press.

I think its a fatigue thing. Most of the did kicks come late in the half.

Our best player and has ...t in him. It's a shame some of our other forwards just didn't aim up. Why wouldn't you be saying to Tagatese, ill give you two penalties, smash matt scott as high and as hard as you can, and hit Thurston late and as hard as you can, Tags plays 20 mins tops, your trying to win a final against a better side ability wise. Old forwards with no mongrel that's what let us down badly.

I'm baffled he didn't win the 2nd rower of the year last night. Josh Jackson, seriously? Wade led the Dally M points for 2nd rowers with 13, Jackson received 6.

Jackson is a media darling for some unknown reason. Totally ineffectual at Origin level yet gets picked.

**** I didn't know that. Makes the Jackson selection even more confusing ? To be honest not sure how James Roberts got it either, or Blake Austin.

Seems to be the popular media choices a lot.

Thats exactly what it was.

Deserved or not, JT was always going to win it, they have been sucking him off since round 1, when they were beaten. Its just the way it is. That being said, he did deserve it. Maybe not by a landslide but anyway.

It is what it is, they say its the 'highest honour' in the game to win that award, or an award on the night. Now obviously as a sports star, any trophy is going to be an achievement, but surely having a whole night dedicated to a few peoples opinions isnt that satisfying is it?
