New Year's Day 1996 during the shortened Centenary season. Leeds won 20-14 as well so perhaps a good luck omen that it's been recalled this week.

1996....the season Leeds were nearly relegated?

I did like the Centenary Shirts though.

Huddersfield are a team as are Saints. They get plenty of awards. What about snubbing Bluey 2 years in a row? There are plenty of individuals within our team who have desrved recognition over the last 6 years.

I know we have nothing to prove and I know we shoudn't lack motivation but if you can use it, use it.

I'm happy to let these clubs who win nothing/win trophies that mean naff all keep taking these individual awards.

Agree, there is a potential to use this as motivation.

Was talking to Stanley Gene last night who mentioned that he had voted for Hodgson but regretted that vote after seeing him in the play-offs as he didn't perform. I believe that the voting took place the week before Round 27.

I was too but you know what, its' starting to nark me.

Look at Peacock. A lot on the line Friday and look at the display he gave. Look at the display he gave in the 2007 final.

You're telling me that in 2004 when we romped to the title in record fashion Andy frikkin Farrell was more meritorious than Sinfield?

2007 Rob Burrow had a great season, won the Harry Sunderland and was GB player of the series against NZ. Not even discussed.

Pah, there's an agenda here and just because I am paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get me.

How can a team that only managed to get 4,200 win the club of the year?

Interesting. I wonder if theres any reason that the man of steel or indeed the voting for it has to take place before the most important and allegedly most intense games of the season take place.

Brett Hodgson also the official most error prone player for the 2009 season.

I noted that the other day!

should be re-named the flat track bully man of steel award.*

theres only one way of determining the team of the year and thats happening on saturday. Any other measure is meaningless rubbish.

The MOS has become a bit of a joke allowing players to let personal differences and animosity get in the way of measuring the stand out player of any given season. It should be back in the hands of the media who in theory at least are impartial. Better still why not have a fans vote for MOS from a shortlist selected by a RL writers panel. If this was done by text or phone vote it could be a great means of raising revenue for the benevolent fund or similar. Whilst this runs the risk of favouring the bigger supported clubs I think most RL fans would be capable of selcting fairly from a shortlist of 5-10 players.

Not half.

Give it back to the journos.

Agree with everything G1 has said on this thread.
