Dally M 2010, uncensored, unofficial and probably completely wrong opinions.

Coach of Year - Brian Smith, Roosters

Good decision. Brian Smith really has done an amazing thing with the Roosters this year.

Rookie of the Year - Matt Gillett, Broncos

There was no rookie more exciting than Matt Gillett. He was the favourite to win since round 1 haha.

Front rower of the Year - David Shillington, Canberra

Yeah why not, I really have nothing to say on this.

Second-rower of the Year - Sam Thaiday, Brisbane

Fo shizzle. Sammy has been in splendid form and really deserved this award.

Provan-Summons Medal (most popular player as voted by fans) - Todd Carney, Sydney Roosters

How did you 3 roosters fans get so many votes???

Hooker of the Year - Robbie Farah, Wests Tigers

Better than that cunt dog fucking anal bead Michael Ennis. Nathan Friend was unlucky to miss out.

Toyota Cup Player of the Year - Tariq Sims, Brisbane

I have no idea who this is. All I know is he's Ashton Sims' brother and they are both going to the Cowboys.

Winger of the Year - Akuila Uate, Newcastle

I don't like this......I don't know why though.

Captain of the Year - Braith Anasta, Roosters

BARF! Ewwww this makes me like wanna throw up and piss my panties. What about the captain of the Sharks(I have no idea who he is because I couldn't give a fuck) he captained the sharks without killing himself. The man deserves a fucking trophy, medal, badge and a night with Miranda Kerr.

Centre of the Year - Jamie Lyon, Manly

Didn't he only play like 8 games?? Why don't you give him 5/8 of the year as well, oh I've got it give him fucking prop of the year.

Fullback of the Year - Darius Boyd, St George Illawarra

This is just plain fucking stupid, two words JOSH DUGAN.

Five-eighth of the Year - Todd Carney, Roosters

Automatically won because he won the Dally M player of the year. I think Terry Campese would of been a top contender for this award.

Halfback of the Year - Scott Prince, Titans

FUCKING AWESOME, nuff said.

Lock of the Year - Luke Lewis, Penrith

Ehhhhhhh hmmmmm maybe Gallen, Ashley Harrison?? I don't know I can't pick between em.

Rep player of the Year - Bill Slater, Melbourne

I'm just gunna cut my dick off and throw it in the river.

Top Point-scorer -Michael Gordon, Penrith

I can't agree with this selection, I think Bryce Gibbs was deserving of this award.

Top Try-scorer - Akuila Uate, Newcastle

Can't fight the numbers.

Peter Frilingos Award for headline moments of 2010 - Jarryd Hayne, Parramatta

OH FUCK THIS FUCKING STUPID FUCKED SHIT!!! Nathan Gardner's 100m try against the Roosters was totally reeking of awesomeness.

Dally M Player of the Year - Todd Carney, Roosters

He has the shortest shorts.

wow

Wow wow wow. What a season we have had, wooden spooners turn into premiership contenders teams written off then find awesome awesome form. Over the next couple of days I'll give a full wrap up on the regular season and the dally ms until then you stay classy San Diego.

Racial slur controversy

Hmmm where to start......What pisses me off is people saying Timana shouldn't of ditched his team mates. What fucking team mates? Has any of them stood up and said anything? No, so fuck them! Andrew Johns made an unnecessary comment about a person's colour. People say 'Oh he just said black cunt but he is black so what's the problem', I'll tell you what the problem is. In this day and age we are still sweeping racist comments under the rug I couldn't give less of a fuck if he is racist or not it's still a racist comment. As a young Indigenous male it hurts me to hear that these comments are still being made, especially in a game I love so so so much. Timana did the right thing, why should he give his time and effort for a team that didn't take a stand against the racist comment.

The decision on Jarryd Hayne

Wow looks like we are in for a game for origin 2. A lot of people think the the decision on Jarryd hayne being allowed to play is unfair. I got one thing to say about it JUST HARDEN THE FUCK UP! If Billy Slater can get away with throwing elbows why can't Jarryd get away with a love tap. It makes for even more venom in origin 2.

