Ignoring the fact there was a picture doing the rounds where it clearly showed he didn't hit his head, regardless of what the disciplinary panel said, then sure.

I don't really think you have a case. It wasn't as bad as people thought it was at the time. It's the only bad one he has done all season. With people like Morley in your team... well....

To be honest, it's all based on opinion. My opinion is I'd rather Westwood over O'laughlin.

realistically the top 5 arent gonna 3 or 4 from wire i reckon maybee two with monas and moz king will be up there though, i reckon graham, oloughin, possibly mcguire as a dark horse this year had been a good year for a lot of people but we dont know who will keep it all the way through

Chris Bridge, each way.

Yep and you're entitled to that. A fellow pro called Jamie Peacock came out last week and said that Sean O'Loughlin has been the best player in the league this season. I would rather trust his opinion than yours. O'Loughlin > Westwood, and yes before you say it, in defence.

Your coach didn't have that opinion when he was England coach.

They're good mates, he felt sorry for him after knocking his team out of the CC.

O'Loughlin, i'll be honest at first i didn't get it [the hype but actually i thought i'd go out of my way to watch him (more to actually tell Wigan fans he's pap and here are my reasons why i think he's pap) but i'm sorry i was wrong, the guy is an absolute machine in defence

His attacks come on alot aswell, up there with the best half backs in the league when it comes to try assists. Good raps from Peacock the other day "Probably the best player in superleague"

MOS

Monnas, makes Wire tick.
Lockers, explained above.
Graham, best player in superleague IMO the guys a beast
Pat, Mr consistant
KFC, cause hes retiring

Nobody from Leeds or any other has stood out as much as these (maybe Langley)

Shame Roberts got injured when he was in that form.

YPOTY

Harrison
Sam
Eastmond

Of course, man of steel isn't suppose to be the best player...

Top try scorer currently - Pat Richards/Hodgson
Top points scorer - Pat Richards

If he keeps his form up, keeps scoring tries/points and Wigan finish top, I can't see it being anybody other than Pat Richards as the MOS

Its not all about scoring points, otherwise the likes of Graham/Roby/Peacock would not have won it in the past! Its about contribution to the team voted for by other teams players.

Richards will be up there, no doubt. I think he's awesome.
Joel tompkins is another along with Puletua and Graham at Saints. Danny McGuire also a possibility.

I'm biased but think Monas will be heading the list followed by Oloughlin and King, then Richards and Graham.

Monas will be up there. Your maybe a little biased

but I think it'll be between Lockers, Monas and Richards currently. Graham is quality but I think the other three have really stood out.

But at the end of the day, we have a long time to go yet. Lots of things can happen.

If Puletua is even being considered as one of the best players in SL then we may as well give up.

Note my previous comment.

I'd put forward Lockers and Joel Tomkins from Wigan. They've both been outstanding week in week out and it's great to see. I'd also have Pat Richards in the dream team but I wouldn't 'quite' have him in the Man of Steel reckoning.

As for players from other clubs who are in the running i'd say 4 players stand out for me and they're Mongahan and Morley from you guys and Graham and Eastmond from Saints. The things Graham does week after week are unbelievable.

Agreed. I think the players of super league are most likely to vote for him.

I would have Monaghan then J.tomkins then O'loughlin/Eastmond

Monaghan or Graham.

moz is better than graham imo...theres far more to being a prop than just gaining metres...moz is the whole package...and is respected by everyone and will never go hiding...

At least there's been no hometeam bias on this thread.

Until he broke his leg, Roberts looked like the stand out player this season. As for the rest, Graham, Monas, Eastmond and morely seem to be in with a good shout.

Who do people think the PLAYERS are most likely to vote for?
