OK here is a progress tally (sort of like they do in the Dally Ms)(!)
In this case not so much to build excitement (lol) but simply because adding up all the votes is a bigger job than I thought. Which prompts me to give a massive thanks once again to @mosto who has run this great Silvertails feature for several years!
More to come when I get round to it
Meanwhile, here's the points tally up to Round 11, so relive some of the highs and lows from back when our season all began...
R1 v Cows
3 Tom TRBOJEVIC (109 votes) 2 CHERRY-EVANS (48) 1 OLAKAU'ATU (44)
No wonder Manly was tipped for a huge year with our big guns all firing
R2 v Warriors
3 SAAB (24 votes) 2 PASEKA (21) 1 HOPOATE 18
Saab the 3 points! That’s something you don’t see every day 😊
R 3 v Raiders
3 GARRICK (98 votes) 2 CHERRY-EVANS (83) 1 OLAKAU'ATU (49)
This was Garrick’s 4 try game plus a baby born so no shock he got the points. Some voters were calling for DCE to be extended but before voting closed for this round DCE made his notorious channel 9 appearance...
R 4 v Eels
3 TAUKEIAHO (46 votes) 2 OLAKAU'ATU (44) 1 BROOKS (31)
Haumole appears to injure shoulder in this game 🙁
R 5 v Storm
3 OLAKAUATU (60 votes) 2 KOULA (57) 1 HOPOATE (12)
Thrashed by Storm… noticeable that there are far fewer votes cast after a loss!
R 6 v Sharks
3 OLAKAUATU (60 votes) 2 FAULALO (32) 1 BROOKS (23)
R 7 v Dragons
3 HOPOATE (81 votes) 2 TAUKEIAHO (34) 1 SIMPKIN (22)
R 8 v Panthers
3 SIMPKIN (114 votes) 2 OLAKAUATU (85) 1 Tom TRBOJEVIC (23)

Some comments (!) from voters:
D$E - can’t stand the bloke but credit where it’s due
DCE - grievances aside, he deserves the 2 for this one
Clayton Faulalo 2nd Try
R 14 v Knights
3 OLAKAU’ATU (45 votes) 2 KOULA (30) 1 SIPLEY (13)
Very few votes put in for this game! After a bad loss I try to block the game out of my mind as quickly as possible ☹
