  1. What a crock.
    King Guth should have won it. He is way better than Wighton.
    The biggest joke was James Fisher Harris getting Prop of the year.
    Jr Paulo 1st, daylight 2nd, Papali 3rd, RCG 4th and JFH a very distant 5th.

  2. Nothing to do with being a sore loser.
    I think Jerome should have got 5/8 of the year over Wighton which kills me to say as I have a massive distaste for the Riff.
    RCG had to leave your lot to find his form and there isn’t a single player on the Riffs squad I would take over the king.
    Go Melbourne!
