| I would nominate Keith Mason at the Giants.
he has put in 110% every game for us this year.
He is not a big name or spectacular but his workrate is phenomenal I would see him as a dark horse a bit like Vowles from a few years back

The Bulls fans were waxing Lyrical about Langley before his injury. I'm not sure if it was to "man of steel" level - you'd have to ask them.

You can get rid of Roberts as he's now firmly back to being anonymous.
Richards after his horror show at the weekend.
Cunningham isn't doing anything special, just aiding Saints with his influence. Any votes for him would be sentimental. I don't think Morley is doing anything alarming either, nor is McGuire or Brown recently.
Very few outstanding candidates this year IMO.

| From the history of the MOS it seems no player outside the top 3 teams really has a chance of winning it because they won't get noticed enough.
Lockers
Richards
Tomkins
Morley
Monaghan

Yep, I'd make those 3 favourites. Players vote might put Cunningham in with a shout, if he is popular as well as respected. I assume you can't vote for team mates...?
I've heard nowt about the Albert Goldthorpe this year - off to investigate.

I don't think Morley can go before Monaghan to be honest.
My top 3 right now is (in order)
Lockers
Monaghan
Richards

Adrian Vowles 1999 managed it. Generally though it comes from a top 3 side. Although Leeds finished in the top 3 at least 5 times last decade and they still didn't win it!
I can't believe Cunningham has never won it!

| Monaghan by a country mile for me. Takes games by the scruff of the neck and really stabalises us as a side. He's been outstanding again this season.

I wouldn't say he's a country mile the best hooker, let alone the best player:

Different sorts of player I know and I would have Monaghan up there as a MoS contender too (would probably have him as my favourite) but there's no country mile about it.
Surprised Roby doesn't get a mention at Saints actually (everyone seems to say Eastmond/Graham/KC from us), he's been magnificent for us this season IMO, having to fill a number of roles due to our injury problems.

He makes very poor yards for a hooker especially as he has had so many more carries than Roby. Loads of missed tackles as well. He is a fantastic organiser but I'm not sure you can give MOS just for that.

Saints fans will say that.
Wire fans are saying Monaghan.
Wigan fans are saying Lockers.

| Looking at stats to decide that Monaghan should or shouldn't be Man of Steel is floored. Saying that he is just an organiser is ridiculous.
He'll definitely be a big contender, as will the Wigan players mentioned but they will need to prove themselves in the big matches at the end of the year to make sure they get noticed by their peers. Monaghan has risen to the big occasion in the last year with standout performances in Warrington's challenge cup games, particularly the final and semi-final where he was the best player in both games. His defence is tough, and his vision from dummy-half is fantastic. He's been instrumental on Warrington's excellent start to the year and it's no coincidence that we've lost the games he's missed for Warrington this year (from memory Hull Kr and Leeds away).

I'm not saying he is just an organiser but his main skill is controlling the game. He will have to come up with some more big plays in big games, maybe this sunday will be his chance to really stand out with a try to win the game.

Roby has been incredible this season, possibly better than his MOS winning year for me.