Long time no blogging

Sorry for not blogging. As you know I recently moved to Brisbane to undertake a traineeship, well i got fired last week and have moved back home. So I'd like to welcome myself back and hope to get right back into blogging. Blogs will talk about the storm scandal(because i haven't had a chance to put my 2 cents in yet), Kurt Gidley is a cunt(how can you be captain of a team when you're not even on the run on side????) and also the decision on Jarryd Hayne.

My NRL Dream Team

My NRL dream team: 1.Jarryd hayne 2.Greg Inglis 3.Kevin Gordon 4.Beau Ryan 5.David Mead 6.Scott Prince 7.Johnathan Thurston 8.Jason Cayless 9.Nathan Friend 10.Sam Burgess 11.Garreth Ellis 12.Ashley Harrison 13.Ben Creagh 14.Isaac Luke 15.Benji Marshall 16.Anthony Watmough 17.Preston Campbell, what an awesome team!

My reply to Artie Beetson

Dear Mr. Beetson,

Before continuing with this message may I just say I respect you very much as an Aboriginal and QLD player. I just have to say as a young indigenous player nothing would give me greater pride and pleasure then to play for my people. Our people haven't had a lot, so pulling on an indigenous jersey and running onto the field would give me more excitement and pride then a QLD or AUS jersey would. I would happily sacrifice both for 1 chance to play for my people. Aboriginal players should strive to play for AUS but I think if given the choice they should stand up and play for their people. The All Stars game filled me with more pride then I have ever known. In 2013 nothing would make me prouder then have all indigenous side in the world cup. No matter how we do in the tournament nothing will ever take the pride i feel.

Yours sincerely,

Matthew McCarthy

What really cooks my goose!

Why? Was the first thing I asked myself when I read that the AUS v NZ test match was being moved to Melbourne. The only stupider idea I could come up with was having it Tasmania(you know that vagina looking state we have that no one cares about, seriously we care more about NZ then Tasmania). I have only been to one rugby league game and that was the All Stars game but with my move to Brisbane I was looking forward and even getting excited about going to a test match. Thank you ARL you have made this grown man cry. Now I will not be sitting there feeling the intensity of the haka, the brotherhood of the Kangaroos standing as one in a wall of comradery, the cheers for the Kangaroos, the cheers for the Kiwis(I will cheer for the Kiwis). You have taken our games showpiece right out from underneath us, right from the heart of Australian Rugby League, the heart I am talking about is QLD!!! Yet you decide to move the match to a state where the majority don't care about rugby league or even know what it is. ARL here's a big fuck you!

Round 1 Tipping

Brisbane Broncos v North Queensland Cowboys.

I'm going to tip broncos in the 2010 season opener. The Broncos had a dreadful season last year and have taken a beating in the media. So they will be looking to perform to prove the media wrong. Stand out players will be: Willie Mason(COW) and Darren Lockyer(BRO)

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs v Newcastle Knights.

Bulldogs will be wanting to prove that last year wasn't a fluke. That is why my tip is for the Bulldogs. The Knights may be impressive under new coach Rick Stone but at the end of the day Newcastle are softcocks. Stand out players will be: Ben Roberts(BULL) and Junior Sau(KNI)

Parramatta Eels v St George-Illawarra Dragons.

I couldn't pick between the two. Both have their pros and cons. Dragons are great in attack ad defence but no longer have the big dell's momentum. Eels ran flat out non stop to the '09 grand final. My tip is it will be a good game. Stand out players will be: Jeff Robson(EEL) and Jaime Soward(DRA)

Penrith Panthers v Canberra Raiders.

Does Michael Jennings ever not have a good running game? If he does the Raiders will be praying that he has a bad one in round 1. With receiving both State of Origin and Aus jerseys last year Jennings will be looking to cement his place in the NRL this year. Also Petro Civoniceva should have a big game after being absent last year. My tip is with the Panthers. Stand out players will be: Michael Jennings(PAN) and Terry Campese(RAI)

South Sydney Rabbitohs v Sydney Roosters.

