Do you not have to have made your debut this season to be considered for Young Player? Always thought that was the case.

Tomkins and Hardaker for me too. Been very impressed by Jones but Hardaker has a bit more about him at this moment in time.

Nope, didn't Tomkins win it twice in a row?

Any of the first 3, and Hardaker for me.

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



Tomkins best player in Superleague, but not a MAN of STEEL, if I was neutral probably go for Westwood he fits the descript.

I'm undecided. I don't think Tomkins has played as well this year as last year, although i still think Chase deserved MOS last year. Tomkins can produce sublime bits of play, but i haven't seen him take a big game by the scruff of the neck. Leeds game where he had a bit of a mare and the Warrington game where he didn't do much stick in my mind, but then again so does the game at Manchester where he ripped Saints to pieces. The big games Westwood relishes and normally produces even more then what we normally see. That battle against Hock was worth the Sky money alone. I am a surprised Hock isn't nominated in all honesty.

Westwood for me just but any of them could win it.

This

Westwood is simply a machine, the bigger the game, the better the opposition the more he stands out.
What a second row partnership for England,him and Hock.

Got to be Westwood, he is an absolute machine. Players must take a look first before running in his direction to try and avoid him.

As good as Tomkins is in attack, he is defensively poor and goes missing in the big games. Needs to improve under the kick and with that his confidence will boost, as if he drops one or two his confidence goes and he goes missing.

He looks a world beater against Mickey Mouse opposition but when put under pressure against better sides he isn't as effective.

England vs Australia.
Wigan vs Warrington.
Wigan vs Leeds.

If you can pepper him with bombs early on, his confidence goes and he isn't the same player.

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png

Tomkins played well against the Aussies at Wembley. He played a big part in us slapping Leeds twice this year. Did you see him at the Etihad or on Good Friday v Saints? Or in the Cup QF and SF last year? Or ripping it up at the GF in 2010?

He's been quite effective against the better sides, aside from a few games. Even the best have off days icon_wink.gif

Westwood and Hardaker for me too.

Also surprised Hock isnt in there, but due to him being a bit of a D!ck I can see why he wouldnt get any votes.

Friday 28th March, 2014, a day that will live in infamy... [quote="Saddened!":fwnfr3rg]Whatever happens they have all been magnificent. Even Wello.[/quote:fwnfr3rg] [quote="Saddened!":fwnfr3rg]Lance Hohaia can have my babies after that show[/quote:fwnfr3rg] #theworldturnedupsidedown:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_61326.jpg



Roby is, for me, the most consistent player in SL and produces top class goods 80 mins per week for 27 rounds. Westwood is an animal (in a good way) and has been on fire for most of the season and can only hope he keeps that form up for 2013 World Cup. Tomkins is a freak (again in a good way), he is that good he can often only be at his best for 5-10 mins a game and that would be enough to win a game on his own for Wigan.

Biasedly, Roby gets my vote but wouldnt argue with any of 3 on that list and nice to see the 3 best players of they ear have made it
