Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"Roby has been our best player this year, as evidenced by winning POTY and players' POTY.
Gidley has had his worst season for us and wouldn't be anywhere near Saints' top5 this season, let alone MOS.
Is that good enough for you?'"
Well, I don't think Roby stood out particularly. But with those awards it would be hard to disagree.
I think Roby's a bit of a "quiet" player, as in he lets his Rugby do his talking. I suppose the best way to describe it is it doesn't seem like he gets "fired up", but he's a good player with a good Rugby head on him.
Wellens on the other hand, shouts and marshalls the defensive line like a good full back should. As does Sam Tomkins when he plays there.
Gidley gets involved, makes good breaks, backs up well, delivers speed and power, and pops up just where the opposition don't want. Alright, I've not seen any of the non-televised games which is all I can base my opinion on. But has he been that different in those?
Based on that, I think your "clueless" comment is a little much, I've based my post on the evidence I've seen.
Very unusual for a Saints player not to be in the running for MOS, but maybe that's what happens when the players decide rather than the press?
