NRL 360 Team of the Year

From about rd 1-10 Milf was phenomenal. If he maintained that form all season there'd be no contest, but he deadset went missing after that. Only blinder I remember him having in the 2nd half of the season was against a Parramatta reserve grade side.

I don't really agree with this because for mine Brisbane rely a lot more on Milford's creativity in attack than the Sharks do with Maloney who pretty much still only shovels and supports.

100% they are 1 and 2 but I think Milford has by far been the best.

Good thing Milford brought the stink for nigh on half a season then! Hahah

Milford is going to win a lot of awards over his career but there is no way he's been better than James Maloney this year. No way. You've lost your mind

Milford can do some amazing things but only when his forwards are winning the battle which I did early in the season. When they were under the pump Milford compounded it by making simple handling errors and making them work harder.

You can't just go missing for at least a third of the season and be the best.

Maloney isn't as flashy but I would argue he is as important to the Sharks. Who is their half back again?

Botman · Post by **Botman** » September 20, 2016, 11:27 am

Spot on Pick
You just can't lay an egg for 8-10 weeks of a 24 week season and be named the best at your position

I think stats really misrepresent a lot of things but Milford doubled Maloney in line breaks and line break assists. Had 10 more tries, 60 more tackle breaks and 40 fewer missed tackles.

We have people in this thread **** on Mitchell Moses because he can't defend yet happy to back James Maloney, the worst defender in the NRL.

End of the day I just don't like James Maloney as a player. Good signing for Cronulla; yes. Best #6 in 2016, no.

pickles · Post by **pickles** » September 20, 2016, 11:46 am

It really isn't one of those positions where there has been an absolute stand out this year which is why it is so difficult to pick a winner.

Milford has also made twice as many errors as Maloney which balances some of the attacking stats. In terms of consistency I think Maloney has been better across the year.

Maloney's defence suspect too.

Corey Norman was the better 5/8, the rest had a very patchy season.

If he maintained that form all season they'd be preparing what to do as a grand final celebration next week.

Ikin and Kent named Wade Graham, but the fans chose Josh Papalii. No Raiders nominee at prop.

Notaroboticfish · Post by **Notaroboticfish** » September 20, 2016, 7:31 pm

No **** way Wade Graham was better than Papa

Wade was awesome during the year and then disappeared in the second half. Papa should have got it comfortably.

Aero · Post by **Aero** » September 20, 2016, 7:54 pm

Luckily NRL.com actually has a player head-to-head stats comparison tool.....Stats don't tell the whole story, but it definitely doesn't help NRL 360's decision.. Papalii by a landslide

Post by **greeneyed** » September 20, 2016, 8:03 pm

That's excellent Aero.

Papalii finished with 52.7 per cent of the fan vote, Graham was second last in the poll with 8.8 per cent.

Post by **dubby** » September 20, 2016, 8:07 pm

I think the team was in danger of being a raiders team!!

No, the fans proved Ikin and Kent don't know what they're doing. Which is certainly obvious now they've picked Moses and Graham.

julian87 · Post by **julian87** » September 20, 2016, 9:06 pm

Wade Graham's the new Josh Jackson. Over rated to the max.

Botman · Post by **Botman** » September 20, 2016, 9:10 pm

Na, he can't be the new Jackson
Wade Graham is actually an above average footballer so whilst he is over-rated, it's not in the same realm of Jackson

Woodgers · Post by **Woodgers** » September 20, 2016, 9:13 pm

I don't mind Wade Graham but i'd want more than a Ferrari chucked in to sweeten the deal to swap them.

Much better than Jackson.

**** is going on with Josh Jackson? Honestly, he's a poor man's Owen Cunningham or Dallas Johnson but with a tad more size. He's got the best poker face in the game surely!

Botman · Post by **Botman** » September 20, 2016, 9:21 pm

What's going on with him is some how every media pundit believes Jackson is some kind of star footballer

It's the strangest thing I've seen in sports
If he was at our club I'd have him behind Papalii, Whitehead, Sia, Fensom, Bateman and Tapine at second row and lock

It's quite a Ponzi scheme he's running

simo · Post by **simo** » September 20, 2016, 9:31 pm

Jackson has been brought up in nsw captaincy discussions. Its putrid

I think he must be some kind of professional hypnotist or confidence trickster. Surely at some point he's going to click his fingers and the rugby league media will wake up and realize they're doing the chicken dance in a tutu!

Post by **greeneyed** » September 20, 2016, 9:39 pm

I think Josh Jackson would make a fine NSW captain. Very appropriate choice.

pickles · Post by **pickles** » September 20, 2016, 9:53 pm

Geez GE can't you save that for the troll cave?

Seiffert82 · Post by **Seiffert82** » September 20, 2016, 9:59 pm

The fact Jackson's name is even being mentioned as a potential Origin stalwart, let alone Captain speaks volumes about the state of the NSW team. It's outrageous.

In saying that, the NSW players voted him their player of the series, so there you go.

He's consistent, but in any given round there would be about 6-8 second rowers who have a bigger impact on their game than Josh Jackson.

Post by **dubby** » September 21, 2016, 9:34 am

Apparently he makes the least errors and is the consummate professional in his preparation.

Must be doing something right, as far as I can see he's a Fensom in a bulldogs jersey

In fairness to jackson, hes an effort player. Much like fensom when we were losing, these players stand out because they show heart

Fensom is playing for Mounties
Josh Jackson has Australian jerseys given to him. Fensom is legitimately a better footballer IMO
