I went Stef,probably would have said bud though.Stef was more of a dissapoint than a
dud.
Bud was a Dud.
Bateman well he was a dissapoint last year too.
Olam is up there,when I spoke to his brother earlier in the year he was pretty clear he was good just lost
a touch of pace but good.Hopefully the op will make him better to stay on the field next year.
Sezer,well,I was expecting a little more direction even behind a beaten pack.

I felt sorry for Olam. When others did head highs they'd get 10 mins, on report or just a penalty. Then thhey'd get either a fine or one game suspension. No other players was told they had a whole body to aim for and to go - even though their tackles were similar.

Even JWH, with his, um, impressive record, only got 3 games. Justin kept getting 4 games. Sezer was another who was dudded by judiciary more than once, compared with similar tackles by others.

Those guys were treated more harshly than anyone else. The NRL's attitude seems to be, "It's only the Tigers, so no one important will care". While their absensces were disappointing, it wasn't entirely their fault IMO

I voted Bateman but it was close. Bud was another diappointment.
