Unfortunately it doesn’t go to the best player in the world which everyone knows who that is.

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Yes, that is a real shame. It significantly devalues the award IMO, meaning that it could now be regarded as a bit of a 'mickey mouse' award.

SST's value will skyrocket after he wins this. I hope we get his sig soon on a 4-5 yr extension.

Chook.

3 years is good. I don’t think anyone should be signed for longer than this.

[TheLoneRooster]

How fitting that all the three of the shortlisted players have Roosters connections: two as current players and one ex-player. What a club!

Good luck to both JWH and SST and no offence to RTS.

[Hawkeye]

Lets hope JWH doesn't get told he is going to win the award, then at the last minute they give it to someone else !

SST would have to be the favourite given Tonga's achievements.

Just reward for an often overlooked player.

[stringaz]

Roosters overlooked again, add it to the wighton cherry Evans list of trophies to the losers. Don't know how you could have gone past taukeiaho for this one

Wow. Apparently NZ beating a team that PNG beat is a bigger result than Tonga beating Aus. Tauks was huge in their victories this year.

[crikey chris]

So RTS is apparently the best player in the world lol.

Shit criteria in how this is worked out. Joke that Teddy didn't win last year, or even make the final three this year. No disrespect to SST or Jared.

A new award needs to be added, for the "real" best player on the planet.

[Bruce Pickett]

SST should've got that. Great games for Tonga and Easts.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Who judges this farce?

Please don't say Sean Garlic, Darren Lockyer and Gordon Tallis..

[Spirit of 66]

I felt sure that Tommy Makinson would go back to back. What a player! (Or, as I asked last year... What player?)
