Luckily the losing team gets medals also, because from the sounds of your post you seem to imply that Leeds have the cup final in the bag already.
Obviously that would be a ridiculously daft thing to say. |

Ben Westwood is one of my favourite forwards in the game. The man is just a machine. I would love to have him at us. As I would Sam Tomkins, who is the best player in Super League, and the best English player we've got. |

i wouldn't be able to name a single player that would enjoy going up against westwood the way he tackles and the strength he runs the ball in at. he is just the ultimate forward |

Watching him and Hock go up against each other yesterday was great. England's best two second rowers! |

agreed the only difference i would bring up is that under smith westwood has learned to control his agression you dont get as many penalties from him any more, hock needs to reign it in sometimes as can still have brainfarts and go nuts |

Both great players (minus the penalties count above). Love watching the passion and controlled agression from Hock, and the strength / machine like qualities of Westwood. Could do with some of that at Widnes!

Westwood penalties are tactical errors, generally hanging on too long, going to high when trying a ball and all tackle, its his role. Hock's are aggressive overreactions, bloke needs to reign himself in, but I love to watch him, he's very talented.

Westwood is a true [iMan of Steel[/i. After watching him chew up the yards against 1st and 3rd placed teams (which happen to be my team and our derby rivals) and lead the way to dominate up front, I recon he'd be very deserving of such an award.
I don't see him every week, but i don't think consistancy is a problem for him.

seems a fair assessment
TBF Hill has had a superb season as well so far with Westwood very consistent (it hurts me to admit the truth !) but I can't figure out how BW didn't get MOM against W***n, it must have been one of his best games for the Wires ? |

No consistency isn't a problem, his only problem seems to be being in the most unfashionable position on the field.
Westwood usually has about 3 bad games a season, easily the most consistent performer of the last few years at Wire. |

Hill's had a good first year, but Westwoods a different class. |
