Dureau/Ratchford for mine.

Ratchford

No brainer this one.

Roby, Dureau, Tomkins, Finch.

Patrick Ah Van

Tomkins for me with maybe Roby or Dureau as an outside bet. Saying that I was saying last year Tomkins or Roby and then Chase ended up winning it.

Roby for me. Although I think Tomkins will walk it.

No Wire player will be considered as they've played well as a unit all season. No individual has really stood out head and shoulders above the rest. If I had to pick one, I'd say Chris Hill.

Roby and Tompkins deserved favourites, from my club danny Houghton has been tremendous behind a pack with so many injuries, does not always have to be a star.

Remi Casty by a kilometer

I would be quite happy if Tomkins wins it. He is one of the few genuine superstars in SL and deserves to be recognised accordingly.

With my Leeds hat on I think Kevin Sinfield deserves to be in the mix this year. Pretty much the only time Tomkins was found wanting came in the CC semi against Leeds, and this was largely Sinfield's doing. He hasn't been as consistent, but a good performance in the final against Wire could bring him into contention.

Tomkins is the only contender for me, pointless having a shortlist, just announce it ahead of time.

dureau has been too inconsistent for me, but well see what he turns in in the next few games.

does this award depend on who the players think deserves it? or has it changed?

At Wire, Hill or Atkins

Lee Briers is the only one for me. Sam is not the full monty just yet.
