Robbie Farah?

Question

If Farah lost to Thurston by 1 point then that would mean he is the 2nd best player this year, then Why if Thurston is injured is it Cameron Smith and Not Robbie Farah that is picked for hooker ?

Answer 1

bcoz smith can goal kick aswell and with thurston out some1 needs 2 do it and also smith can captain a tougher question would be why isnt matty bowen in the squad? fullback of the year they say hes to small for international footy but look at the greatest kiwi of all time stacey jones hes super small and still produced at international level

Answer 2

Because you can't necessarily trust the Dally M's. Also, the Dally M Medal takes into account the entire season, while Cameron Smith has probably played better during the last couple of months. And certainly being the Captain of the premiership winning side doesn't  hurt your chances : )

And plus the Australian side needs a good captain, and if they didn't pick Smith, who would fill in?
