Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3056794, member: 9358"] In what universe would Sivo win ROTY ahead of Haas??? You mentioned in another post that attack holds more weight in these things... you do realise Haas isn’t a defensive prop? He has been near unstoppable one on one close to the line, has a pretty decent strike rate try wise for a prop forward and makes tons of post contact metres that help get us up the field to attack in the first place. He is also killing it in a position most NRL first graders don’t master until mid to late 20’s. He made Origin after 10 games as a prop forward which has never happened before and it’s not like he didn’t deserve it either. If he continues his numbers he will win it in a landslide. He pumps out Taumalolo-Esque numbers each week at 20 years of age whilst having a higher defensive workload than JT most weeks. Sivo is just a finisher and at this stage of his career is hardly Semi Radradra MK 2. If the award went to value player of the year that’s a different argument as he would be probably the favourite there as he is on minimum wage. The only guy close to Haas this year rookie wise is Nikora and he plays back row and has barely the same influence as Haas does in games. Nikora to his credit did make NZ side but NZ lack depth in the forwards (since most of them have defected to the other pacific islands) and is the reason the opportunity was there to rush him in early in his career. Don’t forget NZ is a national side that picked Krisnan Inu after one first grade game so it doesn’t hold the same weight as breaking into the Origin arena. Especially for NSW who have a plethora of forwards to pick from. Other guys in contention like Cust, Papynhauzen, Drinkwater, etc haven’t played enough this season to leap frog the favourites. Sivo would probably be third in line for the award alongside Xerri. [/QUOTE]
