Hudson Young got the three points playing out of position? Interesting.

He goes alright.

I thought he and Williams did a great job on Leilua jr and he still had the energy to make a couple of tough outside-in runs. Unlike Leilua, he just got better and better as the game went on. Good signs.

That defense late in the game was very impressive. We just kept coming.
Tigers attacking our line but looking like they were on the back foot.
Still work to do in attack with timing and lines. Looks very dangerous when he drifts into the middle.

Defensively he was excellent
35 tackles, 1 miss and held the Tigers best play at bay all game. It was a huge reason why we went into the break with the score line we did.
He got 2 points from me but I've got no qualms about him getting 3.

He's a substantially better middle than edge with ball in hand. That was confirmed again in the game yesterday.

Agree. Defensively very solid, as he has been pretty much anytime I've seen him play there.

In attack, almost anything good he did came in middle third. I think once CHN becomes available again natural order will take course, particular given his ability to attack space and run lines. George badly needs someone to give the ball to on that right.

I appreciate that some posters have made this claim that he is so much better in the middle than the edge but he was playing on the edge yesterday and he played very well. It's really unnecessary to try and twist it into a 'the good things he did was through the middle' narrative.

Like I said last year, maybe it just took him a few games to feel comfortable in the nrl, regardless of position. I admit I got him wrong - as a lot of us did after the eye gouging.

I think he can get better out wide, so I’m happy for him to learn his trade on the edge.

He’s heading in the right direction and hopefully he can further develop his passing game and support play.

He’s a good middle, but we have plenty of good middles.

I think Billy Moore botched up the order of his votes and meant Tedesco as number 1 player rather than 1 point.

How did Ryan James miss out on points? Good to see Hudson Young leading the way, despite being forced to play out of position.

Yeah spot on, if you had to rank the judges first to last, he'd be near the top and even he's **** hopeless.

As many of us have commented the entire Dally M system is flawed.

I’d rather see a range of 3,2,1s from multiple media sources and then the Daily Telegraph can rank any ties into the final score. The main player of the year award for any sport shouldn’t be owned by Rupert Murdoch.

It is owned by the NRL now. That's why all the points are now transparently published on NRL.com.

The judges are required to watch, but after last year they no longer have to be at the game.

Must have been watching via Kayo on his phone while out at dinner. Main course was served at the 20 min mark.

Stupid. The whole system's **** stupid.

You just know if Corey Parker had been doing our game he would've somehow found a way to give a point to a Broncos player.

We should get 5-8 people together and run our own Greenhouse NRL wide system one year

I bet ours would compare very favourable to the actual dally m’s

None of these ex-Broncos guys like Thaiday or Hodges or Corey **** Parker seem remotely competent to do the Dally M's after a game.

Actually, most judges stink at times, we've seen Greg Alexander and now Ben Ikin also come up with absolute head scratchers.

Sounds like V'Landys is onto it already though...

"While voting will always be a subjective process, an overhaul of the Dally M system has been floated before by Peter V’landys.
Last year he suggested every player be ranked out of 10 for every game before adding up those points to determine the Dally M medallist.
He said at the time that it would address players who are in a strong team where multiple stars are competing for points."

**** I love him.

Early on she had the highest profile of all the women NRL players, mainly because of the family recognition. That was a long time ago and surely they can come up with a better option now.

Sports media "personalities" are never hired for their talent - it is all about jobs for the boys (or in this case girls)

Just do it as fans choice and be done with it. Log on to NRL.com after games and give all 34 players a vote out of 10
