I would like to see this changed personally.... to 'players player of the season'... as i feel the title is misleading.
Man of Steel, to me indicates someone of great strength and bravery.... heroism and courage....respect and honour.
Last year it was won by a goalkicking winger (who would no way have won it if he hadnt been a goalkicker)...The year before that it was a goalkicking fullback, who cant tackle his own dinner (sorry but its true.. no matter how good he is with ball in hand)..... and this years favourite likes to bend the rules and dives on the floor to get out of the way of tackles.
MOS my booty.... They should give it to Roby and bring some respectability back to the award.. he has played with broken bones this season on a number of occasions, breaking records in the process...

What he said,would like to think M monaghan would be in the same category as Roby.both outstanding players this year.
That ones awarded by the writers.....you know, those people who copy the reports placed on the news wire by one of the colleagues and stick their names on the bottom.

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!
I agree, but then he was voted Player of the Season by the same people who think Joel Monaghan has been a better winger than Matt King this season. The players may have a different opinion.
I agree with changing the name though. Good though he is I would hardly think of Tomkins as a 'Man Of Steel'. That title would be far better 'worn' by a Morley, Westwood, Graham, Roby, etc. Players Player and Writers Player would be better names.

Eddie Hemmings said not wrote:"Remember last time they were here, the Huddersfield Giants, they lost to a Luke Walsh drop goal. He's only scored four drop goals in his St Helens career has Luke Walsh and each and every one of them have been scored by Luke Walsh"
agreed, if james roby doesnt get that award this year then the whole thing is a joke, if you look at the super league stats this year hes at the top for nearly everything the effort that lad puts in is unreal playing with broken bones and when hes unfit but yet hes always there putting in 80 minutes week in week out, but its always the people who work the hardest like roby, monaghan, morley, wilkin, o'loughlin to name a few who these team just wouldnt play the same without but sam tomkins will end up getting it wont he becuase he has scored alot of individual good tries but IMO it shouldnt be about that i mean james roby has done 5000 metres a thousand ahead of tomkins, 948 carries about 200 ahead of the next player the most runs from dummy half around 350 ahead of the next player hes in the top 10 for nearly everything i mean that is just unreal that guy deserves more than a trophy but tomkins has scored the most tries so he should get it
