He is a good player yeah but he isn't the best SL player ever IMO, from 2001 to 2004 Terry Newton was the best 9 in SL, James Lowes was better also but that's not to say Cunningham was bobbins he wasn't.

If Cunningham has been the best player of the SL era why hasn't he ever been close to winning the MOS award? I think my judgement on Cunningham is a little harsh due to him bottling it for GB on numerous occasions.

This isn't a Wigan fan bias against Saints because if Sean Long would have recieved the award I would have fully agreed.

Think you are a tad confused ! That is a reference to the Murrayfield CC Final when 1 on 1 Albert chose to run directly into a fullback who could barely walk all week leading up to the final for reasons that will remain only known to himself.

And the 2004 final at Cardiff when Albert was clear and Radders caught him and put him into touch in the corner, a better tackle than Murrayfield and one of the best I have ever seen.

crap post

Better than Cunningham's on Mark Smith at Knowsley Road April 1st 2002?

oh go on tell us another....

Yes that was hooker v hooker.
This was Radders v arguably the fastest winger in Rugby League at the time.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Yeah, The Wigan Team of his time were absolutely Shocking & He was Vastly overated!

PS

Seeing as it was only when the likes of himself & Faz retired/left the club did the house of cards come tumbling down kind of makes me think how good these players actually were!

"We don't need no education!"
Wise up old man. History is being re-written.
Farrell and the Ginger Doormat are but mere distractions to what is being played out.
Move along Wigoons, nothing to see here!

Obviously playing well, but compare his stats to the other sixes in the comp and he isnt that far clear.

So far this year Amos Roberts is head and shoulders above everyone, 10 tries, 6 assists, over 1000 metres made. Top class. If he keeps that form up there will only be one winner

If u compare the stats on Superleague.co.uk, there is no way Leon Pryce has been a MOS contender, Sam Tomkins probably just shades him and he hasn't been on fire yet this yr

It not chosen on stats though. Its chosen by the guys who see and play against said candidates.

There was a post on C&W about a superb sidestep Roberts did for a build up to a try - there's no stat on the website to account for that and about a million other things that go towards being a good (or bad) rugby player.

What do you think of the Radlisnki tackle on a walking Jon Wilkin that he somehow managed to miss?
