Danny Houghton and Gareth Ellis shortlisted for the Steve Prescott MOS award.
Denny Solamona of Cas also on the 3 man list.

well deserved

obviously id love to see danny or gareth win, they both do the hard graft, no disrespect to solomona but some of his tries were walk ins and are set up by gale who would have been a worthy nominee too

I seriously think it's Mints to lose, with all the praise he's being getting and THAT tackle. He's got to be favourite.

How amazing eh who would have thought this time last year when we were drifting to the end of the season in 8th with Houghton 'not able to pass properly' according to some on here and Ellis rehabbing from a usually career ending injury (at his age) and finished as far as some pundit were concerned that we would have 2 out of the 3 on the shortlist from Hull and that they would be those two.

Im 50/50 on Houghton/Ellis - Fridays nights performance will possibly make me decide

Sneyd made the shortlist of 5 too. Incredible times.

I have to say i'm leaning towards Ellis. For him to be playing with the intensity that he does and to have come back from season / career injuries that he has at his age the bloke has to be made of serious stuff. Houghton has been fantastic but anybody can see the lift that we get when our captain is on the field.

Ellis for me. As much as Danny deserves it for the tackle alone, Ellis is an absolute machine. We look a completely different outfit with him on, and he brings calming influences to me when he plays, never mind the effect he has on his teammates.

ABS. Anyone but Solomona



Seriously, all great nominees.

Obviously I adore both of our lads but Danny just edges it for me. Good luck to both of them!

Delighted for both of them - well deserved recognition of their efforts.

If I had a vote I'd go for Gareth Ellis but I'd be very happy to see Danny Houghton win it.

The Treble, Lance Todd winner, Man of Steel. I'd love to see Wilf's diary if all of those came about.

Coach of the Year?

My bad. How could I miss Radders?

Fantastic achievement by both players and the club to have two players nominated. Either one would deserve it but for me Ellis just edges it.

There's still time for the Harry Sunderland Trophy as well...

Even if we don't win another game Radford is nailed on to win coach of the year.

solomona isn't even the best player at cas and it would be a joke if he won it for running in tries for a mid table team with no major influence on the season. chris hill would have been a far more worthy nominee. As good as ellis is, houghton has been more influential in our season by some margin and would be my choice by a country mile

is this the first time the MOS nominations haven't featured anyone from the so called big three of wigan, leeds and saints?

No, it's been running since leeds were also rans, wigan were in the 2nd division and saints were a shambles

ok, in the superleague era then

No matter what Sky keep telling me about Sneyd, I have always thought that it is Ellis who is the backbone of your side and he should win it IMO.

Gale should have been nominated over Solomona (or Houghton), he has 44 try assists for the year and from what I can tell that has smashed the previous record,.

Ha we never win it, since SL started there have been more winners from Cas than Leeds

I wonder if tonights performance has just handed the MOS to Solomona?
