Yep, with Darcy Gardiner it's three.

Three Lions who played against us are RSNs, the Saints have two as do the Giants.

We don't have very many at all for a bottom-range team.

It may well be rubbish award but it is an indicator of sorts and for us points to a significant shortage of real young talent.

There will always be specific anomalies. He also played 2 decent (but aberrant) career games.

I would think not getting a rising star nomination adds motivation - happy for no Dees to ever get one
