Monaghan I would say has been consistently good over the course of the season and as you say has always performed well in big games. Tomkins on the other hand not so much, but I would say a handful of games we have seen Tomkins play this season he has been scarily good and has by far looked the best player in SL.

Taking away Tomkins' 5th places to make it 'fair', this is how it would've gone under our voting systemPos Player 1st's 2nd's 3rd's 4th's 5th's Points Total
1st Sam Tomkins 10 3 3 - - 71
2nd Michael Monaghan 7 5 3 - - 64[/code

Speaks volumes.

Rather than trade personal insults perhaps I could offer a little advice, as a follower of a club with a little more experience of play off football than yourselves.

If you don't win 3 games which I would class as "big games" over the next month, all those wins in what you would class as "big games" will mean zilch. Tough as that sounds, that's it; exactly the same position as Wigan were in this time last year.

You could also say that had we not won several big games over the past 8 months, then we would not be in the position we are now with the possibility of more big games.

Monas seems to get his MoM in the big games, steps up a lot that lad, remember 2009 at Wembley Lance Todd trophy winner.

How was Sam at Wembley? I think [size V[/size was his only memorable moment.



Not so bad mate, pooped.

When i finished that a million posts needed checking

Monaghan is a fantasic player I would have him at Wigan in a heartbeat but Sam Tomkins will get MOS, with Chase 2nd and Roby 3rd.

If there was a 4th place he would get that.

Monas is 25/1 with the bookies.

Sam is 7/2 on.

Now they always get it wrong dont they.

I remember the bookies getting it wrong one day.

CC final 1998

Come to think of it, a team got it wrong, too

moi, non

2 horse race between Tomkins and Roby for me. Chase and Monas with a shoe in though.

What MD has said.Top post...

Noticed you joined RFLFans in 03, you have not posted much in the 8 years.Since you have joined or is it a case of now Wigan are winning,you will start singing again.Along with all the other glory boys wearing the Norweb shirts from yester year.

If the MoS goes on who has had the most influlence on the teams performance,over the course of the season.Then M Monas should win it.Roby has taken the limelight from Saints beacuse they have no other player to step up to the mark.Tomkins makes a few mazy, couple of silly side steps runs across field.And people think that should win him Mos,dont be silly.
