FWIW I totally agree, in fact I think I said something similar on the match thread on Friday night whilst watching their game against FC. This has undoubtedley been his best season in SL, but that is probably the case for most of their players. I'd put Riley and Monaghan on a short list too with Pat, Sam and Lockers.
1 - Pat
2 - Westwood
3 - Sam

Do they announce a shorylist for the players to choose from? I can't remember how they handled it last year.

Also IMO if Amos had stayed fit I think he would of walked MOS but since his injury I don't see how anyone can look past Pat. He is an all round rugby league player.

Must be Pat, but I can see them giving Cunningham some sort of " Special Award " because of his retirement and past services etc, much deserved over previous seasons, but as for this season he has not done enough for MOS, even Saints fans will agree with that, I hope.

Willie Talau and Matty Smith both said they expected Sean O Loughlin to get it.

Actually, to be fair Westwood has been Wire's most impressive player this season and whilst I would say that Richards and Tomkins have stronger cases, the selection of Westwood as MoS wouldn't be an outrage of Roby/Barrett proportions.
