Plenty of these peers who don't respect him still voted for him, though. How does that work?

| i reckon the only reason Rangy (i am english) Case has won is because the voters couldnt decide between Sam and Roby, so they voted for Chase

A pap team that doesnt cheat the cap to survive and held you to a draw at their place ? The Goldthorpe medal winner is now the MOS. Sam is a great player and his time will come so , just for once , show a bit of class and congratulate the winner.
Well done Mr Chase

| Quote Deano G="Deano G"Yesterday really was an appalling day in the history of RL, though the incompetence, hypocrisy and [uWigan hating of much of the RL world [/uwas actually very amusing.
First the story finally breaks that some clubs have been underpaying the revenue, a clear breach of rule A3:1 of the RFL's operational rules.
In other sports an announcement would be made by the governing body that the clubs concerned were being investigated for misconduct. But no, this is rugby league, and as others have said on this board the political reality of our morally bankrupt game is that they will not be punished for breaching A3:1 or for the obvious and very serious breach of the spirit of the salary cap that this failed tax avoidance constitutes.
And then we have the players' opinion on who the greatest player of 2011 was. What's their opinion worth? Well as a group who have taken years to form a union and given that many players - like turkeys voting for Christmas - still speak out in favour of the salary cap, despite the cap having reduced their wages collectively by more than 30% in real terms, I attach very little weight to what they say on any subject.
The truth of course is that Sam Tomkins played some breathtaking rugby this season. He's the best British player since Hanley and if he avoids injury and stays in RL he could well go on to top even the great man. Chase is a very good player and Roby has had an extraordinary season but Sam is just on a different level.
The reality is that this award, like much that goes on in RL, is a complete joke. So while the muppets in the RL establishment continue to damage the game with their politics, hypocrisy[u and Wigan hating[/u, I suppose at least we can have a laugh at the expense of these total idiots.

Nurse! Nurse!
This man's medication is obviously not strong enough.
He needs a stronger dose in future.
Oh, and while you're at it nurse, he needs more padding on his cell wall, and his straight jacket needs upgrading.
It's sad when they get like this, nurse....very sad.

Of course you have, medals i mean, its funny how it was a big thing (the goldthorpe) when it looked like sam was gonna win it.
Sam will be a world beater of that there is no doubt, but while most realise that they still cant give credit to anyone not wearing red and white, and for that reason , you have my pity.
As for wigan haters, the game isnt big enough for hate so please drop the pretence that your lot are special , A damn good rugby league club , but not the messiahs ffs.
Its a game , Rangi was voted as MOS in that game ........ get over it

| Its an award that never fails to create confusion.
What is always more controversial than who the award actually goes to is the process itself for me.
Are players really the best judge of who has had the most significant impact on the competition? Do the players have time to watch every round of Superleague and analyse opposition players week in week out?
As i understand it players tend to focus on who their opposition is for the next game (some don't even do that!) and many won't even bother to watch highlights from other games played on the same day or weekend.
Im not sure what the solution is to giving the award more credibility but perhaps some kind of recognised points system would be an improvement similar to the AG medal winner.
Well done to Chase, Roby and Tomkins who have all haD sensational seasons for their clubs - im just not convinced that the players are best placed to decide who wins the MOS.

You're too funny. Mcguire not dirty? haha.
Also you do realise it's voted for by the players, including the final three; so at the very worst he got the third most votes in the league; not bad for a guy who isn't respected by his fellow pros. In fact didn't wellens, publicly say he voted for him too.

That is RLFans made up fact of the day. 100% unadulterated nonsense. Well played sir. I didn't even read the rest of your post, I know from that first sentence that it will be complete dross, embarassing and cringeworthy.
