Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2644232, member: 8440"] In my opinion, the Golden Boot award, should be based on who the best player in the world was during the whole season, not just who played well in a few international games. Johnson wasn't even close to being one of the best player's in the 2014 season. There already is a separate award for being the best international player of the year, so why is the Golden Boot so heavily determined based on International form? SJ would of won the international player of the year award based on his four nations form, but to be crowned the world's best player, seems a bit far fetched. The NRL's Dally M Medal winner/s and the ESL Man of Steel where the best players in their respective competitions, and in my opinion Thurston, Hayne or Burgess (if the latter two remained in the NRL) should have won the award. As for the team of the year, Johnson wasn't even the best halfback in the NRL competition, let alone the world. I'd probably say Hunt was the best halfback (since he played the whole season at halfback, in comparison to Thurston who played a bit of five-eighth as well). As for Whare, Vatuvei, Proctor and Mannering...??? Hmmm... [/QUOTE]
