Ahh Tesco Building St Helens & Warrington's future Destroying Wigans past "Viva Ben Flower, Viva Ben Flower, could have won the cup but you Messed it up Viva Ben Flower":

There is a surprise a Wigan fan going for a Wigan player?

I'll go for Roby then

Roby for me, with Keith Lemon a close second.

Tough one this year, all 3 would be worthy winners.

Tomkins is in a league of his own - as a Wigan fan it's a privilege to watch him do things I've never seen any other players do - he leaves you in stunned silence or laughing in disbelief at times. But he can drift in and out of games and when a team works out how to defend against him his threat is vastly nullified. Has his weaknesses - can make the most stupid mistakes and his confidence under the high ball seems knocked this year.

Westwood is devastating - as a back rower he's up there with the very best. A massive tackler who puts in the hits at the right times, very hard to put down when given a yard, with the hands to compliment everything else, and of course can also kick. Can be a liability with his high shots and penalties.

Roby has a work-rate second to none both in gaining yards and in defence and seems to improve every year with power belying his size, but he can be a one-trick pony. When the markers and A/B defenders are on fire and watching him closely he can be contained fairly simply and his threat nullified.

I think it'll go to Westwood, and fully deserved.

If I had a vote, I'd vote for Westwood - it must be a bleedin' nightmare to line up in front of him and know that he's going to relentlessly knock the tar out of you for the next 80 minutes.

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!:



I'd vote for Westwood. Not simply as a wire but the fact that we are talking Man of STEEL, and they dont come tougher. The problem that Westwood might have is his lack of game time in recent weeks. Don't know if this will affect the votes.

All 3 very worthy winners but for me it as to be Sam Tomkins,The try he scored against Wakey at wakey was worth the Admission fee alone pure class

3 obvious choices for me.
From what i have seen both Westwood and Roby have been outstanding but as an opposition fan i fear Tomkins getting the ball every time and has been head and shoulders above the rest for most of the season.

Do you not have to have made your debut this season to be considered for Young Player? Always thought that was the case.

Tomkins and Hardaker for me too. Been very impressed by Jones but Hardaker has a bit more about him at this moment in time.

Nope, didn't Tomkins win it twice in a row?

Any of the first 3, and Hardaker for me.
