MOS Richard
YPOY Clarkson. This kid is something special and puts in 30+ tackles a game. Hasn't even had a full time pres season behind him. When he gets some muscle on him he will be very good.
Coach. MaGuire at this stage.......BUT.....too many imponderables to adjudge it yet. Whilst MaGuire has improved Wigan out of site what if Tony Smith or Brian Mclennan go on and lead their teams to the double. Is that not a greater achievement? Would it be right if Mclennan coached a team to his third and their fourth consecutive title and didn't win coach of the year once? Like I say, too many imponderables just yet.

I think that sums it up. I think really you want to give the MOS to a player that got their team to the top of the league (or at least the top 3/4). First choice would be a Wigan player but they have depended on having a great team rather than individuals (which is why Maguire is a shoe in for Coach of the Year). The same could be said for St.Helens so that leaves Warrington IMO.

I am not saying that Warrington are a bad team but there have been some great individual performers this year i.e. Monaghan, King, Morley.

I just hope that the MOS comes from a team in the top 4. I never thought that Adrian Vowles was a good choice because of the reasons I stated above. So if Pat Richards gets it for being the most consistent performer for the top team then that is understandable (if not my choice).

MOS Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
YPOTY Sam Tomkins by a mile if he is available to win it,,,,, Clarkson/Watts if not
COTY Nobby if they get in the 8, probably Madge if not

Arguably, Smith has improved Wire by more than Maguire anyway: 10th to 2nd (probably) rather than 6th to 1st. Plus a cup final.

After watching Sam Tompkins tear us a new 'arris yesterday, I would like to amend my YPOTY nominee to the aforementioned Master Tompkins. I do believe he is still eligible for the award.

Annoying little gyt at times, but a truly brilliant player.

It's Tomkins, no ''p''.

Atkins and Myler?

Yeah, add up what they spent on Myler and Atkins and it almost adds up to one Stuart Fielden

MOS - Richards
YPOTY - Watts
COTY - Noble

I'd say Coach of the Year will be either Noble or McGuire, both have had impressive seasons in different circumstances.

I tend to agree with one of the other posters, it seems strange that Pat Richards is favourite for MOS when you don't exactly think "Watch out for this guy!"
Credit to him though, when Wigan first signed him he looked like he was going to be a flop (I think they tried him in the centre at first) but he's really turned things round.

At Saints, Roby and Pryce have probably been the top performers.
