One I probably wouldn't have had in any pre-season top 10's is the Panthers big man, JFH. To say he had a breakout season is a drastic understatement as he would have walked into any side in the competition.
Almost 180 metres made per game including over 1500 post contact metres, he also had 16 off-loads and 14 tackle breaks. He was an absolute rock for the Panthers all season.
An absolute machine in defence, he missed only 8% of his tackles, making 788 across the season. At 25 year's of age, he hasn't even reached his peak. Watch out 2021.
Paulo the 9th best prop?
Get a clue.
The Parramatta pair got a number one ranking for 2020, in another sites article mreel. So you’d be happy with that, being as biased as you are.
However, each club has 4 plus props in their top squads & there are 16 clubs. So number 9 is pretty good.
Paulo got a 6/ 10 rating in origin 3.
Parramatta failed to make the Grand Final yet again.
Number 9 may be a little light on? Still pretty close to the Mark.
By the way mreel…
2022, looks pretty bleak on the wings , for your eels. No Ferguson. No Sivo, if they don’t pay his contract upgrade.
The ‘Riff’ as you like to say. To’o & Staines. Will be Vastly Superior our wide.
Such is Life ! 😥
