I think Westwood SHOULD win it, although I think Tomkins will.

Lynch wont get nominated but if he did it would be fully deserved. He's single handedly carried Hulls pack through a terrible spell of injuries.

Lynch is a hard worker but he doesn't have the same winning mentality as the top forwards IMO. That's the reason why he's been overlooked for international selection by the likes of Brian Noble, Tony Smith and Steve McNamara, two of whom had coached him at club level. You'd think they'd know if he was any good. He's more of a Brett Delaney than a Paul Gallen.

Tomkins should win it.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The guy is a professional a player as you could hope to come across by all accounts. What exactly is he missing?

Lynch's strength is his consistency over the entire season. He makes good metres, defends well and does long minutes pretty much every game.
There are forwards who can make more metres, tackle busts and offloads than him in a particular game, which is why he's probably been overlooked for internationals, but few who can maintain the same level of consistency over an entire season IMO.

It's his proffesionalism and consistency that I think make him a good candidate for MOS.

Hep Cahill.

I realise players like him will get lost in the jizz ridden fuss over players from 'big' teams, but the man has been a machine from start to finish this season, an absolute MACHINE.
