Tomkins - one trick pony but at the same time special talent, no doubt.

Morley for me.

And yes I agree the 'Man of Steel' has become an outdated title for the SL Player Of The Year.

Don't doubt he has talent but i don't think he's a M.O.S.
Fully agree with your last sentence.

Have they voted yet? I thought the players picked from the shortlist.

They should have Man of Steel for forward of the year, another for back of the year. And then an overall player of the year.

I don't agree with the "one trick pony" stuff levelled at Tomkins. People on here shudder when McGuire is labelled as such and Tomkins has as many assists as him this year.

The try he laid on with a couple of dummies then a cut out pass just last weekend was very good. He's shown he can be very dangerous from full back or stand off. He's got a very good short kicking game IMO (set up lots of tries with it last season when he was Wigan's go to kicker) and is still only young.

He's a cracking player I reckon, and it's not all down to a sidestep.

The original concept of the 'Man Of Steel' was to recognise the player or person who had had the biggest impact on the game from the winners of the various categories.

The Man Of Steel could in theory have been the young player of the year, the coach of the year or even the referee of the year.

Thankfully we've at least moved away from that possibility.

Wind ups aside, I'm forced to agree.

i think tomkins is geting a bit too big headed. i would like to see morley get it, i think he is a great player, a natural (and great) leader and a true gentleman of the pitch too. great ambassador for the game.

Should be seperate awards . Player Of The Year (most influential) , and Man Of Steel ( hardest barsteward ).
The title of MOS suggests a big hard , black boot-wearing 'lad' , when in fact it could be a biscuit-boned pink boot-wearing wuss that wins it .

Morley, Not even best player in a warrington shirt this year


Tomkins, Hold onto peoples arms, good one week crap the next


Richards, Chokes in big games when his good kicking is most needed,




My Nominations are

Mcguire, King, Chase

Obviously I'm inherently biased, but I think Roby has been the best player in SL this season.

McGuire and Chase would both have been worthy nominees, not sure about King.