Asotasi, Burgess and Taylor nuff said. Tip is for the rabbits. Stand out players will be: Sam Burgess(RAB) and Todd Carney(ROO)

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v Melbourne Storm.

2009 Premiers against the near wooden spooners, do i really need to say more? Stand out players will be: Greg Inglis(STO) and Scott Porter(SHA)

Gold Coast Titans v New Zealand Warriors.

Now both teams have made big buys in their halves. Titans with Greg Bird and Warriors with Brett Seymour. Warriors will do well this season but not in their first match of the season because it might take a while to get the halves combining well. So i'm tipping the Titans to start their great home record all over again this year. Stand out players will be: Scott Prince(GCT) and Brett Seymour(WAR)

Wests Tigers v Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles.

Tigers are still facing a number 7 dilemma. Manly have lost a number of big players since '09 and I don't think they can recover in time for round 1. I'm tipping the Tigers to win not by much because it will be a close game. Stand out players will be: Beau Ryan(WST) and Anthony Watmough(SEA)

2013 World Cup

I just read that 20 nations will be making a bid for the 2013 world cup in England but only 14 will make it with two of those nation qualifying through tournaments in the northern and southern hemisphere.

Big off season buys.

Rabbitohs and Titans have made some pretty big off season buys. The Titans with controversial former NSW and AUS representative Greg Bird. I am hoping that Bird can put his past behind him and resurrect his NRL career on the Gold Coast. He may also be able to win back his blues jersey espically with NSW look at a 5th successive State of Origin series loss.

Now on to the team that could. The Rabbits lost their coach Jason Taylor in a highly publicised incident involving outgoing rabbit David Fa'logo. He has been replaced with experienced coach John Lang. Lang formerly coached Cronulla Sharks and Penrith Panthers winning a premiership with the latter. The rabbits have a forward pack to be feared with Roy Asotasi, English sensation Sam Burgess, centre in a props body Dave Taylor, Enforcer Michael Crocker, Eddy Pettybourne and also Ben Ross. They have the forward pack to go all the way but I think their backs might be the let down for them. Chris Sandow failed to impress in '09 after winning rookie of the year in '08 but he was having family difficulties in '09 so lets hope he has a good one this year. John Sutton was also victim to indifferent form.

Sam Burgess has only played 10 minutes in a trial match against Manly and yet Lang had enough confidence in him to allow him to play for the NRL All Stars. Being a bit skeptical of all the hype he really impressed me in that match. You wouldn't of thought he has only had 10mins experience in the NRL and that being in a trial match. Burgess brings with him youth a good offload and bone rattling D.

Dave Taylor left us in shock and awe at the back end of last season. While the Broncos were in a slump and Broncos fans everywhere were down, Dave Taylor should us looks can be deceiving. Who would of thought such a big man can be as fleet footed and agile as a cat. I referred to him as a centre in a props body earlier, I know think of him as a 5/8 in a props body. He has everything a modern prop should have, good footwork close to the line, a strong offload ability, a great passing game and even a little speed to boot.

I am hoping that Souths can make it to the top 8 this year. If they don't, I don't think there is much more they can do.

So far So good in the NRL but not in the ESL

No off field controversies to speak of yet in the NRL. Which is a good sign considering last year with Brett Stewart's sexual assault allegations and Anthony Watmough punching a Manly sponsor. Could this mean a less disruptive off field season? The same unfortunately cannot be said for our brother competition the ESL(English Super League). Recently Terry Newton former Great Britain hooker admited to taking human growth hormone(HGH). This might also mean the end to Newton's career because he is facing a 2 year ban for doping.

Newton had 15 caps for Great Britain. Also England and Wigan forward Gareth Hock is serving a 2 year ban after testing positive to cocaine.
