Saw this on another teams page and thought it would be interesting in the context of Wigan.

So, who's been Wigan's player of the year so far?

My top 3 are:

1) Matty Smith

2) John Bateman

3) Anthony Gelling

I really did want to include Burgess, but just thought that Gelling's immense improvement from a poor-preseason has made him worthy.

I've always been a big fan of Gelling, who IMO may well improve and really become one to remember (not convinced he actually improved this season I just think his performances have been the result of being given a run of games at centre). However, Burgess has just about pipped him for me, he's had quite a season. Surprised I'm the only one who gave Clubb a mention, a real surprise package considering how little we expected of him

Well apart from Bateman you certainly can't pick anyone out of the pack,

Very good point about Gelling. Like I say, Burgess has been fanatastic. Only reason I picked Gelling was because Manfredi's good try-scoring rate has in recent weeks taken a bit of shine of Burgess's somewhat. Both fantastic though. And Clubb has been good, although the injury kept him out for a while. Interesting to see not many people picking Props as well so far, shows the need for a bigger pack next season.

Injuries have probably put paid to two certainties for me in McIlorum and Green although if they get some games before the end of the year they'll be able to push back in as the competition isn't huge (due to our form and injuries).

As it stands I'd go-

Bateman- consistently very good

Farrell- Thought he'd have more votes tbh. He's scored try's, set them up, made breaks and been rock solid in defence as usual.

Bowen- Getting better and better and has been our best player in recent months.
