Quote homme vaste="homme vaste"This really is a sad reflection of the society we live in, what should be one of the greatest nights of this lads life has been ruined by trolls on twitter and all over social media giving him stick for winning an award.
I don't think I have seen the lad have a poor game in 2 years, obviously he is a quality player and for me he has carried Castleford for a couple of seasons now, there is no doubt he has won them games, just because we don`t see him tearing up defences like French doesn't mean that he hasn't had the most influence on the games that he has played in, which is how you score points on the MOS rankings.
There have been a list of fantastic players this season, Coote, French, Sezer, Lomax, the list goes on but I think PS makes that list for me, anyway just a simple Congratulations Paul from me.'"
Its made me laugh, some of the journos, especially the Wigan ones, throwing their two penneth in about Kendall getting the gig on Friday and the mental health implications of all the criticism its drawn from “the trolls” whilst openly criticising the MoS system and McShane not deserving it as hes not been the best player this year. Imagine how McShane must be feeling reading all the comments saying he doesnt deserve it and hes not even been that good.
For me he epitomises the “Man of Steel”. Plays 80mins every week, in the middle, and walks off that pitch with nothing left to give, looking like hes been hit by a train.
Sure French, Coote and Sezer are great players, and do all the flashy stuff and get the headlines but it doesnt make McShane any less deserving of it. Farell. Im not a fan so.....
Biggest mistake we made letting McShane go. Well deserved. Could have got it in past years and should have played international already.
