PLAYER Jamayne Isaako Discussion

Congrats to Jamayne after finishing on top as the highest point scorer.

Players never admit it but I think you could tell how much it meant to him by his face when he scored that try.

What a great year this kid has had. Thanks for bringing some pride back into the jersey.
TBF I think that reaction was more to do with him getting us a home final.
 
The all blacks are wild. I've always wondered... Who would win 2010 ABs Vs. 2010 Maroons (if they were brought up playing the same game)

Match ups like
Smith v smith
Carter v Thurston
Nonu v Inglis
C. Smith v Lockyer
Dagg v Slater

Weirdly similar match ups / body shapes but I reckon QLD would win... That's the only year though. 2018 blacks would probably beat 2018 kangaroos

I seriously haven’t even heard of any of those rugby players except for Carter but have never seen him play
 
Which game did he start kicking for us? Was it round 3? Imagine if he'd kicked the first couple of games!
 
This guy sums up the Sydney bias against us.

  • Has played the whole season.
  • Highest point scorer in the game
  • Has won us several games under extremely high pressure situations
  • Has had some incredible moments (the try to win it against the Roosters as one example).
Yet some of the Sydney media still have guys like Ramian and Brimson as legit options over him for ROTY.

Imagine if Kalyn Ponga or someone else had scored that try against the Roosters at the death, they would still be talking about it next year.
 
Don’t know why everyone is getting so worked up over hypotheticals. Isaako will easily win ROTY purely for the fact he has played half a season more than the likes of Brimson and Ramien when talent wise there isn’t a lot between them. Pretty sure games played plus the fact he was top pointscorer will work in his favour big time. If Brimson had of played the whole season and in the form he is in now he would have been probably the favourite. Ramien is half decent but hasn’t played enough or done enough for mine.

The reality is they have to talk about other options.....purely so they can talk about it. That said, it would be nice if one of them said they thought he was a shoe-in.
 
Met him at Garden City on Sunday around 12.30 and found him to be such a wonderful young bloke. Had a photo taken with my Missus and asked him what was he doing as he had a game that arvo. His reply - "Just finishing breakfast". Wish him well.
