How does that compare to last year?
Dalton won last year and it was less of a competition. 5 times he was voted the best player in a match
18 players got points last year (by finishing in the top 3), this year 23 players got points
Loose Forwards were popular again
Not a surprise given the strength of the loosies. 8 times a loose forward was voted player of the match
Sotutu and Papali'i finish first and second. Robinson and Ioane both feature in the top half despite missing so many games
Who was unlucky?
Eklund & Mark Telea both had strong seasons but often finished just outside the top 3
If there was a vote across the whole season I suspect Rieko Ioane would finish higher than 5th

@Duluth did you do total votes?
Appreciate week to week the number of voters can fluctuate, but could give an overall picture of who was voted for consistently, assume it would be fairly similar to that table still, but some of the consistent performers (such as Eklund & Telea) who werent standouts might move up?
-
That sounds like too much work
I suspect it would be similar.. although I think Dalton might finish on top
-
@Duluth haha yea it'd be going through each of the results copying/pasting data into a spreadsheet and collating it from there...I did it one time for Northland years ago and IIRC it did move a few in the middle about, but the top didnt change.
-
Fuck it, I'm counting it up now. I think it might change a few positions
I'll update the table soon
-
Updated the original table with a 'Total Votes' column
Ofa would jump a few places. Robinson & Akira go up, Romano & Sullivan down etc but mostly the same
