The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG |

|
At this stage I would think Richards and Graham are top contenders.

Tough decision this,there are quite a few players who are in the running for MOS.
IMO you could choose from either Eastmond,Graham,Roby,Pryce for the Saints.
Wigan,O'loughlin,Richards,Tomkins,Roberts.
Wire,Morley,King,Monaghan
Hudd,Brown
That's just a few of the top of my head.

But lets face it the current system is absolutely farcical. The last true Man of Steel was James Roby, the rest of them have just been given 'Most popular player of the Year' awards.
Lets say for example a Ryan Bailey (Unrealistic I know) or Terry Newton type character were without doubt the standout players in Super League. Those boys have as many haters as John Terry so wouldn't get many votes. The likes of Morley and Hodgson are easy votes because they are 'top blokes' as well as quality players.
I'd also like to know whether the players are given a blank piece of paper and asked to choose or whether they are restricted to a set number that have been shortlisted?

How popular is Kieron Cunningham with other teams?
He might get a sympathy vote like when the ageing Sean Connery got an Oscar for his 'Irish policeman' in the Untouchables.
Yesh, giv itch to K Shee

Monaghan is a stand out for Wires so far.

Pat Richards is like the Paul Scholes of rugby
put it this way if i could choose one player from SL to play for Wire it would be Pat every time.

Roberts was the stand out player (imo) until his injury. Eastmond has been great all season.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Amos Roberts was a clear favourite after 10 games but now I think its hime and Lockers. Not just saying that as a Wigan fan but together they have take the team to the next level and are the main reason we are top.
I have never really had a problem with just the top teams getting awards like this because they are there for a reason. This year we are a top team and our top players will be up there.
From Warrington Morley has been quality but hasn't been as good as last year IMO but certainly still a contender.
As for Eastmond just like Tomkins, still has a lot more to offer. Young player of the year IMO.

Kez has been excellent this year (so far) but if he is not the best player of the year he should'nt get MOS,and if i know Kez well enough he himself would say the exact same thing. |

| I used to get embroiled in Man Of Steel debates when Leeds were rubbish as well 
The last Leeds player to win it was Iestyn Harris 12 years ago.....when we were a one man team! Give me the days of league titles and players playing for each other any day of the year
Adrian Vowles won the MOS one season, and Leeds signed him.
The rest is history |

Amos Roberts.
Although James Graham and Sean O'Loughlin have also been superb.

Amos will have to get back to it very quickly. I've forgotten what he even looks like.
