They basically give it away for free (it's like 1 dollar for a year) on a lot of uni campuses. I did it once or twice when I was in school before I realised I shouldn't be giving them any money.
To be fair to Buzz (which i hate doing)... everyone's top 50 list would be cooked. If I done a top 20 list I'm sure I'd be ripped to pieces by you guys on here.
The dude just went b2b, controls the left edge of the panthers which has been pretty much unstoppable and led samoa with 3 mom’s in the world cup to a final. Not quite brooks like but pretty impressive
An awful lot of recency bias in his 50. Playing in the grand final or playing well in the world cup really helps. Ignoring all the Panthers players not really sure Sualli is that high (yet)
I think for a bit of fun it’s alright but I agree with what you’re saying. I think there’s a clear top 3 ( Munster, Teddy, Cleary) in no particular order and I think it’s pure pointless debate past that
I think you underestimate the difference a quality number 7 can make. While I agree you need quality players around them to make them shine but there's examples every year where a change to the number 7 position turns a club around. Look at the Raiders this season for instance, were wooden spooner contenders until they had Fogarty come in at round 12 and then went on to win most of their remaining games to make the 8. Same with cows were favourites to win the spoon, bring in Chad Townsend turns them into a top 4 team. It's a bit hard for a guy like Ponga to do much at the knights too since he barely plays. So injury prone, great player but his not there for his organising. Knights fans would understand how much of an impact a good number 7 makes, Joey was out half the season one year, the knights couldn't win a game, he came back and they won 8 out of their last 10 he played. So it wouldn't surprise me in the least if you took a guy like Cleary put him at a club that was struggling and turned them straight into a top 8 team with his excellent organisation skills. That's what quality halves can do.
Do ppl actually pay for the telegraph? Normally I just comment without reading the articles, but this one is tricky.
I know people who paid for SuperCoach Plus which includes a subscription I believe.

It’s Murdoch Media. I’m gonna take a stab and say no

Everyone shits on journos for having shit takes but the truth is all of our takes are shit and no one actually understands what's going on.
I'm sure the point of the list is to generate clicks from shit takes. If it was a fair top 50, no one would pay any attention.
Did you know the dally m winner is only the 32nd best player this year? Subscribe for more buzz facts
Which is weird given he’s a Shadk.
Without reading the article that’s just fucking stupid
Being a buzz article it should be easy to discern the top 5 players:
Wow can’t believe Soni Luke is number 5 on the list. Based
I couldn't grab the whole article, but this is what my snapshot gave me:
No one from the Warriors? What about whatshisname? Or that other fella?
Luai was top 5, latrell 6
I bolded the last paragraph to emphasise just how few brain cells Buzz has remaining.
I can only assume OP didn’t post the text because they couldn’t bring themselves to put their name to buzz’s horrendously cooked takes
Campo makes Buzz look stupid
Lol Luke brooks not in the top 10? Buzz is cooked
I'm sure he has some redeemable characteristics, but I really wish Buzz would just stop. His time is long gone and it is high time he moved on
This should be good
I'm not even gonna bother looking at the list, I just know it's gonna be fucking insane
Did buzz just come back after annual leave or some shit?
He drunk the house dry, thought he better pump something out while he was lucid.
When Buzz publishes his top 50 players you know the off season is off to a nice quite start.
did no one get the full article?
Spoiler: Buzz is cooked AF if he thinks that Luai is the 5th best player of 2022. Luai wasn't even in the top 5 halves of 2022.
After reading it in the paper, no1 can convince me Buzz is coherent. He is 100% lost the plot and proved he is on drugs with the shit he wrote.
The dude just went b2b, controls the left edge of the panthers which has been pretty much unstoppable and led samoa with 3 mom’s in the world cup to a final. Not quite brooks like but pretty impressive
Please post the list so we can all laugh along together
You want me to?
This is shite even for Buzz
Behind a paywall, no advertising allowed!
I knew Shaun Lane was the best player.
Nathan cleary, joey manu, teddy, munster and mitchell. Can't argue with that.
5 long minutes of work after the 7th glass of red for the morning and, viola, we have "Sports Journalism"

Lists like this are so stupid and lazy

It's a bit of fun I guess. Which players provide the most benefit for their team having them.

Really?? Who actually gives a fuck what this beetroot headed cunt thinks and why are we giving him Oxygen??
There’s only a top 3 in no particular order for this NRL season and it is Hynes, Edwards, Hunt.
Did Paul Kent make the list?
Wayde Egan not on the list so obviously has no merit
Says Moses is the second best HB in the game, but then proceeds to put Hunt ahead of him in the rankings. Well done Buzz!
I sometimes during the season watch NRL 360 on a Monday to watch Buzz get reemed.
Fuck off buzz you fossil
