Annoying little gyt at times, but a truly brilliant player.

Nothing to do with the cash they splashed around?
[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

I'd say Coach of the Year will be either Noble or McGuire, both have had impressive seasons in different circumstances.
I tend to agree with one of the other posters, it seems strange that Pat Richards is favourite for MOS when you don't exactly think "Watch out for this guy!" Credit to him though, when Wigan first signed him he looked like he was going to be a flop (I think they tried him in the centre at first) but he's really turned things round.
At Saints, Roby and Pryce have probably been the top performers.

Fielden signed years ago my point is we spent sweet fa (a little on deacon) yet mm has changed it around

We signed Solomona on a free and look how good he has been all season.
I agree the solomona buisness was a good deal but if you look over the last few years at both teams i'm quite sure you have spent alot more than us
