Taking nothing away from Gale (who I think has had a fine season) I wouldn't be using the goldthorp medal as any type of a barometer . I find it a bit of a joke really and when you see Todd Carney , Jacob Miller ,Luke Walsh , Hanbury , Robert Lui all above Ellis , Houghton or Solomona says it all . Getting chose by your fellow professionals is the biggest award you can hope for

Yeah I would say Gale either. I would however say he deserves a start for England over Matty smith.

1 cas player who has impressed me no end since his injury is junior moors. Outrageous .

Gale should have played in the 2nd test against the Kiwi's last year.
We were 1 game up and just didn't ask any questions of them in the 2nd test.
He's earned his chance and Smith isn't setting the world alight at Wigan.

Powell has a done a great5 job with the Cas offence and Gale, Dorn and Solomona all look superb when they have ball in hand.

Danny Houghton is a stand out IMO
Gareth Ellis a close 2nd

Sick of the Houghton bandwagon he has been a good club man and certainly gives 100 percent and I would like him at my club as 1 of 2 hookers but he's top tackler because he plays 80 min in middle of park.no one else does.alot of his tackles are 2nd 3rd man in.his scoots are decent his kicking is better than most hookers but his distribution is poor he looks great this season behind the dominant pack.id put sneyd and shaul in same bracket.not an anti fc thing as I do feel ellis foremost and Minichello and Taylor should be worthy winners..I don't feel Houghton is an international standard hooker but by the same token he's been consistent for a long time and deserves a chance to find out..Solomona or ellis for me

He also gets Hull on the front foot a lot by taking out markers with his scoots and clever dummy half play.
He's a bit one dimensional but he's very good at what he does and he has done it fairly consistently over the years so hardly a bandwagon.
