Darren Lockyer will live to regret his explanation of Wally Lewis Medal

"Billy Slater was good in front of everyone," how Darren Lockyer explains how the Queensland captain won the Wally Lewis medal as the Origin series champion, despite the fact that he missed the first match following an injury. 19659002] Lockyer was one of three selectors with Mal Meninga and Laurie Daley. The three share 91 Origin caps and 131 Kangaroo caps, arguably the most experienced trio in the history of the code.

Yet the public outcry since Wednesday night has gone through the roof.

  Billy Slater

Billy Slater is presided over

And most importantly, it is the explanation of Lockyer who simply does not cut mustard.

As well as Slater played in the last two games, it was mathematically not possible that ""

Daley made a much more sensible explanation with "Billy Slater won just under the system".

And here lies the problem – the system is wrong

The three selectors gave 4-3-2-1 points for each of the three Origins, and that obviously turned out to be a ridiculous decision.

Future, the only method of fair points would be that the three selectors individually rate each original player who takes the field with points out of 10. The NRL has already announced that it is considering modifying the system

After three games, each player will have a total, and there is the winner of the man of the series.

I made this system for this series, and Slater does not. Was not very far ahead.In fact, it was far behind

According to the system that e I used, there were 15 players in front of Slater

James Tedesco (NSW) – 9.5 – 7 – 7 – total 23.5.
Valentine Holmes (Queensland) – 7.5 – 7.5 – 8.5 – 23.5
James Maloney (NSW) – 9 – 8 – 6 – 23.
Damien Cook (NSW) – 8.5 – 7 – 9, 5 – 23.
Tom Trbojevic (NSW) – 8.5 – 7 – 7.5 – 23.
Jake Trbojevic (NSW) – 7.5 – 7.5 – 8 – 23.
Boyd Cordner (NSW) – 8.5 – 7 – 7 – 22.5.
Dane Gagai (Queensland) – 8 – 7 – 6.5 – 21.5
Cameron Muster (Queensland) – 5.5 – 6.5 – 8 – 20.
Jack of Belin (NSW) – 6 – 8 – 6 – 20.
Tyson Frizell (NSW) – 7 – 6 – 7 – 20.
Gavin Cooper (Queensland) – 6 – 6 – 7.5 – 19.5.
David Klemmer (NSW) – 7 – 5.5 – 7 – 19.5.
Nathan Cleary (NSW) – 6 – 6.5 – 6.5 – 19.
Felese Kaufusi (Queensland) – 4 – 7 – 8 – 19.
Billy Slater (Queensland) – 0 – 8 – 9 – 17

Sharing a medal is not lit, so Tedesco wins on two points – he was on the winning side, and his best score of 9.5 was better than Holmes 8.5 [19659002] But the revealing statistic is ten of NSW, and five of Queensland, finished before Billy Slater.

To be fair, the look on Slater's face when Wally Lewis He placed the coveted medal around his neck, which was astonishing and unpleasant.

He knew it was not possible when he was playing only two of the three games.

And making the decision even more incredible, the selectors It was forbidden by the NRL to mathematically prove its decision

Now, it's up to the NRL to support the full bottle of points. out of ten awards to each player who takes the pitch in all three games.

If the NRL can find something better, I will be in complete agreement.

There is just one thing certain, points 4-3-2-1
