Your Top 3 and Flops 3 of 2026...

3 points goes to Luai.
I am not doubting his effort and there can be no doubt he showed the way and helped create much better off field work ethic, but for 1.2 million per season you need to regularly come up with big plays and have a major positive influence on the end result.
He regularly avoided the ball on the 5th tackle and ran his outside players out of room just as much as the much maligned Adam Doueihi did.
2 or 3 standout games each season is not near good enough for a highly paid marquee player.
And to think we still have some supporters who are disappointed he is leaving?
Imagine that crap for another 3 years?
 
Luai, enough said.

Mav Geyer, who !?

Starford Toa, I've never liked him and I'm happy hes departing. Good luck to him.

Not necessarily "flops", but I would've loved to see more of the Lualili brothers this year. Always liked them and sad to see them go. Hopefully they're back in a few years, even better - like Jnr Tupou.

Will Craig takes out the "top 30, squad filler" award that we see every year. A player in the 30 that never plays and most likely won't play. William Kei (who!?) Type players. There just to make up the numbers.
 
Top 3....

Start of the year, I was beyond impressed with KPP, Taylan May and Royce Hunt - who were all really making impact. Sadly we didn't get to see them for the entirety of the year.

Special mention to those three.

However, narrowing it down to the 3 I thought who really stepped it up this year,

3. Alex Twal 🇱🇧
2. Alex Seyfarth 🦒
1. Samuela Fainu 🐯

All played their best, for mine.
 
Tops
1. Twal. Had his best year with us. Averaged 42 tackles every week and caused some headaches with his ballrunning and offloading.
2. Terrell averaged 40 tackles and 143m every week, only missing 1 game. Not as effective as his piers in other sides, but a top performer in our squad.
3. Doueihi. I will always maintain he was one of our best this year and if not for his performances early to mid year, we get another spoon.

Flops
1. Makasini. Given the hype on this kid I was in absolute shock at how shit he was. Easily our worst player this year.
2. Luai. I wasn’t as shocked by how Luai played as I have always thought he was a poser of a player. His output was as I expected…couldn’t have cared less as long as his hair looked good.
3. Sammy F. Now hear me out, I don’t think he was one of our worst at all, however from 25 form, I thought he was down a bit. After his injury, down a lot. Good news is, out of the three flops I’ve nominated, he is the one I have complete faith in bouncing back in 27.
 
Tops
Can't split them: Twal, Pole and KPP.
Flops
1. Toa just pathetic.
2. Luai legend in his own mind.
3. Makasini looked the goods but didn't deliver, played too many games, but injuries made it necessary.
 
Top
1. KPP, Pole, Sam F.

Flops.
AD. Walking out on a team. Dog act.
Luai. Did not deliver on the money he was on.
Toa. Terrible inconsistant player.
