Quick point of discussion, who do you think has been our most improved player so far?

Sam as come on leaps and bounds looking like a future great, Charnley has made the wing spot his own but still comes up with the occasional defensive error.

I think without giving it lots of thought I think I'd go with Mossop, been excellent all season, still a young lad playing a difficult position. Developed so well, great addition to our club.

Thoughts?

Mossop by a long way, has to be a front runner for Young Player of the Year

He'll be as good as any forward in time.

Tough question but has to be Mossop. I'd say Carmont, Prescott and Deacon are all improved on last year. And obviously Charnley has been great this year, a definate contender for young player of the year, along with Mossop.

I agree definitely mossop, hes been great this season

Mossop by an absoulute mile.

IMO, Sam has gone from an outstanding young talent, to be THE best player in SL, can you improve on that ?, I dont think so.

Mossop for me! Even though Finch and Lima have improved considerably over the course of the season.

Mossop
Hansen
Finch

Sam, Charnley, Carmont, Deacon, Mossop, Hansen & Prescott have all improved from last season.

Pat, Leuluai, O'Loughlin, & Coley have kept upto their awesome standards from last year (leuluai looks to even be improving the way he is playing at hooker)

Joel not as good at centre as he is in the back row but he is improving every week.

Lockers for me. Used to get a barrage of abuse by opposition fans (and some of our own), don't hear much of that now!!

Getting better every season.

Got to say that if it's Mossop by a mile, then it's Sam by a marathon.
This season he has looked World class and must send shudders up the spines of the opposition.
I thought he was good as a youngster, though I didn't see him that often and relied on info from Rogues.
I couldn't understand Noble not selecting him when he was an exciting prospect (oh yes, duty of care).
I thought his try and break in the Grand Final were so important in our victory and he had a marvellous season.
However, this season he has gone off the radar. He is head and shoulders above any other player who is mentioned for Man of Steel.
Yes, Mossop has been great in doing the hard yards and is having a wonderful season but Sam's improvement has been phenomenal.
Having said that I think Maguire is the man.

Lockers has been awesome top tackler nearly every game , does a brilliant job in the middle .

mossop has come on big time this year . Stand out for me

I'd go as far to say that George Carmont & Sam Tomkins have to be in with a shout for Man of Steel this year.

excluding the obvious in Sam and Mossop.

For me the person who has truly realized his potential is Hansen.

He is rapidly becoming the complete forward and is currently (for my money) the best 2nd row at the club, based on form.

Hansen.

Perhaps most importantly, has really stood out in the big games this year.

Finch and Charnley

You could suggest plenty of players for this title, be it an improver from last year or as the season has gone on.

Tomkins is turning into the player everyone knew he could and he isn't done improving by a long way.

Its been a while since I've noticed such a big difference after an off season in the physical attributes of a player than I have in Carmont in 2011. He's bigger, faster and stronger and is in a far better position to make the most of his undoubted skills.

Finch has improved naturally after his injury, Hansen is developing from an unnoticed workhorse to a leader and one of our top players whilst the change in position for Lee Mossop has made him look like a new player. Very soon, he will take the place of James Graham as the unquestioned top front rower in the competition.

I would have to put forward Jeff Lima for such a title though, I think he's been sensational recently after a relatively quiet start.

Mossop and Hansen the top 2.

Mossop edges it.

Finch

All the forwards have improved this year.

Are we talking this year?

If so a tie between Mossop and Hansen for me.

Hansen has improved massively!

Even more so since around the time Hock was due back. He must relish the competition!

Hansen
Mossop
Finch

Mossop
Hansen
Prescott has improved immensely as well.

Everyone!
