Quote: Rob Wire "I'll name 8 players that are worthy of being ahead of Sam Tomkins for Man Of Steel so far this year based on form, its not in any order of ratings.
1. James Roby
2. Scott Dureau
3. Michael Monaghan
4. David Solomona (Had little Sam in his back pocket)
5. James Graham
6. Rangi Chase
7. Jonny Lomax
8. Kirk Yeaman (form player in SL at present and leading try scorer)'"
Roby and Dureau maybe - as they are playing top class rugby at the moment.
Monaghan Im not sure about, not seen a lot of him this year. Solomona is in there just as a joke surely?
Graham hasnt had anywhere near as much influence as Sam this year on Saints, Thats been Roby.
Chase would be up with Roby and Dureau for me.
Lomax hasnt played as well as Sam, and finally - if Kirk Yeaman wins man of steel weve got problems. 'Ade Gardner' for example was leading try scorer a lot, but why was he never considered?
