Personally don't get all the hype around Chase. Has some good games but is appalling in others and plays to his own game plan often to the detrement of the team. Hasn't done enough this year to even get a nomination IMO.

Out of the 3 I'd have to go with Tomkins although his form has dipped towards the end of the season. I thought Monaghan would have had a shout at it personally.

For consistency throughout the whole season, workrate & ability to be at the heart of everything his side do, Roby for me.

Well he's certainly consistent.

778 scoots, averaging 29 - yes, 29! - a game! The next highest total was 371...

I Vote for chase, but ratboy will win it

Missing the hype around Chase, I've seen him put in some good set pieces but he's fairly predictable and he bottled the DG attempt which should have seen Cas in the CC final.

It's just Danny Orr all over again; stands out in a bad team but is terrible in a half way decent one.

So far the poll goes to show how close it is to call. Biased me says Robes, i personally dislike Tomkins but deeply respect him as a rugby player. Chase has carried a poor team into meritocracy almost single-handedly. All deserve the credit, shame for the two that don't win.

I dont remember orr ever being a terrible player, he looked very average at wigan because they tried to use him as a different style of player than he actually was (a bit like how they tried to use moran as an organiser). Leaving wigan was the best thing he could have done as he was allowed to play his natural game again.

Theres also the flip side of the argument would tompkins look as good in say the quins or wakey sides of this year having to get through more defensive work, be under more pressure, have less quality players around him and have less space to operate in? probably not.

Orr was above average when he was down at Quins.

Agreed.

Don't forget Roby's steely defense as well, made 1032 tackles, averaging over 40 tackles a game, despite being injured for 25% of the season.

He's missed 1 SL game, how does that equal 25% of the season?

Whose said he's missed any games, he's played about 5 or 6 games with 3 specific injuries we know of. Man of Steel stuff.

Stop stalking with triviality.
