VOT player of the year?? geez...what a bunch of 12yo turds who think locke was the best player all season...
I think it's less who they think is the best player, and more who they like as their favourite.

Regardless of how hard Luck tried his heart out this year Manu deserved the award. I would definitely say he was far and away our best this year.
Finally the Warriors management get something right this season.
I think Manu was hurt in the voting due to be outed with injury for a period of time.
1000 tackles plus for a season. Thats a body destroying number.
I dunno - he only played 4 matches less than Luck, and 13 tries in 19 matches ain't half bad. I think, though, that setting NRL records for a match and for a season are what sealed it for Luck.

I remember watching the Sunday footy show a few weeks ago and Phil Gould and Andrew Johns (both men that I respect immensely) talked about how having someone in your team with a massive tackle count is nothing to be proud of and if the coach is proud then he's not doing his job properly. They said, and they're 100% correct, that the teams with these players in never win premierships. Nathan Friend has been up there with Michael Luck the past couple years and the Titans never even made the finals.
So in other words, making 1000 tackles a year is nothing to be proud of Michael. It just drives home the fact that the team is not working together as a unit. Nobody should be making 1000 tackles. Alan Tongue is up there too every year, when was the last time the Raiders won the big one?
In fairness you did leave out Dallas Johnson...tackling machine in a successful team no?
