Ridiculous. Widnes team of the year is the biggest scandal. Who voted for that? If it's the RFL, they need to leave NOW. After the televised cup farce, that club should have been facing sanctions not getting awards.

Clarke getting MOS as well as young player? Has he been that good? Has he been better than James Roby? Is he better than James Roby. Of course he's not and of course he hasn't been. Again, which idiots decided that one? Player vote for shortlist, then journalists get involved? Committee? How does this rubbish work?

Not quite correct.

The MoS shortlist was arrived at via a vote by the players.

However, the selection from that shortlist is by a panel consisting of two ex-players and two media stooges.

Not quite, the top 3 or 4 players with the most votes are shortlisted, and the winner is selected by a committee (of secret people, who meet in a secret place at a secret time).

It's a specially convened panel designed to annoy fans of clubs whose players don't win. HTH

Cas players have won it 3 times in super league era Leeds only once. What's that all about. Clarke is a poor choice as stated Roby has been far better. And peacock and hill head and shoulders above him.

Bit pathetic but so is your desperate attempt at trying to point to some kind of rhino bias at RFL HQ.The fact a Leeds player still hasn't won it in 15 years yet won multiple SL titles in that time blows that theory out of the water really.

Well if we're just going on the best player in the big game, James Roby wins it. Peacock didn't really do much in Leeds's play-off defeat. Fact is it is the best play throughout the whole season. If we had a system similar to the Dally M, Clark would have won it IMHO

All 4 could have won it, and I wouldn't have complained at any of the 4 scooping it.

Care to point out where I've indicated any kind of RFL bias towards the Whinos?

Quote: Biff Tannen "The fact a Leeds player still hasn't won it in 15 years yet won multiple SL titles in that time blows that theory out of the water really.'"

Which Leeds player deserved to win it in the last 15 years and in what year?

Back the bid - not back it until the going gets tough. WTID:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40663.png



Just for all you I'll informed keyboard warriors making claims about Widnes:

We did beat a SL team to get to the semi final (Salford away)

Scraped into the play offs ? In fact we made the play offs by quite a bit and we were never out of the top 8 all year - some achievement for a club who finished bottom 2 years ago

Not made strives with the academy ? The only teams who were voted to have a better academy were St Helens and Wigan, this years two Grand finalists. We were tied with Warrington just behind. Another great effort

The fans situation was horrendous for the club. However we reacted with great professionalism in eradicating these fans and banning them, apart from that we have some of the best fans (true fans) in the league. Definitely the loudest and the only ones creating an atmosphere on the first day of the magic weekend

I as many of you were surprised by this vote, really didn't see it coming at all but just because you disagree with it, don't be naive to the fact what Wisnes have achieved in the last 3 years. Were a club on the rise
