For me it was his performance at Hull FC that nailed him this award, that was by far the best single performance I have ever seen from a Winger since watching RL.

No, I think you'll find he's Man of Steel.

Basically they have an awards dinner called the Man of Steel Dinner, they then give out the trophy that's called "The Man of Steel" Trophy to a player that's been voted "Man of Steel".

Just thought I'd clear that up for you.

PS

We did have a Players player of the Year award but for some reason they changed the way the votes were done? Can't think why!

Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"So he's player of the year, not man of steel. At least, not what man of steel used to be understood as. We need to change the award to player of the year IMO. That would be fair enough for Pat Richards as clearly he has been outstanding as a player.'" news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 038552.stm Beg to differ.

Bitter much

Just so the scousers don't feel left out:

Thoroughly deserved, he has had an excellent season. Same goes for Sam Tomkins.

..and some of us fought his corner!



Well done Pat. Your most important achievement this year was proving a select few of us right!

Well done to Pat - the most consistent performer all year and strange but true, the first winger to be MoS since 1988

is that when Offiah won it?

Well done PAAAAAAAAAATTTT fully deserved
