Can we all stop talking about Danny Kirmond before somebody local goes and waves their cheque book in front of him.

He can't be, surely not.

Great captains knock from Kirmond, a true leader and consistent in every aspect of his game. Collis a close second and Amor third. Honourable mention for Cockayne after his early season displays, and Foxy has improved as the season has gone on. The rest decent in patches, though we've had a fair number of injuries so hard to assess one or two.

Kirmond......... Without a shadow of a doubt!

Don't really think there has been a total standout player like others seem to think.

Early season it would have been Cockayne but for consistency to date I would go for 3 from Aiton, Kirmond and Amor. Collis would also be in there but I still don't think we get the ball to him enough and Mathers/Poore have been decent enough in most games.

Really hard to pick out a player who has been head & shoulders above everyone else imo.

Collis does get alot of ball, he is the most involved player with trys both scoring and assisting. Alot of our attack goes down that side and you can tell by Kirmond, Collis & Fox's try record this year.

Agree with that. Cockayne was very good at the start of the season but dropped off somewhat.

I agree with it being in contention between Kirmond and Collis.

When I saw the thread title I immediately thought of Collis and stick to that. Now that he has been injury free this year we've had chance to see his potential and he is a cracking centre. I hope we can extend his stay because I've been very impressed with his work ethic, impact and consistency.

He's recently extended his contract hes ours until the end of 2016.

I'd call it a straight shoot out between Kirmond and Collis, with Kirmond edging it for his toughness, grit and the ability to put in a reet good Captain's knock.

No slight on Collis though - he's a genuinely class centre and it's a pleasure to watch him play.

I'd say Amor is the stand-out in the chasing bunch - he rarely has a poor game and is a real work-horse; tough as nails them Cumbrians.

I have been informed (and please don't shoot me down for this) that Cockayne has had a rather averga eseason start to finish - except he was on the receiving end of some quality plays at the start of the year which meant he bagged up on tries.

Just throwing it out there like - my thought being you'd expect your wingers to score a few

Sounds like you've been informed by someone who doesn't understand the game very well!

Cockayne started the season really well - was up amongst the top try-scorers and was making metres for fun; I'm not sure what else people expect a winger to do - he puts himself in the right place to get good ball from his centre, then runs like billy-o until he sees the try line!

He has however had a drop in form - ironically, it started around the time he got the England call up.

his strength is his overall involvement/determination/enthusiasm, metre making and of course finishing tries. One of the downsides of the first part though is that his weakness is decision making when defending. His willingness to try and shut down a play can leave us exposed where he should be.

Tbh I think you have been ill informed, but the amount of tries conceded down his side is becoming too regular.
