    You're more biased against RTS than Magic is biased for him.

    You can't ignore Magic's argument about who his competition was. He was always going to get picked, especially when they weigh in the internationals as heavily as possible.

    Yeah I don't think so.

    Just so we have this straight before going ahead with the argument, you're saying RTS was a deserving winner?

    Then I take it you're not disappointed for Thurston to win the GB?

    Yes my opinion is he was the deserving winner and first choice before anybody else, by far. This isn't a 'who's the best player in x position' award it's 'who was the best in 2013 in x position'.

    I'm a little disappointed I guess but I don't really care lol. Would've preferred to see Burgess or SBW take it.

    lol okay then. Do you actually watch players when they don't have the ball in hand? I mean you never used to with Hayne, for example.

    Team looks good, there's no point including peasants from outside the NRL.

    My argument wasn't based around his defence it was the competition for the position, or rather lack of. Rather than an advocate someone else you just go straight for the biased card and try to discredit mine.

    You should look at a career in politics, no jokes.

    Yeh I thought Burgess & SBW had superior club seasons and put in strong World Cup showings too. Between the two for mine.

    So there's a game on tomorrow night on the Gold Coast between the Philippines & the Latin Heat, which is a South American combined side.
    Which I find kinda awesome.

    Considering going.

    You know you can't even drink non-bottled water in the Philippines?

    Sam burgess getting that many votes is a bit of a joke

    more of a joke that inglis got 0 in my opinion? unless he did get votes but it just wasn't shown in that article?

    I don't care whether it was based around it or not. He has significant defensive issues IMO. You say otherwise. Therein lies our disagreement and why you think it's a fine selection and I don't. I'm not going to sit here and hash out a 3-page argument we've already had just to hear you and Toolman blame it all on his inside men when it's convenient. It's boring.

    He wasn't nominated. Thurston, Smith, Cronk, Burgess, SBW and Brough were the nominees. How Inglis and Gallen were not nominated I have nfi.

    Has anyone ever stopped and realised that 95% of wingers have defensive issues and that perhaps the defensive expectations of wingers is too high?

    I'm sure our expectations seem high to the ridiculously low bar set by the general RL fan.
