Definitely not worthy of MoS status but he's a brilliant young player. The world's his oyster, would welcome him to Wigan with open arms

Brett Hodgson has to up there for the award, and I hate to admit it but Morley would be my other nomination.

Absolute bollox.

Don't let that stop you though.

Pat Richards
Peter Fox
Semi Tadulala

Raynor
Donald
Hicks
Calderwood

Raynor and Calderwood ? Really ?

I'd have Raynor over him if he can stay fit tbh.

Calderwood has been Hull's played of the year. He just gets crap service.

Got to be one of Graham, Morley or Hobson. Can't see past any of those three.

I'd pick Burrow.

Is that a cross between Dobson and Hodgson?

oooh, tough choice

on Ryan Hall:

he is no Big Les, he is never going to be a winger who you build a gameplan around or one that the opposition fears when their name is on the teamsheet,

but then again, there are very very very few who are in RL, in fact i dont think we as a country have had one since robinson and offiah,

however, he is quick, strong, safe, and has a fantastic work rate for a winger, he should be in the england squad come the end of the year

Ainscough is the complete opposite, in that he will make more mistakes but he will also create more himself and is more capable of something special

Champion teams are based on players like Hall, with a sprinkling of Ainscoughs

saying that MoS is a step too far for him

Don't really see what the fuss is about Hall, he seems like a capable winger, but his strike rate as others have pointed out has more to do with the team he's in, in particular Senior inside him.

Id like to see Morley win it this year.

Morleys been fantastic but man of steel? Im not quite sure

A lot of ignorance shown by people commenting on Hall.

People might want to look at his stats to appreciate just what he does other than score tries and he does an awful lot.

I am not sure he'd be my choice for man of steel but it wouldn't be a ridiculous choice and he's head and shoulders the best winger in the competition this year, bar none.

agree. best winger in the comp, and a definate for England.

In my opinion, MOS should be a player who carries their team, and whose team would be significantly worse without them. On that basis - Graham, Hodgson and Morley are the only 3 candidates.

I agree with your summary of the criteria for MOS and peacock certainly falls into that for us.

Hodgson shouldn't be man of steel. Morley, Graham, Senior, Dobson and Peacock are the only real candidates.

The way they were all sat in the cafe talking and laughing the other day when I went to get my tickets proved what he says he true

Sean Long too, also Scully won it one of the 2 years when he played majority at stand off.

Harris in 99.

Right on the money, like Gardner, Hall is a decent finisher, yet but either of them in a lesser team and they would be pretty avarage. Man of steel? He's not the best winger in superleague, let alone best player. Hell, he's not even the best winger at Leeds.

did you set out to deliberately make yourself look stupid or does it come naturally?

While Grahams metres made stats that are constantly quoted are impressive there are 2 parts to the game attack and defense. A paltry 38 tackles from marker for a prop who plays the majority of the match shows how he's boosting his tackle stats as 2/3rd man in. No wonder he's got enough energy to hoover up the easy yards from restarts.

Put into context fat 15 minute prop Feka has managed 37, JP 111.


Impressive ball carrier no doubt, man of steel, no.
