Pat Richards (Wigan Warriors)
Adrian Morley (Warrington Wolves)
Sam Tomkins (Wigan Warriors)

Suprised not to see Graham or Roby but from that its got to be Richards.

Wacked a Poll on to see who you think deserves it

Moz gets my vote.

I would love to see him win MOS.

Its a very good achievement by Richards to score so many points, but is it really worthy of Man of Steel? I don't think it is. Ade Gardner was top try scorer in 2008, but was that really worthy of Man Of Steel? No, he was no-where near. Richards is a good player, and is very steady for Wigan but he doesn't deserve the MOS IMO.

Out of the three, i'd give it Morley.

Hopefully The King will get some proper recognition on the night for his lifetime of acheivement.

dont really care about MOS, its not the same since they let the players vote for it icon_wink.gif

Shocked that there is no James Roby, he has been our stand out player by a mile and surely in the top 3 of the year?

But I've been convinced Paaaaat will win it for the past 3 months now.

Do we have any odds?

Quote: saint billy "Its a very good achievement by Richards to score so many points, but is it really worthy of Man of Steel? '"
A good question. The acheivement was no mean feat, and I don't wish to take away anything from Richards, but....
He's the goal kicker for the club that's top of the table, so normally that guy finishes top point scorer.
He's the no 1 winger for the club that finished top, so probability would lead you to expect him to be top try scorer....

Richards is a good winger, but is he a great player? As an opposition fan, does you heart stop when he gets the ball? Does he frustrate you with awesome defence? Does he lead from front? Does he dominate his opposition physically? Does he show a standard of ability that 90% of SL players simply don't have?

Would you take him over a Darren Albert or a Jason Robinson? Would you take him over a Tom Briscoe, if you had the choice?

Full credit to Richards. When they signed him as a centre, he looked like he was going to flop - he's seriously pulled things round. Dream team, top scorer and MOS contender. He certainly deserves a paaaaaat on the back.

Morley for me, Just my opinion, but i think MOS should be a forward unless a back has been truely astounding ala Lyon in 2005

Can't say it would bother me. Morley's been fantastic this year and would be a deserved winner, as would the other 2.

Morley and Richards I can understand but I honestly can't see that Tomkins has been that good as to deserve MOS. He is very good don't get me wrong but I don't think he's done enough this season for that award.

When Roby got it as a youngster many said he didn't deserve it but he was ripping teams apart on his own during that season - has Tomkins done that? To the same degree? I wait to be convinced.
