Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"James Roby. There is no debate.
5000 metres. 5000. Five THOUSAND metres. FIVE thousand metres. FIVE THOUSAND METRES!!!
OMG!!!
Also done WAY more 40:20s than Lee Briers and WAY more assists than Michael 'He's so creative' Monaghan.'"
That 5000m is impressive only due to the fact that Saints play a style which sees them run from dummy half massively more than any other team.
As has been pointed out, Roby has 778 runs from dummy half. That means he is running from dummy half 30 times per game! He makes an average of 5.27m per carry.
Warrington don't play that style, and as a team have made almost 400 fewer runs from dummy half. Monaghan has made 342 runs from dummy half - 13 per game. He makes an average of 5.64m per carry.
Roby's defensive efforts are what stands out for me more than his work with the ball, as he completes around 40 tackles per match.
As for MOS, not overly fussed who wins it, there are probably half a dozen who have a case for it, but I don't buy the fact that it needs to be any more than the best player. Forget the leadership, toughness, respect etc. I'd be happy for any of the mentioned players to get it.
