The discussion centers on the New Zealand Warriors' Player of the Year debate, with Erin Clark and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck RTS emerging as the primary contenders. User Tookey 2.0 #13 advocates for Clark, highlighting his unexpected elite performance as a lock forward, exceptional durability no dropped balls or penalties, and value-for-money contract, calling him the NRL-wide signing of the year. Meanwhile, User ShaunJohnson7 #567 and Zaggo #586 argue RTS's late-season dominance—noting his record-breaking winger performances, including three consecutive 250-plus-meter games and a 300-meter effort—positions him as a top contender despite early-season inconsistencies. User Beastmode #362 emphasizes Clark's granite-like consistency en route to labeling him "Player of the year," while User Defence #344 suggests modern wingers like RTS are undervalued in such debates.
Recent additions have expanded the discussion to include unexpected nominees. User Tohu’s_Knees #378 nominated Wayde Egan later added to the poll by User Defence #541, stressing Egan's critical role in securing a top-4 position, though User Beastmode #551 countered his injury history removes him from top contention. User PrinceOfPenrose #634 cited CHT, while User BangBro's still banging #643 humorously nominated Morgan Harper. User FormerlyJamesW #665 reaffirmed Clark's credentials as the NRL's signing of the year even in RTS's resurgence, and User VB89 #672 suggested Jackson Ford for "Most Improved" after transitioning successfully to prop.
Sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive and passionate, leaning slightly in favor of Clark for his season-long consistency, though RTS gained significant momentum in later posts for his record-breaking winger impact. The overall tone celebrates the Warriors' strong season, with friendly debate and mutual respect among supporters of both frontrunners.
