First of all at the start of the season I had my doubts about Ratchford and Hill, particluarly Hill with him coming from the Championship when others like Amor haven't managed to step up a level. Well in short I feel daft and should never doubt TS.

Anyway, with Chris Hill putting in outstanding performances this season; Which player has played the best in Super League in their first year out of the Championship?

I would be interested to find out other peoples opinions, can't think of many other nominations off the top of my head;
Zak Hardaker
Richie Myler
Shad Royston
Jamie Ellis (probably doesn't count)

Mickey Higham

Danny Brough

Chris Hill
Chris Hill
and errrrr Chris Hill
I think this answers your question .
This boy (in prop terms) has been outstanding this season

Just out of interest, what's the cut-off age for young player of the season

its a tough one between hill n hardaker too close to call but zak has now made webb surplus to requirements at leeds sooo Id have to opt for him

It could also be argued that Hill has relegated the club captain to the subs bench.

I think Brent Webb, made Brent Webb surplus to requirements.

no mention for Tony Tonks.........nice one nathan Brown....

Nope age has ment he needs to be rested a tad more should we get to GF id expect morley to start.

Brent webb is still better than most sl fullbacks and for someone as young and unproven to make it nigh on impossible to get back into team is an awsome achievment.

Chris to has been fantastic but i feel zak just edges it slightly for me, He and JP are only 2 players that stood out from leeds team on saturday
