#2 Manjeet Chillar (Tamil Thalaivas)
With 37 tackle points and 4 raid points from 15 games, Manjeet Chillar seems to have had a very good season and it did seem like that for the first few matches. But as the Thalaivas lost Ajay Thakur to injury, the lack of good leaders in the side plagued them and that's when Manjeet Chillar was expected to step in. But this leadership role didn't really suit him and that's when his season began to spiral downward.
His tackles became more and more reckless and his agility reduced. He often shifted positions between raids, disturbing the momentum of the younger players. It seemed like he was giving orders to the coach rather than listening to them. One disturbing fact was that on several occasions, he was seen blaming the youngsters for defensive errors when they were clearly his. His poor show of spirit and leadership is a major reason for the Thalaivas languishing at the bottom of the table.
Take, for example, the game against Patna Pirates which the Thalaivas lost 25-51. Manjeet 'attempted' 6 tackles but didn't get a single successful tackle. And towards the end of the match, he was pretty much going to the raider and touching him and sending him across the mid-line. This lack of intent and spirit from such a senior, reputed player affected the team a lot and despite the points, this has been Manjeet's worst season so far.
