Roby. An absolute machine. He appears to be literally made of steel.
You used to have MOS and 1st division player of the year, which carried slightly different connotations. For instance, in '95 Betts won MOS and Goulding won 1st Division POTY, which makes sense. The year before, Jiffy won both, which is an extra-remarkable feat.
MOS to honour the [isteel[/i it takes to get to the top, SLPOTY award to recognise the skills.
Every so often, you'll get a player that qualifies for both.

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

I didn't say anybody complaining when Harris won it in 98... was he a Man of Steel?
Or how about Jamie Lyon, was he a Man of Steel?
Or Roby in 2007, he won MOS by scooting very well and was second fiddle to KFC, was he a true Man of Steel?
The only reason anybody is complaining about the award now is because last year it was won by a Wigan player who had a huge influence on our champion team and people fear it could be another Wigan player again this year.

Got to be Roby; tough as teak, machine like reliability and importantly, goes about his business in a dignified and sportsmanlike manner.

When was the last time a player from a team finished outside the top 4 won MOS, nevermind from 6th?

| Quote: Dunbar "There is no problem with Richards playing for Ireland – his parents are Irish I understand and he clearly didn’t declare for Ireland just to play in the World Cup as he has continued to turn out for them in the lower key games such as the European Cup'"
Turned out for the Exiles though as an Aussie. |

A true Man of Steel besides being a very good player and influential, should show great sportmanship, honesty and respect to the opposition and be an ambassador to the game.
Unfortunately Tomkins dosn,t quite fit most of these parameters, the likes of Menzies and Roby do in bucketloads.

By not being Vomkinsesque in 2008.
Sculthorpe, Farrell, Peacock, Graham, Roby, Lyon................................................................................................................................................... T(V)omkins should not be associated with this previous lot, unless we are letting standards slip. |

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."
An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg |

Whilst I don't think Rangi will win it, he is definitely deserving of top 3, I reckon it was go S. Tompkins, Rangi, Roby.
