Coloured by his recent games but when Barny went down he kinda kept our forwards afloat

Erin Clark all year, has to be close Rts found his groove a bit later on.
The game where RTS ran for the 2nd most meters ever for a winger was eye opening thats for sure.

Has been one of the more consistent performers.
Clark due to his better kicking game
Clark easily for me. I don't think anyone expected him to be this good at the beginning of the year. Has been an elite 13, has been great on attack and defence. On top of this, Clark is almost certainly the buy of the year across the whole NRL, the numbers he's producing and likely on a modest contract.
Roger has been phenomenal this year, but I guess for me his step and meters have always been part of his game no matter where he plays in the backline, so whilst impressive, are almost standard for Roger. Also, at 600k he's probably slightly overpaid as a winger, so value wise Erin gets the nod over him too imo

Í went Ford. All three are deserving, but I have distinct memories of being shocked when Ford came on and turned into a heat seeking missile and flew at blokes at a hundred miles and hour and whacked them.
Clarks running is great, but Ford is crazy and I like madmen forwards for what they do for the confidence of people around them.
Shout out to Capewell when he was fully fit hitting dudes in the centers and folding them.

Hands down Erin Clark for me
RTS made a few blunders earlier this season with dropped balls and catches. Can’t recall if he missed a few games at the start also
Erin however has been a wall of granite. Don’t recall him making mistakes dropping balls missing games or giving away silly penalties
Easily the best player of the year
What a human specimen that guy is
RTS a commendable second followed by….
Kurt Capewell. That guy has turned back the clock and played some fantastic football this year. SOO call up. Mr reliable. Way more valuable than mr average Jackson Ford

Yeah 100% Clark.
However Pompey deserves to at least be in the conversation for back of the year.
For mine has a more challenging role than Rog who's been great doing Rog things. Different combinations almost weekly, changing edges.....think he's been one of the few bank players we've had in that 3/4 line this year.

Thats the issue really isnt it. Its kinda expected of Roger so its a little bit blaise.
I cant decide between the two

I realise there is a bit of a points system.
And Erin or RTS are almost guarantees
But IMO, there’s nuance to it all.
For me, the player of the year is Wayde Egan. Without Egan, we’re not in the top 4. Period.

I must say that Clarks signature move; the acceleration into contact and sharp step back to create space, is almost unstoppable. Its like Nowitzki's one legged fade away jumper. Pretty sure he did it to Tino.
