Unbelievable bias.

I actually wanted Roby to be ahead of Monaghan for MOS because of all the obsessed Wire fans making out like he's Jesus Mk.2, but with some of the posts about Roby from Saints fans, I now wish Monaghan had been in there instead of him.

Let's guess how many scoots Roby does on Saturday, I'll go for 591. Higher or lower?

If he does quite a few I would say we will come out on top.

No bias whatsoever, if you don,t accept averaging nearly 200 metres a game for 5000 metres and averaging 40 tackles a game for 1032 tackles isn,t remarkable, then I don't know what is. Tomkins is the most talented player in Superleague but I dont think he has "the Man of Steel" temperament, character, sportmanship etc. Just think Roby has the right parameters, he dosn,t milk penalties, give the V sign and feign injuries, hopefully Tomkins will mature into a great player and learn to respect the opposition (players and fans).

Tied between Roby and Tomkins so far.

Looks like it'll be a close one

Roby for me.

I think this is a joke, If Rangi Chase doesnt win the award.

Maybe biased as a Cas Fan. But there is reason

James Roby, Works behind a dominant pack, And albeit, Has been outstanding.

Sam Tomkins is a flashy player, But is no "Steel" man with some of his dramatics this year.

Anyone look at Cas with Chase, And Cas without Chase, We are about 40 points a better side with him. He is that good.

Easily for me, The most skillful player in the competition, And thats the reason Warrington were offering BIG money to take him there.


If he played for Wigan, Wire or St Helens. There wouldnt be any competition

Roby is very, very good on both sides of the ball. But Sam T has almost been unstoppable this season. Would love to see him in the NRL soon as i think in general SL defences are not very good and he needs a bigger challenge. I think SL for Sam is too easy. And i support Wakefield.

Rangi Chase should win it in my opinion, but I'll just be happy if Sam Tomkins doesn't win it.

Lets be honest, all three have been brilliant this year. The votes are so close on this thread you can hardly split them.
I just think all 3 deserve a big pat on the back rather than other fans slating the ones they don't want to win.
No matter what anyone says all three are great to watch, and players like these make our game the best around.

Roby by a country mile

And the one time this season he got put in a pressure position to help his side win a major game in the last minute, remind me how that went again? He choked a straightforward drop goal attempt way off target.

Chase is no less "flashy" than Tomkins IMO, with the exception that Tomkins does it when it counts.

Personally, I'd still have Roby streets ahead of either of them mind, but dismissing Tomkins as you have and then bigging up Chase is simply club bias.

Sam
James
Rangi

Should be...

Michael
Sam
James

Michael Dobson or Shenton?

Dobson has had a decent season. Well done to Wire fans for noticing.

this

Why? If Leeds win the Grand Final, should Danny McGuire be the MOS?

You can't say the decision is wrong when the decision comes from the players themselves.

Arre you saying if he had kicked the drop goal he would be a better player? i've seen some great players miss drop goals, especially with defenders running right at them. For instance has sinfield never missed an important goal or drop goal in a big game? Dont forget he scored a wonderful try which made the leeds defence look silly to get cas into that position.

All 3 players have had fantastic seasons and any one of the 3 could win it deservedly, but chase has undoubtedly had a harder job to do than the other two playing behind a pack with its 4 first choice front rowers missing most of the season.

This is going going to be such a close call. All 3 are worthy winners

One of those 3 players cries when he loses, that player should be eliminated, not MOS material.

Graham ain't nominated this year.

HTH.

yeah Chase missed a drop goal in the semi, but so did Sinfield, drop goals are never certainties, especially in a tied game with seconds to go. Not to mention rangi produced the only moment of genuine class in the game (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjx_g6gTSUo) Albert Goldthorpe winner too. Not a bad effort.

Except his team managed a whole 9th and bombed a Challenge Cup semi. Whereas the other two teams finished 2 and 3, one got the CC semi, the other won it and both are in the play off semi. One will obviously reach the GF.

I know it's an individual award but to say that Chase has performed better in worse team is also ignoring the fact that that team so abysmally poor in comparison to the other two.

I'm only going to say 2 words that proves that it doesn't matter where you finish in the league, Adrian Vowles.

I wonder if Sam Tomkins performance this evening has damaged his ratings the only "tool in the box" was sidewards scooting. Where as James Roby was biding his time and starting to rip Wigan apart in the last 15 mins.

This.
