Seen as we had a similar thread going and it's my first post on here, young player of the year... Who do you think will get young man of steel?

I'm going to be a little controversial here and say that Denny Solomona has come on leaps and bounds at Cas under a great coach in Powell.

As much as it hurts to say, massive mentions to both Joe Burgess and Dom Manfredi at Wigan, both have been superb when I've seen them play.

Looking forward to seeing Tom Gilmore play more at Widnes now as KB is out for a while, had a stormer against Catalan on Sunday too.

Andre Savelio

There has been a few this year and just about ever club has one which is good for the game, stand outs for each club for me are:

Leeds Liam Sutcliff
Saints Andre Savelio
Wigan Dom Manfredi
Hudds Jared Simpson
Cas Denny Solamona (never realised he was that young)
Warrington Brad Dwyer
Catalans Fouad Yaha
Hull Jordan Abdul
Rovers Aaron Ollett
Widnes Tom Gilmore
Salford Niall Evalds
Wakey Tom Johnson

Ben Currie for me.

What's the age limit? Just checked and he's 21 today.

Sutcliffe and Ward were strong contenders before injury imo.From other clubs Currie,Bateman,Manfredi,Burgess and Savelio are strong contenders.

I think Ben Currie, Liam Sutcliffe and Niall Evalds are the only three in genuine contention

Depending on the age cutoff, John Bateman should be up there for it too.

Tom lineham too old ?

Ben Currie if he qualifies for it. I think Brad Dwyer is also in with a shout, and the rest of the season/playoffs could still have an effect on who takes the accolade.

Too tall.

Savelio by a country mile. If he wins it he's said he may let wigans entire pack out of his pocket

I think Niall Evalds has been outstanding this year and would get my vote.

According to Wiki Ben Currie is 21 today so I would have thought he is eligible. Line ham is 22, John Bateman was 22 a few days ago so I'm not sure whether they qualify or not. All would be a good shout.

I've been impressed with Greenwood and Savelio at St Helens, the young full back at Salford whos name escapes me, Burgess at Wigan. Ward and Sutcliffe at Leeds off the top of my head.

There are a lot of contenders this year which is good for the future of English RL.

Joe Burgess, after a bad start to the year when his Sydney deal got announced, this guy is now in top form. Best winger in the comp bar Hall.

As pointed out its fantastic for the game that so many names are being reeled off.

If both qualify its between Currie and Burgess for me. There's been a lot of good players mentioned but those two have been on a different level and unlike many of the others both are ready to make a big impact on the international stage now!
