So either these palyers are stand out and your squad is poor or your squand is good and so they have an easier job so don't deserve man of steel?

Its the old argument of "every player at saints (and leeds) is poor its the world class players around them that make them look good" It is nonsense.

From us I think Dobson or Galea must be in the running

Graham, Peacock, Hick have been doing well.

Ben Galea is very hard working, but has not had the impact Vs Tony Puletua www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009 A lot more carries by ben, but less metres also he misses 1 in 10 of his tackles which is not good. and to show i'm not Saints blinkered (completely) Vs Gareth Hock www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009 again less metres off more carries and nearly half the tackle busts.

Your a glass half empty kind of guy. I prefer he 'completes' 9 out of 10 tackles or has a 90% success rate in tackling, which for anyone is good.

Totally different players though Comparing stats isn't fair and you fail to mention Ben Galea's superior try assists and tackle busts (against Puletua) I'd say all 3 are good shouts for Man of Steel at this stage, but I think we could look elsewhere for Man of Stats.

Murrayfield.

again
196 metres in 24 carries and 22 tackles
if thats a bad game, than there's no hope for the other props in the league

Try assissts are a very bad stat, they don't count obvious ones and count stupid ones just ask TVOC? on leeds board. As for tackle busts, Ben has 2 more than Tony but has played 3 more games so its about square.

I just dont think Ben stands out above the other players in anyway, that said he is a very good, solid player

Danny Sculthorpe

Chris Thorman is a shoe in if he keeps playing like he has....

[size=25for a contract termination.[/size

Have you seen his footwork for a SR, he's awsome with the ball in hand and alot of the time defenders don't know which side of them he's going to go!

As i've said he is good but doesn't do anything that other back rowers do. If defenders didn't know which side he was going then he would bust more tackles than hock, but he doesn't.

Again i wouldn't say theres one real stand out but the likes of Dobson, Galea, Gidley, Graham and O'Loughlin must be right up there.

Like other posters, from my team HullKR, either Dobson or Galea.

Don't see other teams regularly enough to say but James Graham seems in goof form.

What about Radders, Rommel?

Top 2 contenders are Graham and Dobson for me.

One of the Saints squad, take your pick.

Edited?

Dobson if HKR keep their form up.
Morley if Wire go on and win it!

Don't quite understand people saying Morley should get it. He's a good player yes but before Wire vs Wigan I never saw him have a stand out game.

If any prop should get MOS it should be Graham again, the guy takes the term workhorse to a whole new level. Shame he'll be burnt out in a couple years though

rangi chase, mitchell sargent, got to be in with a chance.

Luke Adamson.

Michael "The Worrlord" Worrincy of the mighty Bradford Bulls is my shout. James Roby has already set the precedent for impact bench players to win it





For the good of our great game it would be good to see a player from outside Saints or Leeds win it for a change



Outside the Bulls I would like to see Stanley Gene win it

I was laughed at when i mentioned Dobson at the start of the year
