Who was halfback of the year?? ... and personally, as much as I agree Hayne had a sensational (second half of season) run with Parra, and a great Origin, I think International Player of the Year (IPY) should be awarded post international matches. How does one seriously compare across continents: Hall to Morris etc. IPY awards should be based on one's performance for their respective nation, when judged against other internationals of similar ilk. If that means we have to wait 2 years for the awards, so be it, make them bi-annual. Fullback – Hayne
Wing – Hall
Centre – Inglis
5/8 – Marshall
Lock – Sinfield
2nd Row – Ellis
Prop – Moi Moi
Hooker – Smith

Let's see if we can fire up another code war, eh, it's been all of fifteen minutes. I’d suspect his manager would be responsible for any beat-up, but thanks for your constructive contribution, bever.

Good luck to him - he's a terrific player - I don't think an AFL switch was ever seriously considered. Just heard that Hayne has definitely renewed with Parra.

Surely not a beat up .... by the league boys to fire up the bogan westies.
