top 5 in my opinion

1\. Daniel Mortimer
2\. Kevin Gordon
3\. Jarrod Croker
4\. Josh Dugan
5\. Kevin Locke

Most Overrated: Jamal Idris

exactly jarrod crocker >>>>idris

Kevin gordon >>>>>idris

Josh dugan >>>>>idris

he is extrememly over rated

By no way is Idris overated :laughing: if you want proof tune in at 9.30 this friday night.
Seriously though he has been very good this season for the dogs - why the hate for him???

so i tuned in and saw idris get owned over and over again in defence and make 1 good run that anyone with pace would of scored. not in the top 8 rookies this year

Geez..I would have sworn Witterstein would be a shoe in, looks the goods and has scored tries consistently, a real talent.

living in brisbane I have watched him whenever the broncos were on a friday night.
He was able to find the try-line for the first half of the year but his defence is suspect and he makes a lot of errors.
I agree with Yossarian Mortimer is definetely a good player but he isn't an amazing playmaker without hayne and moi moi I couldn't see him directing the team around effectively.
I think dugan or croker should get it.
Dugan is very talented and he always gets smashed but he always gets up and keeps going.
 
Most great teams have a BIG center. A tall guy with pace and a bit of power.

Ayshford game be that guy. LEAVE him in the centers. He and Lawrence could be the best combo in the game soon enough.

Lock? No, no, no, no, no!
 
Ayshford's gotta stay in the centres, at least til he matures a bit.

While he's still young and has some pace and agility then leave him in the centres.

This team has so much confusion around their positions. A lock is either an extra ball player, like Fittler or Anasta, or used as an extra prop up the middle like what we've done this year with Payten, Payne and Heighno. Ayshford is completely opposite to this
 
Bulk him up a bit …and leave him in the centers with Lawernce this combo could be anything the guy knows how to beat the defence ... Putting him in the forwards in the next couple of seasons would be madness ..but madness is rife at the tigers at the moment.
 
we would like to see him still in the centres, and in time with Chris Lawrence, these two could be very good centre combo.
we are gonna have to wait and see what suprises the new season brings. :unamused: :brick:
 
Just saw some highlights of the Tigers V Dogs game … Jamaal Idris has got to be the slowest, sluggish defender. Benji's try he ran right through him and all Idris did was throw a high five at him as he ran past. It was disturbing to watch thinking this guy is in first grade.
 
Lewis Brown should get a nomination surely. He has been one of the few lights in the Warriors season

Yeah I know, he reminds me of Daine Laurie. The thing is though they both have alot of potential. If they both improve their fitness they will be very very good first graders.
 
Ayshford needs to stay in the centres for many reasons i think, but imo he needs to stay there so he can easily get in and cover Marshall as he moves into the centers to defend.
 
Ayshford is a good defender and filled the void in the centres this year as a result of inury to Collis who was starting to find his mo-jo before WWF techniques ruined his season.

Ayshford is too slow and does not have a decent passing game.

He would be devastating on the edges as he has the ability to off-load and poke his head through the line. With the likes of Moltzen, Marshall, Lazarus and anyone else sniffing around, expect a lot of line-break assists from Ayshford in 2010.

In 2009, we had a disproportionate number of tries scored down Lawrence's side as opposed to Ayshford's. There is a reason for this and it needs to be fixed so that the opposition is frightened by attack on both sides of the ruck.

If there is one thing that you cant argue about with Sheens is that he has developed arguably some of the best players and coaches the game has seen.
 
he might be a bit slow for the backs especially with the added bulk he willl no doubt gain by next season. He'd probabbly be smashed at lock, but if he were to move to the fowards I'd have him as a wide running second rower. But I'd probably prefer him in the centres
 
I would be very dissapointed if the Fonz moves him to lock this early in his career. He was devasting in the centres and the only issue is he is a bit of a hog, but besides that, he was outstanding.

Anything but logic could happen with this regime.
 
The fact that he has yet to have a off season is a big advantage at this stage.

A decision could be made to play him anywhere from lock to wing and his training can be geared towards it.

He is a real talent and that is what is important at this stage
 
Its possible or maybe even probable…

He does have some obvious natural strength to him & an offseason spent in the gym will do him the world of good...

But i'd also like to see him go through the sprint training that Moltz did last offseason & kept at the centre, unless they jag Lote... 😱pen_mouth:

Even if Tuquiri is signed, he can play fullback, Moltzen can go to the halves and Ayshford can stay at centre.

I don't like the tendency in rugby league to try and turn every big, fast, 100kg centre into a 5/8 or second rower. There's no reason Lawrence and Ayshford can't become as good a centre pairing as Cooper and Gasnier were at the Dragons.
 
Wasn't Ayshford possibly moving to the forwards in the future mentioned before he played first grade? If so, I'm sure they'll leave him in the backs as long as he keeps performing well there.

Tuiaki was going to move to the forwards, but he did so well on the wing he was left there. I can see the same thing happening with Ayshford.

And I must say I've been impressed with him on the wing in the last few games, I thought he would be too slow there but he has done well IMO.

I agree, Ayshford looks to me to be a genuine rep footballer in the making. He just seems to handle everything with ease. I believe he and Moltzen will be big name players in 3 or 4 years time (no pressure of course :wink: )
