Why Inglis will be the 2012 Dally M Medalist

Well Josh I say he is lazy, because I observed his on field performances and demeanour at the Melbourne Storm and he has a flagmatic approach to his game and his life ... He was not always as committed to training, teamsmanship and structural plays as Smith, Slater and Cronk, as is why that when he tossed in his purple jersey, the gap he opened when he left has been so easily filled ... During Greg;s stint with the Storm, it was apparent that he was used as a try scoring tool rather then someone who could be relied on to set up plays and use his own initiative to come up with something that took nous and know how ... But, he is 4 years younger then his three good mates and that the age of maturity in all young people is 23 ... Smith, Slater and Cronk where instrumental in making sure that his natural talent for speed and strength where utilized to the maximum and GI is only starting to get a grasp of what he should be displaying as far as performance for a team, rather then just for himself and how to give everything you;ve got not only consistently but for 100% for 80 minutes - He still struggles with that and he knows it, but perhaps that's just his nature ... This was apparent in his first year at Souths where he deflated quite quickly and loss fitness ... He struggled without the structural play he was used to at the Storm and his mates went on to win their perspective Dally M's ... Since been given the #1 role at Souths he has set out to prove he is capable in that position, but he doesn't have what Billy Slater has and he isn't alone with that ... And, everyone who knows anything about rugby league or Billy Slater don't have to explain their opinons on that ... Just wait for Wednesday night if the scores are tied in the last minute and see if Queensland can pull a rabbit out of the hole with Billy Slater sitting on the sideline ...

Guys inglis is one of the best in the game and has been for a long time you guys dont know anything about rugby league there are only three if any that i would say are better than inglis and they are,billy 'the kid',JT which is obviously jonathen thurston,or cameron smith,that's it.so how can you say he's lazy he dosent get put up right up at the top of the nrl for nothing.people even say he could be the best fullback ever. =p

Hope Gallen gets it

Tony, You may have forgotten 2011, when the three Melbourne Storm players, Smith, Slater and Cronk where vying for the Dally M Player of the Year with only Benji Marshall and Johnathan Thurston having a chance of stopping Billy Slater scoring the most points and the prize ... All three Melbourne Storm players where awarded the Dally M for their perspective positions and are the very best of mates on and off the field as is why there will be a fair hole in the Maroon's team on Wednesday night without Slater running off his mates including still being good friends with GI ... Greg Inglis said today, that he is pleased Billy has left the door open for him to take his place at fullback for the Maroons, but he also realizes he will now have to work for the whole 80 minutes, instead of the 10 minutes he usually performs ... Greg Inglis is instinctively lazy and seems to pop up when there are set plays, although this year he has played a lot more proactive, then reactive ... Try scoring players usually rate highly in the allocation of the 1, 2, and 3 Dally M points ...

I think Inglis will finish very close to the top. The Melbourne Storm players will shoot each other in the arm with Cronk Slater and Smith jostling each other for the maximum points in each game. I would love to see Paul Gallen break through and win the award as a forward but i don't believe the sharks will win effort games for him to take the title. Ben Barba is a hot tip for the prize- I only see injury standing in his and Inglis' way. If the tigers go on another hot run don't be surprised if Marshall comes home with a quick flurry of threes a la Jarryd Hayne in 2009.

I don't know about everyone else, but, my guess it's a little bit early to call ... Just read that the money is on Ben Barba, and he could very well have earned enough respect to be considered, although, I really do detest the media adulation of any sportsman - It's not good for them professionally or personably ie Hayne and Carney - Some young men believe everything they read ... A rugby league season is long and arduous, with injuries playing a major part for a player to fall off the Dally M podium, goodness knows how many points Billy Slater has forgone, before his mid-season injury crisis ... Unfortunately for representative players they lose the right to earn Dally M points whilst representing their state or country and that includes a number of players vying for Dally M points table in 2012 ... I just wish the media would stop second guessing and at least have their so called experts add a little perspective into their opinions ... So, rselvage7 thankfully you aren't a betting man, and, you possibly have jumped in far too early ... I'd still like to watch the next 10 rounds, before I decide ... Dally M's have very few point between contenders and already Billy Slater, last years winner, may have slipped out of contention ... However, being an optimist I've got everything crossed he'll recover to well and truly threaten the other Dally M hopefuls ...

he will be lucky to stay on the field long enough to gather the points. A perennial injury prone media darling.
