I don’t know why Brough did it. He is an idiot is the most likely reason.

Listen Mr. Patronising, I and many other fans have probably been following Rugby League for far longer than you (me personally for over 60 years) so don't try teaching your grandma to suck eggs. You've got your opinion and we've got ours, live with it. The voting for MOS will not be affected by what you or we say.

Brough makes 1 clean break every 2 games. He has scored 7 tries in 27 games. Giants are 3rd on tries scored.

Got any stats on these vital kicks you say aren't recorded? Brough sits behind a pack & kicks for position, that's his game. And he kicks a few goals. Those attributes don't make him anywhere near fit to be MoS in my opinion.

Peaccock doesn't just play, he leads,inspires & gets the best out of those around him. That's why Leeds finished 3rd despite all the long term injuries. I have never seen Danny Brough produce anything that does such things. I've never seen him produce a piece of play that's lifted a crowd.

Look at what happened to Hudds when injuries hit last year, they crumbled. Where was Brough? In the pile of rubble with the rest of the team!!

Brough is up there in whose minds? Giants & a Hull fan who still love him for his goal kick at Cardiff?

Not a Leeds fan, sorry to disappoint

Well thats just rubbish. Brough has been sensational this season and has rightly recieved the accolades for it. You're now basically saying that he shouldn't be man of steel because they had a fully fit squad. Other than lead them to the league leaders shield what else could he do? Peackock has also been fantastic this season and either would be a worthy winner.

As someone on this thread said earlier, say why peacock should win, not why Brough shouldn't.

To be fair he's done both in his post.

You use the word sensational to describe Brough's performances. That's where you're going wrong. Nothing backs that claim up.

1 clean break every 2 games. 7 tries. he's top goalkicker in 2013, nothing else.

He leads his team around the park. Brough plays well, Huddersfield play well.

He doesn't lead. He is not a leader. He kicks well off the back of time & space created by those around him.

You use stats when it suits you but ignore them when they dont.

Who leads in 40 20s ?
How many penalties has Brough conceded compared to other halves

You started off comparing Brough to Sinfield yet Broughs stats are better.
Even then stats do not tell the whole story. Sinfield leads the Team, he is the captain, he calls the plays etc.
Any Leeds fan would tell you he is their most important player.

The same goes for Brough, he is the captain, he calls the plays, he decides whether to kick on the second tackle or the 6th. It is this decision making and kicking quality that determines to a large extent how the following set is played in attack and defence.

The problem with selectively choosing stats is that they do not tell the full picture. How many drop outs has Brough forced through his kicking ?

How many times has Brough being identified on the Boots n all stats pack as being the Giants most influential player

I will not bother with your posts in the future as you clearly dont understand the game of RL.

I would like Brough to win the man of Steel but would be equally content if it was to go to Peacock or Kirmond both of whom have had great seasons both as individuals and as part of their teams.

He kicks, he runs, he passes as well as any other half in the comp. Now be quiet.

DG quote his performance reviews against Wire, if you need help on google use words like invisible and anonymous, you'll find them quicker.
