This i can agree with but it doesnt make it right that they get selected because rest of team is poor,that makes that mona's as been punished because rest of team as been good

Chase was the best player on the pitch in the England v Exiles game.

Bit gutted for Monas, but on the plus side, he should blame the rest of our squad because I can only imagine our collective efforts this year have prevented any one player from taking all the lime light.
Roby is phenomenal, end of. And I'm quietly convinced that the positive's in their season thus far have been largely due to his influences. Therefore, he's worthy of being in the three.
Chase is pretty much everything to Cas. I actually like them and mean absolutely no disrespect when I say that too. They're bringing through some decent young talent, however, I do get the impression that if you take Chase out of Cas, it's like removing the lube from the schlong - things will no longer be anywhere near as smooth!
And as for Sam Tomkins, no one can deny his worthiness at being arguably the main candidate. Yes, he was a tool for giving the v's at Wembley, yes he annoys people with some of his antics, but let's face it, the kid is raw natural talent. That of which we are not often accustomed to in SL.
Tricky decision. I think Roby may sneak it if I'm honest.

Roby is my choice of the 3 Sam t is a class player but his petulance lets him down imo i think the 2 finger salute could had harmed his chances, just a matter of interest who chooses the shortlist

Roby has stood out in an average team for most of the season and has been unstoppable for 5000 metres. Wonder if we get to know the nomination scores, Mona's must have been 4th in the reckoning.
The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.
