Hard to disagree - Probably Ward 3rd as he has had a good seaon and developed significantly this year

Stevie Ward has been immense. Cuthbo nice and flashy with the offloads, Zak and KW very entertaining and play with a lot of freedom and off the cuff. Ward is a coaches dream though. None stop tackling workhorse who does the unnoticed hard stuff

I totally agree on Ward. For me the only one mentioned that has been totally consistent. I would have had Cuthbertson there too. I wouldn't have had McGuire, due to the complete opposite of Ward, simply not consistent. Better on his day, but not consistent to have a player of the year vote.

Up until the One Halfback fiasco I'd say McGuire was consistent and would have been in contention. Aiton, Cuthbertson and Hardaker just edging him. I've no idea why Watkins has been chosen.

Ward has had a good year and has massive potential.

Watkins winning smacks of a 'keep him sweet' tactic - He does a lot of good things but also disappears a lot.

Ha, funny that was my first thought too.

Where's Mitch Achurch?

Injured!!!

Congratulations to Watkins. He's had a great season.

If he won an award he'd just drop it and break a toe.

Bizarrely Hardaker and Cuthbertson both shortlisted for MOS.
