that's probably my three. Just haven't worked out the order.
X 23 Samu Kerevi
2 Alan Alaalaaataoaaaaaa (I am sure I have missed a few As)
1 Isi Naisarani
Pretty hard exercise. Wouldn't it be better to do it for each of the franchises? then work it from those results
I'll go with Slim.

Haha - well, I was almost going to give HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) the 1 point - partly because he had a cracker of a year and partly because I love the thought of a half crazed ginger headed prop giving it to much more fancied opposition. (But it would have been a bit rude to give points to someone from the Tahs who wasn’t Michael Hooper).That would weight the top players from each franchise the same though. If that exercise was to create a shortlist then it might have value but surely the shortlist is pretty simple with relatively little room to move.
Brumbies - Ala'alatoa, Arnold, Fainga'a. You could make a case for a few other players but I don't think they are nearly as strong.
Rebels - Naisarani, Philip, Koroibete
Reds - Kerevi, daylight, McDermott, Rodda or Hegarty
Tahs - Hooper, daylight, Harry Johnson-Holmes
