Buzz on the drink again maybe?

What does it say? I don't have instagram so can't access the link.

Buzz just polarising popular opinion nothing exciting.

I fail to see how any player can afford to point the finger if this rubbish is true.

The story on Fox says that several players were dumbfounded that Brooks won the award and not Douehi. Can't say that I blame them for being considered confused by that decision

You need to learn how to defend before you can be considered for a top award.

A large number of fans were outraged, so i've no doubt a few players were equally perplexed as to how Brooks was a co winner ahead of Doueihi. It's an incredibly poor decision that is the equivalent of just painting we accept and celebrate mediocrity on the front of every player's jersey.

100% agree. I'd love for a review to be carried out to get to the bottom of this

What about a halfback who can't pass, kick, direct or talk?

Players have a very different mindset to fans. I’d be surprised if they cared. It’s not like there is a cash prize. And on the off chance they were upset, well then maybe they should have turned up more often. Maybe it will give them some fire for next year. Not counting on that though.

I'm always amazed by how everyone goes on about how much they hate journalists and how they're all vermin who make everything up, until one of them says something they want to hear (ie "Brooks is bad"). Honestly who gives a toss? The players are on holiday and in all likelihood couldn't give a monkey's about a stupid award at the end of a bad season. Rothfield has called one of his player manager contacts and asked for something he can report on while nothing's happening in the comp, and there are people on here who - apparently sincerely - want the Tigers to conduct a review into who won the participation trophy. Rothfield and his mates have you dancing on a string.

It's a shame we make the headlines due to agenda-setting in some quarters. 2 things here people:

1 - the story is written by Rothfield
2 - the so-called source is a player manager that manages a few Tigers players - as trustworthy as Rothfield or used car salesmen (apologies to any on this forum). The player manager probably said to one of the one players "I'm surprised Brooks won POY" and the player made a noise in reply which the manager took as agreeance. Then the manager embelishes that in convo to Buzz. All of a sudden, a story!

I'd love the day we create our own platform maybe called 'NRL Media Watch' and criticise everything about these journos based on hearsay & crap and see how they like it!

MURDOCH SET TO RETIRE BUZZ FOR FAILING IQ TEST

Good luck to this lad.
Feel like he can really go to a new level at the Raiders.

Good move.
Good on him for challenging himself.
???

Good on the Raiders for going and getting the guy they wanted regardless of contract status... (I think he'd not long signed on)
Wish we'd follow suit... We seem to use the old
"Well, There's no one off contract" Then wonder why we can't get good players...

Note to club: Good Players are never off contract!!

If we only signed players other clubs didn't care enough about to block their release everyone on here would be hopping mad about signing rejects and cast offs.

I'm sure buzz has over dramatised the response of the player in question. It would have been much more matter of fact that in a general conversation two people had and the award was brought up and the player goes 'i'm a bit surprised adam didn't get it' and the press make it sound like a player mutiny is in progress.

Isn't Douehi in the halves also. Maybe he should pick up a bit of that slack. I love how its always Brooks' fault in a 17 man team.

Wests Tigers fans sucked in by Rothfield!

I’d like to think the players would support who ever won it and if were disappointed, they should work harder to win it next season. Culture problem if true which only reiterates what we already know.

Edit: suspect, not know

Everyone wants a gold star today

Gotta agree.

“It is a really interesting one and Michael Maguire, Adam Hartigan and board member Danny Stapleton vote for the player of the year,”

No surprises brooks favourite. Just found our list of who we need to exit the club asap

Shame we missed out on fogarty.
I think he would have really steered our team around. Cheap too

Really well not sure you noticed or watch the team play, they were all crap and not one of them get to judge.

But hey if it makes you feel big pointing out Brooks I'll leave that up to you.

100 percent

I don't get this love affair with Fogarty - he is no better than Brooks although i must admit he would be on less coin. Personally i think he only joined Canberra so he wouldn't be embarrassed by Papalii again.
