not a bad shout, for mine it is nikora

will was outstanding at the start of last season, then got hurt

nikora was dreadful for an entire season and should be top of the dally m's right now
Unfair to say he was dreadful all last year, started to pick up back end.

I reckon Nikora was stronge defensively last year, but this year he is strong in attack also.

But yeah I’d agree, Nikora most improved.

Will is probably no better in either facet of the game. He is playing really well, but until I see him make a few try saving tackles, he won’t be most improved.

Thought he did alot of the hard work out of own end last year as well.
This year he's just done the same but also gotten back to his good attacking footy.

what tackle has will missed this year that has directly been responsible for a try?
Id argue the first 2 against Parra
Terrible 1:1 attempt on RCG followed by his poor attempted cover tackle on both Blake & Sivo for the latters first try

That's a terrible call mate
I don't think it is, i think its spot on

Hes 3rd man in on RCG, whose broke through 2 tackles and isnt at full speed - Kennedy makes no impact on him, doesnr even go for the ball to smother it.

And then with the Sivo try hes going across in defence, has plenty of time to make an effective tackle - either to stop them 1:1 with a legs tackle, or make enough of an impact to slow the ball carrier down to allow rest of cover defence to get there - yet he does neither, and slaps at thin air

As I've said before, the only fullbacks with any remote hope of stopping RCG in that situation would be Trell, Turbo, Ted and maybe Gutho. And guess what? Three of those guys earn more than double what Will is on.

If you actually believe that this is what happened, there is nothing anyone can say that would change your mind on Kennedy.
