Maybe because cherry Evans played origin and test footy and Ben hunt did not.
Knew he scored a try but didn't know he got a field goal.dowdz said:Matai only scored 7 points all year. Was shocked at that.

Cam Smith finished on 19 points.
James Segeyaro finished on 12 points.
Segeyaro never played test or origin footy, yet he won hooker of the year.

Brandy Alexander explained the process last night on 2UE.
The positional awards are independent of the points tally apart from the winner/s of course.
All the "judges" ( commentators, journos ) are asked to rank the players in positions on a 3, 2, 1 basis, they are tallied and the most points wins.
Seems like a fair enough system to me as it is taking their performances over the year as a whole and some teams have one dominant player that gets most of the weekly match points - eg Thurston and Hayne.
Also the weekly points are geared to reward players in winning teams.
Would be interesting if they published the points for the positional awards too.
Hayne v Inglis v Snake v Slater
Foz v Thurston
Graham v Scott
