NRL Dope of the Year

[Old Man Rooster]

He's a star and just getting started.

Which reminds me; while clearly not in the league of the top 3 contenders is Pearce's kissing of the Knights emblem and backstabbing the coach before leading his team into obscurity worth a mention.

Haha you are right. After SOO their fade to black was awesome.

[TDK]

You don't rate Ponga? Fark me the kid is a star.

He hasn’t proven anything yet. This year under O’Brien will test his abilities, O’Brien is no fool.

wow you read some odd things on the internet. You saw the kid play in SOO right? He is outstanding. He hasn't proven a lot yet as he is still a kid. Give him time, but what I have seen from Ponga so far is undeniable. he is pure class.

I get what your saying. Teams worked out how to handle him better last year.

What shits me about these young kids, they want it all straight away and don’t seem as happy to work to get their game to the peak of what it could be.

Ponga, Val Holmes etc and now Latrell. Latrell was pretty poor playing for Australia, and was probably only gifted the position because of the success the Roosters had. His form through the back end of the year was only average compared to his ability, which is sky high.

Unfortunately, that is just typical of their generation. It is the same in wider society. Gen Y, but mainly Millenials and Gen Z, typically expect the world for virtually nothing and in no time flat.

He's the best centre if not the best player in the game thats why he got picked for Australia. Big, strong, aggressive & grubby. Beautiful.
Latrell is/was the best centre that I have ever seen play for the Chooks in nearly 50 years of watching them.
On Ponga I think he has shown loyalty to Newcastle, Im sure other clubs would have tried to entice him away for more money.

You obviously haven’t watched Harris &Brass in the centres, but I agree he’s the best centre in the comp and was offered the best $$$$ for a centre

I obviouly have even though I was young as Im sure you were. They were good but Latrell is GREAT.

I know he is an Immortal but I rate Gene Myles & Brett Kenny higher than him. Couldnt make the Australian team whilst those 2 were playing.
Latrell runs rings around him IMO.

Very premature call so early in his career, the word great is handed out like confetti
