MOS - Richards
YPOTY - Watts
COTY - Noble

I'd say Coach of the Year will be either Noble or McGuire, both have had impressive seasons in different circumstances.

I tend to agree with one of the other posters, it seems strange that Pat Richards is favourite for MOS when you don't exactly think "Watch out for this guy!"
Credit to him though, when Wigan first signed him he looked like he was going to be a flop (I think they tried him in the centre at first) but he's really turned things round.

At Saints, Roby and Pryce have probably been the top performers.

Hmmm how much did myler cost?

Fielden signed years ago my point is we spent sweet fa (a little on deacon) yet mm has changed it around

About 250k less than Fielden.

We signed Solomona on a free and look how good he has been all season.

I agree the solomona buisness was a good deal but if you look over the last few years at both teams i'm quite sure you have spent alot more than us

O'Loughlin. Captain Marvel in a great Wigan team
Watts. Gone under the radar at HKR but been immense
Smith. Climb of 8 places and a place in the CC final(AGAIN).

Maybe, and what if we have tbh, good players improve teams, if you have the cash to do that then what's the problem? Look at Man City.

I don't think he had a lot to change around to be honest(3 GF eliminators) I just think he needed to tweak slightly and find a higher level of consistency.

My whole point is we have brought through young players who have made positions there own and are on fire atm

We have had the whole phase of chucking cash at players uncle mo trying to buy us trophies but it backfired and it's took us along time to bounce back maguire has turn an average team into one of if not the best team in the league

He had more to do than people think

3 grand final elimiators in 3 years is still pretty impressive, the team can't have been in that bad shape.

Are you a wigan fan?

If you have watched over the last 3 seasons we have played very average (and at time boring rugby) this season the team look totally diffrent the attacking game is some of the best i've ever seen

Next season is when we will look very scary imo

No mate. He has obviously added something to the team, like you said better in attack and a fierce defence. But there was already a strong basis to begin with.

Does Danny Houghton qualify for young player?

MoS: Everyone's going for Pat Richards, and he's been great, but a mention should go to Monaghan.


YPotY), 2nd Choice Danny Houghton.
I haven't seen enough of the next guy to put his name forward, ut Watts was impressive when we played KR.

CotY: Maguire's seriousley improved Wigan. I don't see Noble getting it after his embarrassing dummy spit after the crusaders/fc match.

Good shout. He's impressed me that kid.

MOS,Richards,been excellent all year
YP,one of three for me,Tomkins,Lomax or Clarkson
Coach,Maguire

I don't know why so many people are going for Richards. All he's done is catch bombs and kick goals. His general play outside of that has been pretty unspectacular. There are far more deserving candidates from around the league and I'd even go for either of the Tomkins or O'Loughlin from Wigoon ahead of Richards.

So is Greg Inglis, in fact Tomkins made his SL debut a month before Inglis made his NRL debut. It's almost as stupid as the people mentioning Ben Harrison, who is a week younger than Jarryd Hayne.

Morley/o-loughliin
S. Tompkins/Briscoe/Clarkson /Watts
Maguire

Hope Morley, good to see a number of quality young players coming through, maguire surely nailed on

Said this to somebody else but, you musn't watch him much then if you think he just catches and kicks.
He takes the ball up more than anybody else in our team, makes loads of metres andhelps the forwards out a lot. Unlike a lot of other wingers Pat genrally doesn't just score walk in trys either, some of the tries he's scored have been amazing. give the ball to pat 20 metres or less out, more often than not thats 4 points for Wigan.

MOS- Pat Richards, 3rd most meter maker in Super League, top try scorer, top goal kicker, top points scorer, safe as houses under a bomb and solid in defence, need I go on?



YPOTY- Liam Watts, Slotted into the KR with relative ease and would be an outsider to make the 4 nations squad.

COTY- Mick Potter - Not everyone's first choice, but he has had to deal with injuries to key players for big parts of the year, i.e Pryce and Eastmond, add Cunningham at the moment. Has had it tough and is on course for a 2nd place finish, and not far off a Wembley appearance too. He doesn't get enough credit in my opinion.

Not COTY, but certainly a galaxy better than some of the knee-jerkers at Knowsley Road would have you believe.

Simmons has a tough job next year and Bradford have got themselves an excellent coach.

20 Metres out with no one in front of him. He must be a fantastic in the untelivised games because he just looks solid in every game I have seen him.

I am not saying he is a bad player but I would hope you would need to be better to win MOS. Lesley V had several seasons at Bradford better than Richards in 2010 and he was never in the running. The reason for that was that it was a given that Lesley was made to look good by his team mates and I think you could say the same for Richards.
