Someone mentioned Burrow, I reckon he might be in with a shot, he's been so influential at Leeds for years and takes plenty of crunching tackles from men nearly twice his size.

Yeah he's been very good too.

I don't think he's arrogant. If he is it isn't a bad thing.

I just don't think he plays within the spirit of the game (he's not the only player). It seems like everything he does is to get a penalty. He winds me right up. If he's not swearing at the ref (never seen anyone swear at refs like he does...and get away with it!) he's hooking his arms or legs around a player or reaching over a player when he's been tackled making it hard for the tackler to get up but also to look like he's being held down.

He doesn't need to do it. He's a good enough player to play without the BS.

It's a novel celebration to the Leeds fans.

Most of what you say is more a reflection on the man’s personality than his actual ability as a player. There are many people in sport that show arrogance, bad sportsmanship that doesn’t mean they are not bloody good at what they do. I don’t think he will get to be MOS, but I also don’t think he is arrogant or a bad sportsman.

I was listening to the Forty-Twenty podcast last week and Ryan McGoldrick was asked who he thought would get MOS. He said that sometimes if a player isn't particularly liked then nobody would vote for him and the players of the same team might agree not to vote for him. Shows a flaw in the process if that's actually happening because (as much as this pains me to say) Tomkins was the best player in the league last year and he should have won it but maybe he didn't because of his relationship with other players.
