Nah he went through a slump for a month or so.

I think Clarke would be the correct player to receive it.

Jamie Peacock (36) will win it.

Chris Hill. Consistently a star performer week on week.

+1

The way things are going, he might win it next year.

i honestly don't think there has been an out and out candidate this year, even getting a shortlist together will be tricky. sign of an even competition or a real concerning lack of star names at the moment?

Tommy Makinson one of the top try scorers this year should be MOS

Can't argue with the case for Clark but sincerely believe that Hills endeavours this year have been phenomenal. He has had the added pressure of having to carry the torch now that the Morley/Carvell power house had moved on and has surpassed expectations.

Hilly all the way

Agreed. But in answer to your question it is the latter.

here's a quick update on this

Hill has still played 4 more games than Peacock, btw.

To me those stats say they are both good players and there's not much to chose between them.

Look at the average gain. Massively in Hill's favour. Hitting that average with that high number of meters is very impressive.

James Graham won the award in 2008, go back and check the stats for that year, sorted by metres. Graham, Peacock and Lynch were all close. You do the maths to see how you think Hilly's stats will compare by the end of the year.

Elliott Whitehead at Catalans could be in with a shout

Hardly noticed Hill for the first hour today, but I don't think Peacock should've got MotM, thought it was McGuire personally.

Agree. I think the BBC had almost decided Peacock would be man of the match in the first half!

I'd have gone for either McGuire or Sinfield.

think is, with kylie and peacock on we looked in control and had go forward. sub them for waste of space kirke and bailey who did ok and we struggled. peacocks presence was invaluable today

I think we can wipe Chris Hill off the shortlist after JP was by far the dominant prop.

Toss up between JP and Clark in the final. If either player has a stormer then that will probably be remembered and win the votes.

I thought the CC had no bearing on MOS?

What did Peacock do that Hill didn't?

Clarke is ahead of everyone in the race for MoS

Are you serious?



He's very good but scooting quickly from dummy half, after his team mate's taken 2-3 steps off the mark, 300 times a season doesn't make him a MOS.

Such an utterly ridiculous statement about a player you've probably seen play a handful of times.

Seen him play many times thanks and if the refs ever decide to enforce the rules around the PTB his stats will take a massive hit.
He's still better than Aiton though

If scooting from dummy half gets you 12 tries, 6 assists, 590 tackles, 2,637 metres made, 92 tackle busts then I am more than happy. I guess Peacock's 1 try more than makes up for it.
