Ah, but it wasn't the year Roby won it - they changed it to a player vote the following year because Roby winning it was the 'worse decision in RL history'.

Further evidence that it was all a big stitch up to deny Barrett, who would have been the most worthy winner in the history of the game, his rightful award.

And there you go again, ignoring the programme by frivolously listing his 'alleged' attributes - I've told you, "his only asset is a quick scoot from dummy half, and the season he won MOS he only played around four minutes and twenty seconds all year. It was all part of an Anti Trent Barrett campaign, you see."

Repeat, until you believe it.

I think his best postion is coming off the bench at hooker but he's very good at loose forward. He's so strong for his size.

I think he played 13 against you men this year and was our best player.

Sinfield was awesome at hooker in four nations last year, not a big fan but IMO he was my player of the four nations.

Roby man of steel. Trent fook all!

Dissident fool.

Roby is a top class tackler, for a small fella he really does tackle above his weight.

Totally agree. Not only our best tackler but our best player IMO' he is absolutely fantastic. Every game is 100 percent and this season he as been ripping teams to bits. Although Wigan turned us over, roby was the best player on the pitch.

He's also very well respected in oz. He's a very good player.

Rob Burrow.

. . . . has missed nearly 3 times more of his attempted tackles than Roby

He's been our best player this season.

He has to get it right. We saw last season what happens to him when he doesn't! Whether he does have good technique or not I don't know because I am not watching tackling technique when I watch matches, but I for one have a lot of respect for Rocky. Not only is he a courageous guy to play at his size - which holds obvious extra risks - but he is generally very sportsmanlike and he gave me a great laugh against Hull the other week. Loved it.

Good tackler for his size but no where near as good as roby

He'd be good if he learnt to get his head out the way.

I can think of three occasions off the top of my head (no pun intended) where Rob Burrow has got his tackling technique all wrong, and as a result taken himself out of a match.

Lee Smith - he can tackle with his nose!

I think Phil Vievers is the best Saints all round tackler I've ever seen. But for sheer awesomeness, that'd be Scott Gibbs.
