It wasn't drugs was it? Wasn't he named as one of the NRL players suspected of being involved in blood tampering? Didn't they use animal proteins in blood transfusions to accelerate muscle growth or something?

So if we subtract the number of fans voting for one of their own team from the total number of votes cast this leaves us with ...

... THREE people? FOUR??

I think Roby is arguably the best player in the competition. I've never seen him have a bad game. He's been doing it for so long now it's expected of him and doesn't draw as much attention. Someone like Cuthbertson is performing way above expectation as such is attracting the media attention which is reflected on threads like this one. He deserves to be in with a shout but isn't head and shoulders above others as some are suggesting. I've not managed a live SL game this season as London are not there anymore. From the TV games I'd pick a shortlist (in no particular order) of Roby, Hill, Cuthbertson and Taia.

The problem with Roby is that he is a victim of his own high standard, he is world class and consistent most of the time and is probably handicapped because of it as far as MOS is concerned.

Roby is a complete machine and is having a ridiculous season. I'd dread to think where we'd be without him. As some have said, he's just a victim of his own high standards and doesn't really attract attention any more.
Also agree with the Cuthbertson shouts and Hill is always top class too, bit whiney last night though.
Walmsley is also killing it. Good season for props!

Roby's the type of guy who'd use the MoS trophy to prop open the potting shed door. Never seen anyone so good at flicking the switch on all things SL.

In the immortal words of Alan Rooney, "Well, James. Imagine how good you'd be if you were really interested!"

I believe Jamie Lyon did just that, left his MOS trophy behind the door at his rented house and flew back to OZ. Maybe Roby should have a special trophy to honour is superiority.

You can kinda see why a lot of Aussies fans hate him.

Because he plays for the love of the game and the team, not the individual plaudits?

On the topic of the best player, Walsmley ran for 174m on Thursday, making 35 tackles and 7 tackle busts. Chris Hill ran the ball for 96m, made 49 tackles but 0 tackle busts. Guess it depends what you place the most emphasis on for a prop. Roby has been so good for so long that you just accept it as standard for him now.

Roby
Cuthbertson
Burgees

I'd pic Roby from them 3 but all could be MOS this year?
