@mariner4life lol great write up
I do think you have nailed it and, but some honorable mentions for who could have been close, Will have a think about some tries and hits
What the fuck was that result of the year?
Cowboys putting 74 on West Tigers turning their season around after getting flogged by the same team only 3-4 weeks prior
Tigers beating PenrithBust of the year?
Two of the previous best second rowers in Bateman and Papali'i, Tigers killed their talent.
Most of the Roosters - will include Manu and Teddy who went backwards, but Cheese never turned upCoach of the year?
Supercoach Wayne - no one predicted his team would start so well with the talent he had, they batted well above their weight for long into the seasonBiggest fuckwit
Luai by a country mile in terms of players on the field.
Off the field Sticky continues to be a protected species although one of his supporters also deserves a mention...looking at you Paul Kent, Karma is a biatch sometimes -
good options
TBF we all should have seen the Dolphins winning week 1. Wayne gets a group together for an occasion like no other.
Oh those WTF results are good ones as well.Yeeeah fuck you Paul Kent.

Speak for your's and @mariner4life's selves.
Although Wayne is getting a bit soft in his old age, no one as fat as Te Whare would ever get a start in his old Broncos and St George teams. How does a guy get fatter as the season goes on? Even in his fattest year Piri lost weight as the season went on.

Teddy who went backwards
I wasn't concentrating on the Roosters too much so was genuinely shocked to see how bad he is now when I watched a few of their games in a row.
It was a good year for NZ wingers (aside from Rapana), with Isaako, DWZ and Mulitalo all running in lots of tries. Even the new boy Warbrick had a decent try tally.

Looks like a block of cheese

Seriously, this is a prelim
Penrith are making this look like a game against a reserve grade side
How are they, for the 3rd year in a row, this much better, bigger, fitter, and faster then everyone

Storms pack has been found wanting in big games this year, it was similar against Brisbane .
But Penrith are a great side , still more success left in them yet by the looks, should go down as one of the all time great sides when they are finished.
-
Lol I don't think people realize how far ahead Penrith and Brisbane are from the rest. Both teams are gonna dominate the rest of this decade.
-
At the same time, the Warriors aren't completely out of it. Brisbane's edge defence is wonky.
-
DWZ can certainly score tries but often makes the wrong call on defence with two tries scored with bad reads,
Not blaming him though, offloads killing us and Pompey’s kicking has not helped.
Surprisingly we are still in this and are not out of it yet.
Was going to say how quick is Walsh?, but Haas at pace was awesome!
Still hope, but we will need to kick our conversions from here out
