Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2644423, member: 1899"] Foran's presence certainly helped but I think the key difference between club and rep was the forwards. I think the likes of Bromwich, Harris, Taupau, Eastwood laid a tremendous platform and offered plenty of second phase which gave SJ more of an opportunity to use that foot-work of his and really create opportunities that most wouldn't be able to. JT is in a similar boat. I remember there were a few seasons where JT seemed a little down on form, but come Origin time, the difference Cam Smith made to his game was extraordinary where as, at club level, he wasn't as dominant and I didn't think he was the form half at that level. As for the award itself, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it decided by English jouranlists? It isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, which is why I'm okay that they give their mickey mouse award to a player who's currently still playing, has momentum and could do with that on his resume. It's a win for the game as far as I'm concerned and most pundits wouldn't think twice. Similar deal with the whole Immortals deal. Cool name, but when the likes of Rothfield, Rabs and Hadley are apart of the selection committee, I don't really get all bent up about a drug cheat like Andrew Johns being selected. [/QUOTE]
