Time for these awards to be held in Auckland every second year. More than 50% of NRL players are Māori or Pacific Islanders. The Haka proved the significance and power of the NZ/Pacific Islander culture for the NTL.
@StuartRyan-yi5ok Don't completely disagree with you, but I think the other side would have the advantage... because this team is picked off consistency as well, players having played most matches etc. It would be a good game, but picture the other side... Munster and Cleary in the halves, Ponga Edwards or Reece walsh available for FB.. fisher Harris, leota, Liam Martin, Lindsay Collins, Carrigan etc .. and many more.
@@Kaikzz and he definitely wasn’t better than Dearden this year who carried his side to 5th from 11th last year, best defensive half in the game and 2nd best running 6 in the game behind Munster, you’re kidding yourself
I hope Meninga takes note of these Aussie players of the year & picks the Australian team accordingly. Let’s not pick a team who has done the job in the past like Addo-Carr, Mitchell etc…….
There isn't a forward in the game that can hold a candle to issiah yeo. Moved to 13 in 2020 and won the award the same year and has only missed it twice since.
Crazy everyone saying Burton or Luai should’ve won 6 of the year on ig 💀 if you don’t see why Dearden won it then you obviously don’t understand rugby league 🤦🏽♂️
Hey Luke Brooks all those years at the Tigers and you never lost a finals game.. One year at Manly and you finally lose one, well how does that feel now... and knowing Tigers will finish higher than Manly next year... Hahahaha...
He would of won only if he got that penalty conversion against the warriors on magic round to level the score but he missed and warriors won up that WAHS😂@@Jesser1121
@grantreed9899 origin and the finals don't count towards the voting. So what happens in those doesn't matter but personally for me there was a couple of positions where 2 or 3 players easily could of been picked and team wouldn't of been wrong. Just you unintentionally highlighted in your comment something that happened that the voters who came up with the team easily could of looked at as a legitimate reason to pick dearden over luai that's all.
Good to see the Crichton brothers there. Stephen, And Angus
😂
Great bloodline that.
@@khankake9576 🤭
The team list should say (no relation) like the line in Die Hard 😂😂
🤦🤦🤦
The camera showing AFB instead of Joseph Tapine is funny asf 🤣🤣
AFB’s reaction made me crack up watching it live 😂
@@jamestyrrell340 no choice but to go with it 🤣
😂😂😂
Crapshit......Dylan edwards should've been fullback of the year
@@viliamitakitaki4264 Agree strongly!!
Angus in that suit looks like a actor in an action movie haha
I thought Luai would have done enough but it's a good team I guess
Yeo with the giga chad energy shaking everyones hand
Is anyone else laughing? Zac, who hates Wing, had his best year ever and now gets this award.
No cause he's not the 1st player to get in the team of the year playing in a non preferred position.
Lomax winger of the year 😅
Brother Lomax u a mad winger
Ouaaa Adin Fonua Blake! Keep it TONGAUP🦅🇹🇴ACCA

na hundred thas valid
The NRL team of the year should play some kind of a team(Fans Team of the year or such). Just a future inititive.😊.
The NRL team would be one hard team to beat if they were serious.

Jerome Luai should get five-eight of the year. He is one of the main driving force for Penrith to the finals.
Wake up to yourself he didn’t even play five-eight all year until Cleary came back 🤦🏽♂️
Yeah what you said lol
@@briannnn98Luai is the best five eight though.
@@Kaikzz do you honestly not understand how this award works?
@@Kaikzz and he definitely wasn’t better than Dearden this year who carried his side to 5th from 11th last year, best defensive half in the game and 2nd best running 6 in the game behind Munster, you’re kidding yourself
Tom Deardon my boy UP THE COWBOYS 🤠💙

Do you just mention Indigenous players who aren't even in contention for a spot. Last start Tedesco captained them to a 30 nil drubbing.
@@anthonyc4812 and what has tedesco been doing this whole season? hes fallen off
Why wasn’t Sean Russell selected on the wing? wtf?
Who?
Hahahaha
Is that a joke
We have a comedian on board!
Sean Russell pplzzz..
There isn't a forward in the game that can hold a candle to issiah yeo.

What have Tom Dearden done to win thia award
Teddy the GGGGGGGGGGGGGoat
Remember last year Cleary did not get any award for dally m medal but the trophy.
Carrigan should have been lock of the year
Lomax best winger 😂
Call of the year St George Illawarra Coach … Sorry Zac were going to put you on the wing….
Broncos should sign this team.
They did Staggs dirty with that one fs
Where’s edwards? Also no cleary?
Fonua blake yhe future comancheros prez😂
Up AFB - ACCA CENTRAL AUCKLAND💯🦅🇹🇴
Ma boy Mr Farnworth 💪💯

@@CoreyChandler-y2l I see you’ve jumped off the bandwagon now 💀 the rest of you bandwagons need to do the same because they’re trash 💀
@@briannnn98 that claim has more substance than cowboys winning it this year👀
Solid team that. Nice for the event production team to keep up with current cultural affairs too... Not my hero Foos.
Good to see people who tripped who should of been sent off get rewarded for being grubs
I was hoping lu brooks won
Luey brookksey
I hate the Panthers and their playboy arrogance. But if Dylan Edwards isn't the fullback of the year - there's corruption in the process somewhere..
Kikau???
5-8 of the year belongs to Jerom L
Logan Common
Isnt every years team of the year STACKED 😂
Tedesco?
How
Lock of the year Isah Yeo.❤❤
Jerome played both 6 and 7 both positions, man should have gotten that dally m five eight
Fisher Harris over AFB
Fisher Harris? 😂😂😂 read some player stats mate.
Hey Luke Brooks all those years at the Tigers and you never lost a finals game..
One year at Manly and you finally lose one, well how does that feel now... and knowing Tigers will finish higher than Manly next year...
Hahahaha...
Will warbrick should’ve gotten it instead of Brian too
Ngl payne haas should of been in there for fonua-blake and im a die hard warriors fan 🤷♂️🤷♂️
jeez they're going to have to get some more comfy seats for some of the sth pacific girls
Tedesco???
Yeh i was thinking the same thing
I thought Edwards deserved it
He would of won only if he got that penalty conversion against the warriors on magic round to level the score but he missed and warriors won up that WAHS😂@@Jesser1121
Tedesco lost the dally ms by 1 point and if you can’t see why he’s the fullback of the year use obviously don’t have many braincells
Well done Teddy and Angus 🎉❤
Tapine out Josh King in
It’s rigged
Yep, rigged against Melbourne Storm, like yesterday's GF. The whole team should have been selected from Storm. NRL has it in the for Storm 🤪
Luai robbed for 5/8, dearden had a great year but no cleary for half the year and panthers 2nd on the ladder 🤷♂️
Yeah but with no cleary you could then argue he played half the year at halfback. There for making dearden the most deserving number 6
@@Ryan-ys3yd thats fair but he also beat dearden in origin series 🤷♂️. No slight to dearden, bloke is a gun
