That is just an idiotic statement. Sam Tomkins is the best player in Super League by far. |

if he was the best player in SL by far, then why didn't his fellow players vote him player of the season? |

| Quote: Beverley red "What has the standard your team plays at got to do with how well you played, it is how the individual plays & the level that they achive in thier perfomance in the year, I would argue Rangi Chase performed heroics in a poor side & it was him that got Cas two or even three places higher than they would have. You can even argue that players in the lower divisions have played a greater part in thier sides season & carried thier teams whole season on thier efforts. Being a succsess is more than finishing on top it is about contibuting to the game & your team. But I would not expect the worshipers of everything Australian to agree.'"
Chase made his name against the poorer sides - his impact was significantly diminished when Cas came up against the better sides - the fact they didn't even make the play offs says much. Are you seriously suggesting a player from the NL could be crown world player of the year because his impact on his side was greater than a far superior player's impact on his? |

How is Jharal Yow Yeh considered a rookie? He played the entire 2010 season I'm sure and debuted in 2009.

| Quote: Sal Paradise "Some posters on here are deluded - the top sides in SL would not be able to compete with the top sides in the NRL. The physical fitness, speed and power these sides possess would be far too much for any SL side add that the superior technical ability and you only have one possible outcome over a season - embarrassment.
Billy Slater plays in the best league in the world and performs to a high standard on a consistent basis - Tomkins plays in an inferior league at a significantly lesser standard, his performances towards the back enf of the season were average at best. Why anyone think he is a better player than Billy Slater!! The same can be said when comparing to Roby to Smith - simply different quality levels.
It is no surprise all the awards went to the NRL players; it is the best league with the best players.'"
People think because SL sides get up for a ONE OFF game, that our best are as good as there best. Over a full season I think the results would be telling.
There's 1, maybe 2, SL sides a year that are top 8 potential in NRL if you ask me |

The official criteriaRookies are deemed to be players who were under 21 at the start of the voting period – October 4, 2010 to October 8, 2011 – and who made their full international debut in that time. No Super League players met the criteria for 2011 Rookie of the Year.'"

The Man of Steel award is not the be-all and end-all for me. Sam Tomkins RLWA Player of the Year 2011? You can't really see the following happening for Rangi Chase.....
'Wigan have already taken advantage of the relaxation of the regulations to top up the salary of England full-back Sam Tomkins which they say will comfortably make him the best-paid player in rugby league.' |

Absolutely. He just has that 'x-factor' that very few players have. I have no doubt that he will go on to become one of the games all-time greats. |

I think Ben Westwood is absolutely fantastic. The man is just a machine, I would love to have him at the KC Stadium. |
