Plenty tipping him on here for SL Young Player of the Year. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=467425 Have to think he's in with a good shout. 25 games this year, and a right handful to defend against. Sky's the limit for him I reckon.

As I posted on that thread, I orginally thought he should win it, but changed my mind after last Sunday's 1 man demoltion job by Tompkins Jr. At 21 (start of season), he is still eligible for the award.

Lordy. Wigan treble then with Maguire for coach and Richards as seemingly top tip for MOS. I think Noble has done as much with a ragbag of players at Crusaders personally, but can't see past Maguire. Watts should at very least be in the final 3 for young POTY though.

Liam should at least make the top three & as a prop at his age it would be a remarkable acvhievment. I think Sam Tompkins will walk away with it though he is a once in a genaration player,just hope the Wigan staff can kep his mental attitude right as he will be a joy to watch in an England shirt.

tomkins for me, but watts is a real prospect....

Yeah, i think that by the time he's seen his next contract out at rovers he'll be ready to step up and play in the big time accross the river.

I didn't realize that they played Rugby league in Grimsby or Barton!.

watts will end up in the nrl for a couple of years in a few years time imo

I imagine Wattsy will be well into the top 3 but Tompkins has ran away with it imo.
He is different class to any other S/O in the league.

so Sam Tompkins and Watts are in most peoples top 3, but who will be the other candidate? has Eastmond played enough to get it?

This is why Watts will be in the top 3. I can't really think of anyone else who deserves it. Eastmond hasn't been as good as he was last year due to injuries and there haven't been many other great youngsters emerge.
How old is Elliot Whitehead at Bradford?

Tomkins IMHO, but Watts has been the stand out young prop in Super League this season....even playing at loose forward

Watts has made the shortlist for the Albert Goldthorpe rookie of the year medal along with Liam Farrell, Ben Jones-Bishop, Larne Patrick and another who's name escapes me at the minute
