Without trying to sound pretentious, we are half way through the regular season and from a Wigan perspective who do we consider has shown the form to be considered for the MOS shortlist.

For me we have a few particularly in the forwards.

Hock, Lima and Hansen have all been immense week in week out. Mossop is without doubt one of the form front rowers

Sam obviously will be up there and having a blinding season.

Obviously many of these wont be considered come the end of the season but we have some serious talent that has the potential to pick up end of season awards or make the dream team.

Just wondered what others thoughts were ????

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg



Finch has been nothing short of outstanding this season

From Wigan I would say Finch or Hock at this point.

MOS is somewhat popularity and showmanship so just general hard work probably wont cut it, whereas Finch has been really showy at times as has Hock, only thing with that is how much other players do/dont like him lol

Morley or Peacock or Westwood will probably get it, due to anti Wigan bias as in the case of Rangi and Roby

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg



Patrick Ah Van ?

I'd love Mossup to get it but he has missed a few games through injury. If he can stay fit though I still think it is more of a big name / glamour player who would get it.

Hock / Finch / Lima all impressing from a Wigan pov as well.

For us: Finch by a mile so far. Think him whining to the ref quite often will let him down though, probably doesn't go down too well with the opposition.

Thus far - Finch.

If we win at least one piece of silver wear this year I'll be surprised to see anyone else win it.
Somebody else Would need to have a blinding 2nd half of the season

6 weeks ago it would have been Dureau but Finch has now caught up and probably overtaken him in the running.

Theres an awful long way to go yet though and guys like Tomkins and Hock are certainly in the running.

You've got to remember that the MOS is largely voted for on performances towards the end of the season. It shouldn't be, but it is. In theory, the harder grounds we have coming up (if summer ever comes!) should suit the quicker players and, in all likelihood, one from this number will be MOS. From Wigan, Sam is without doubt the strong favourite.

Based on consistency and last night's outstanding form McIlorum should get in the running, if not a nomination.

It will all depend on who Morley and Sinfield instruct their players to vote for.
