Perhaps they are seeing things from an open minded and unbiased perspective

Bottom line is forwards have tried to stick together but the backs this year have had no leader, no plan and no idea hence why I think Kleinworst stood out as his objective seemed to be run in a forward & straight direction and put ball down when over the line.

a unique approach but strangely effective

As this is an award for player of the season many are ruled out because they have played so few games. Although both Watkins and Garbutt are contenders IMO they both had indifferent starts to the season. Garbutt was way overweight and got himself suspended and Watkins although putting in high tackle counts was for most of the season was in terrible attacking form when we really needed him to step up.

That leaves IMO JJB, Keinhorst and Burrow

Some will have your head for suggesting Burrow. He has been the cause of all our problems dontcha know

2nd highest metre make behind a pack that rarely dominated, the most clean breaks, the most assists, and relatively (for us) few errors.

JJB for me though, despite missing a fair chunk of the year, he has tackled like a demon and munched yards like they were the antidote.

All of our forwards looked like they'd skipped pre season this year. But that punch was one even JP would've been proud of and deserves special mention for player
Of the year.
Jimmy is the outright winner, when the chips were down he looked like the only one with any guile

When can we vote for this?

Found it in the OS but it says "unrecognised poll" has the voting ended?

I'd go for Keinhorst. He was putting in the performances when few others were.

Special mentions to JJB, Galloway and Garbutt

Yes, those four would be the ones i would say have contributed to a decent level expected for the majority of the year.Obviously the addition of Segeyaro helped everyone. Lilley was a rare bonus too, and the experience he has gained through these tough times should prove invaluable. Hopefully he won't have as much on his shoulders next year though.

A season to forget though as a whole and the back slapping needs to be kept to a minimum.

Galloway started slowly but really found his feet and had a good solid year for us, certainly as consistent as Garbutt if you consider the games Mitch missed early in the year.

For me though it has to be JJB, they stuff the guy has managed this year beggars belief coming off that injury, now he still good for a daft penalty or shoot out in defence, but he can take a great deal of pride from this year when not many others can.

Galloway sums Leeds season up perfectly.

Started awfully and got up to the dizzy heights of mediocre.

Yep agree with that. I think Lilley has done very well for such a young half playing in a team that has struggled for most of the year. I don't think it's a coincidence/chance there aren't many young halves in SL. With the change in role for both loose forward and full back, the halves have become much more about control, leadership and kicking than they were previously, and that only comes with experience.

Well glad the fans gave it to Jimmy K.

Club awards:
3rd Galloway
2nd JJB
1st Burrow

Interesting, ill just say that.

In a season where the biggest issues have been at Hooker and Half back, the award goes to ............

Lilley Shooting Star award and Keinhorst also won try of the season for his effort away at Saints.

As for the club's top 3, which is always a bit iffy as they managed to overlook both our MOS nominees last year in Cuthbertson and Hardaker.....well they've pretty much just picked the three guys who have played most with the exception of Watkins who probably got left out because he won last year.

Might as well write it now before it inevitably gets written by someone else......"Keinhorst winning our fans player of the year just shows how far this club has fallen, blah, blah, blah"

Always nice to see good work recognised. Well done to all concerned.
