James Roby? And that kills me to say being a Wigan fan. Saints are a completely different animal when he isn't playing.

I've never really had the Roby love. Taia has certainly been terrific.

Others who've gone well: Cuthbertson, Hardaker, Bateman...

Cuthbertson by a distance so far.

Taia for me. Carney has looked good but not sure he's been that good when he's been fit. Is there a number of games requirement for the MOS?

Chris Hill... Seems to be playing very well in a Warrington team that doesn't seem to be firing this year.

If we giving answers based on what could of been then Rangi Chase had he not been suspended. He's been superb when playing with a disrupted Salford.

Cuthbertson has been very good but I wouldn't be swapping Walmsley for him in a hurry.

From my own team I'd put forward Ellis or Minichiello

Hill was anonymous for the first 3 months of the season.

Taia, Cuthbertson and Kev Brown probably the best 3 so far.

Yeah from Hull I would say them two - unreal work rate, making breaks - Ellis' defence is brutal and non stop

another shout for minichiello here

are we talking best player on paper or is it based on the season's form and achievements so far?

The latter
