But he looked good in an average team under noble in his first season, in fact the lad managed to get into the england team after being in the reserves for half the season! He is an exceptional talent an exceptional player and at this moment in time the best in the world!

He won this one.

I would take your point if he only did it against poor teams, I really would.

He has scored brilliant tries against Warrington, Saints, Hudds, Leeds and Catalans this year as well.

You are a bitter man.

Anyone who didn't think Tomkins was MOS will probably have changed their mind after tonight, the boy is a freak.

The best young british player in the super league era.

It's only his second full season

Class

Blatant elbow to the face.

Agreed. He is such a dirty player. I like that as part of his game. A joy to watch. A true cheat of RL.

Richie Myler is better.....................................

Not as good as hodgson.

Roby is good but it has been close to impossible (barring St George) to defend against Sam T this season. The lad will need to go to the Nrl in the next season or 2 because it is becoming too easy for him in SL against our defences.

He's still a way to go on his current contract, which I'm glad about but in a way I hope he does play a season or 3 in Aus. He'd be a sensation down there.

Agreed. Hodgeson is also a better FB



Sam Tomkins will win MOS.

Wonder how the superleague players see it:

Roby (Man of Steel) top tackler and top metre maker who plays with a broken jaw, broken eye socket and a broken hand.

Tomkins (Man of Steal) top try scorer, top clean breaks, who plays by pretending to be injured and cheats against his fellow players.

For me Man of Steel is not a match winner, but is an individual with good seasonal form who shows great sportsmaship against his fellow players and is a good example to the code.
