Shock bolter in No.9 race as three-way fullback shootout ignites: Dally M State of Play
It’s a three-horse race for the five-eighth spot this season between Cameron Munster, Ezra Mam and Cody Walker.
But playing alongside the conductor in Reynolds means often taking a back seat and being out of the spotlight, something that may count against Mam here. Daly Cherry-Evans had an impressive campaign and stepped up in the absence of Tom Trbojevic who was ruled out for season after tearing his pectoral in Origin.Cleary missed a chunk of the season with a hamstring injury, but was excellent to close out the season.
He recorded a competition-high 32 try assists to go with the most try contributions of any player, whilst also scoring eight tries. That leaves Addin Fonua-Blake, Lindsay Collins and James Fisher-Harris to fight it out for the last spot. He was labelled “the best prop in the competition” by league legend Corey Parker, and he also scored the third-most tries of any Warrior this year.Apisai Koroisau knew he was walking into a very different situation to what he was used to at Penrith when he joined the Tigers in the offseason.The Tigers may have sacked Tim Sheens and claimed another wooden spoon but the No.9 was a shining light.
The 26-year-old former Panther was simply excellent this season and earned lofty praise and a comparison to a future Immortal.
