Isaiah Papali’i absolutely robbed from the dally m team of year

[SydneyRoosters]

This has to be the biggest robbery of an award in rugby league history. The bloke has been parramatta’s best player for almost every game this season. Absolutely appalling descions it really ruins the authenticity of the award when players like him aren’t getting in. He should be top 5 for the dally m medal Nevermind not making the team of the year I’m honestly appalled.

[MrPosh]

Me, too. I'm just so, so, so angry.

I'm not going to watch the World Cup, now.

[SalfordSlim]

Worst decision since Jai Field not getting 2022 MOS!!!

I hope the residents of Sydney will be marching on city hall like the Pie fans did?

This might be the time you present the team of the year for everyone to discuss whether they feel the same

I'm guessing the backrowers would be a Yeo at 13, Nanai and then possibly Kikau?

I'd rather have Papali'i than Kikau, but it's not like they're picking garbage

Yes, correct.  I like Papali'i and he has had a terrific season but you also can't argue with the one's chosen.

Someone who I think does have a case to be a little aggrieved is Daniel Tupou who sees Joseph Suali'i get the nod on one wing when I think Tupou was comfortably the best winger at the Roosters all year.

Just Thought I’d throw in Isaiah Stats for you guys who don’t agree.

27 Games

10 Tries

10 Linebreak Assists

4 Try Assists

33 Offloads

938 Tackles

94% Tackle Efficiency

142 Average Run Metres

3800 Total Run Metres

100 Tackle Breaks

1500 Post contact metres

he’s basically the best in the nrl at every stat in his position (Bar Offloads) He should have been top 5  for the dally m medal let alone not being the best in his position, Not to mention Joseph Tapine wasn’t even in the top 10 for the dally m medal. it is just goes to show how criminal the nrl treat fowards with these awards. They needs to sort this stuff out it’s disgusting.

when I was 14 - there was an art competition in our year at school - I was sure my picture of MR T  was gonna win but it didn't - some kid called Banksy or something won it with some crappi stencil of mrs thatcher taking a dump - but that learned me a lesson in life and the lesson was - stop wasting time drawing pictures of MR T - am sure mr papalii will move on in life

How can he be best in his position for every stat bar offloads when Jeremiah Nanai (in the team of the year) has scored 17 tries this year.

[DavidM]

There will always be arguments when these teams are announced due to the strength of competition and the voting system .I mean the overall winner isn’t even the best half back . Either way it’s a strong team

My mistake but still Isaiah Papali’i  is only 7 off one of the greatest try scoring seasons from a backrower whilst not being an arial threat like Nanai.

[StandOffHalf]

He's had a better, more consistent season than Kikau.

I'd have had him in the second-row alongside Nanai.

[UTK]

Kikau's stats to compare with those above:

9 Tries 

10 Try Assists 

15 Line Break Assists 

8 Line Breaks 

44 Offloads

IPap is a quality workhorse whereas Kikau is more pick your moments and deliver game changing plays player, hence why IPaps run metres/tackles etc leave Kikau for dead while Kikau's try involvements/LBAs/offloads leaves IPap for dead. Different types of players and IMO the best 2 edges in the world but someone had to make way for Nanai's season-long imitation of a winger playing second row. 

Wouldn't even consider is a robbery let alone the biggest one in RL history, unfortunate for him that the other two have had phenomenal seasons in their own right and contribute more to plays that win you Dally M points.
