Surprised Richard Owen isn't in the three.

How old is Cudjoe..hes been good this season

The "shortlist" shouldn't even be a list, all things being even. I don't think a player of any age has had anything like the impact on his team that Sam has on Wigan this season I stop short of saying he's Man of Steel material (though bias prevents me from thinking of a valid reason why) but he should be a shoe-in for Young Player of the Year.

I think he should have been a nominee for man of steel. He hasw turned our season around. His effort has been fantastic and the tackle on fox at the weekend tipified the lads commitment

Are you still crying about that?

He made the dream team, the other two didnt, Simples

There's no doubt that Sam will get the award as he has had more gametime to show off his talents. Good as he is though he needs to be careful as he has had as many warning letters from the RFL as games he has played almost. He has collected another one this week. Once he has cut the bad streak from his game he will become a far better and respected player whom the next generation can look up to in years to come.

He is easily the best young player, he is one of the best 13 overall so he will be the young player of the year.

We never forget miscarriages of justice.

But yet he's been banned how many times?

I expect if he got a Warning letter for that this week then the RFL should send out 100+ a Week!

The only 1 he deserved was for the Kick out at Sculthorpe in the cup, the rest are just the green eyed Vitriolic monsters creating Storms in tea cups too try and justify their hatred of all things Wigan!

I once posted something on here and it got used as a Sig by some People about the reasons why you Hate Wigan, you can add Sam Tomkins to the end of that Sig now!

Ryan Hall surely must of been in?

Too old I believe ?

Played more than 10 games in his rookie season last year.

Doesn't matter.

The youngest player to be selected in the Superleague dream team of 2009. Would make complete sense to get the award.

I would put my 'house' on it.

You are stevo and i claim my £5.00

So he's only played 3 games has he ?????

This week's was a joke:


So it is worthy of a warning letter to try to insert your own body between the ball and the ground, leading to accidental contact with the body of your opponent (which barely brushed him, I might add).

If that's the case, then what of the knee/shin to Pat Richards' head as he went over in the corner this week ????

And don't even get me started on the one for "undue pressure on the knee" for completing a standard tackle on Fatboy KFC.
You see that same hit made umpteen times in every match, and it was only the fact that KFC had planted his feet and tried to refuse to go down that led to him getting injured.

Sorry, but that's like blaming Senior for Chev Walker breaking his leg.

Some Saints fans do

Now why doesn't that surprise me ????

It's as though there's a legal requirement for shïte to spew from the mouth every time one is opened in St Helens.

If it's not a cry of "Foooooooorrwarrrrrrrd" at every single opposition pass, it's this sort of guff.

Richie Myler will win it.

There are still to many press men with anti-Wigan agendas.

Shortlist is: Sam Tomkins.
Stanley Gene.
Keith Senior.

Players choose it dont they?

I'll bet Roby still feels embarassed about it. Great hooker but that was Barratts award by a country mile!

Sam will get this one.
