They'll be giving awards away with cornflakes next.

No, just Frosties.

Now why didn't I think of that.

Whos young player of the year?

If its not Sam Tomkins I will eat my Schutz-Staffel Totenkopf officer's hat

It is, Huddersfield also get Club of the Year.

Hoe the frig do Keith Senior and JP keep getting overlooked? Graham was the pick of the final 3 by a distance as well IMO.

Maybe they should ask their fellow SL players.

All the players vote this time and your club is hated

Simples

Success always bring with it envy.

I can live with that.

It's a squad game. I'm happy with the grand final please! I'm sure the players would agree with me. Although being voted MOS by your fellow players would be a nice award to get..

MOS from lowest placed team since Vowles won it?

2004 - Andrew Farrell.

I was going more on finishing post play-offs really, rather than League position.

For me, MOS should be the person who has most influence on the season. To have someone who failed to shine in the cup final, and any of the play-off games seems a bit stupid

So you're saying the SL players are stupid



Surely they have to be a good judge as to who they saw as the best player over the whole season, they are most likely to have seen just about every opposing player and know who they thought was outstanding.

Voted MOS by his fellow professionals in 2009 - Brett Hodgson.

Hodgson was voted for by his peers so who are we to argue?

Hodgson winning Man of Steel is akin to Carl Hall being voted Leeds best ever player.

By who?

The blind institute of West Yorkshire.

Top three maybe but never best ever.

How many readers of this forum will be asking 'Carl who?'

Shame.

I once asked James Lowes who he thought was the best player at Leeds, and he laughed and said 'Carl Hall'

Least deserving recipient since James Roby robbed Trent Barrett because Edxdie Hemmings said they "liked to give the awardto British players".

Time to think about taking the decision away from the players and giving it back to the media because they've certainly got it wrong this time.

Also, when do they ballot the players? This looks to me like they did it just after the CC semi (his one decent performance in a big game) and not after the Cup Final or any of his anonymous performances in the Gnats 2 playoffs defeats.

Table toppers, 3rd consecutive GF, 5th GF in 6 years, a chance to be the 1st club EVER to win 3 successive Grand Finals, Bluey with a chance to be the 1st coach EVER to coach a team to back to back GF wins......

..and still no awards for our individuals.

Meat and gravy for the team talk again Bluey, meat and gravy.
