OMG, if the Bookvale fight hadn't happened, Glenn Stewart would've finished equal second.

Onya Billy! Did Benji poll in Round 26?

 

[JasRulz63]

According to the link in the OP, nope.

Farah got the 3 for his hatrick against the sharks, Benji didn't even poll.

 

[Bomber Bears]

Well done Slater, Smith would've been more deserving IMO

 

[CooperCronk]

Well done BILLY SLATER
He's a champion player and a super person off field as well.

I did feel a little sorry for Cam Smith, who, imo, had a slightly better year.

 

[tugga]

Well done Billy. Made up for the year when Matt Awful won it from him.

Hard to argue with that Team of the Year, I think.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Well done Billy

 

[Boston Sima]

congrats to billy slater and the rest of the storm players and coach for their awards

 

[storm fan]

The Melbourne Storm have the JJ.Giltinan shield (Minor Premiership) and the Club Championships already this year, is the premiership next?

I hope so.

 

[Aucklander]

The best player in the Toyota Cup came from the 11th placed team. Sure.

Not surprised by that article, as I said already Billy's a real down to earth type of guy, very modest and is always available to sign autographs and speak to fans, not only Storm fans either.

 

[4evablues]

Well Done Billy!!! U totally deserve it!! He has been one of the most potent and consistent players for years.

Wish I was as fit as him...as I eat my maccas burger hehe

 

[CooperCronk]

Kudos also to all the other winners also, especially Paul Gallen, who has been outstanding for the Sharks.

I agree, although some here don't.

 

[storm fan]

Paul Gallen is a thug, but no body can deny that he has been in career best form and was the most dominate forward in the NRL this year.

 

[Bomber Bears]

Centre is the position that has been thin on quality this year IMO. Lyon seemed to be the one qho put most of the season together, thus winning by default. The other quality centres (Lawrence Hodges Inglis Cooper Jennings) have been hit by injury and lack of form.

 

[moto748]

True dat.

 

[meltiger]

The best player in the Toyota Cup came from the 11th placed team. Sure.

Why not?

A star player in a bad team is still a star player.

 

[Aucklander]

Why not?

A star player in a bad team is still a star player.

You'd think a star player would make the starting side of the team of the year ahead of the other two second rowers.
