Good to see he is getting the recognition he deserves

well done pat, hopefully 1 of a few personnel awards going to him

Well deserved too - good on him for sticking at it after a less than perfect start to his career over here rather than bottling out and heading home like countless others have.



A player I really like - does his job with minimal fuss and seems a good bloke.

Trent Barrett won this award too, just before losing the MOS award to some mediocre scouser.



Hard lines Pat.

Fully deserved, well done Pat.

was reading league express and there was an article saying Cunningham has to get man of steel. Im the first to admit that cunningham is a fantastic player and one of the recent greats but surely there are several players in front of him this year. my fear is that in his final year and having never won this award the players will vote for him to honour is career rather than the form of this season which to fair should go to any one of Pat, Lockers, graham, westwood, morley. just wondered what other peoples thoughts are !!!!

If that happens then there surely cant be any credibility in this award. Its not a sentimental award, its about who has made the biggest impact THIS year.

it depends on what criteria you judge "making the biggest impact"

not on a dinner plate.

exactly. the award was changed so fans vote for the MOS after the Trent/Roby farce. But knowing how much respect the players have for each other i wouldn't be suprised to see them vote for one of the games modern greats in his final season. For me Pat should get it, but i wouldn't be too disappointed if someone like morley or graham got it as both have had fantastic years. But your right it would destroy credibility of the award if Cunningham were to get it in these circumstances

VERY VERY WELL DESERVED !!! IT WOULD A COMPLETE INJUSTICE IF HE DIDNT GET THE MON' A 'STEEL !

i'm sure the players of Super League will pick the best person for the award.



if Richards won it, I would have no complaints. However, I can see a number of other contenders who would be likely to get votes from across the playing community.

Well done Pat.

for me i wouldnt complain if any one of pat, lockers, graham, westwood or morley got it. any would be worthy winners. cunningham does not deserve the award THIS season in front of the above named players imo

Well done Pat you have been amazing all year !

Getting closer, but Whiston still isn't quite scouse

Sunday will be Pat's 150th appearance for the club, well done

Sunday

Thank you.......edited

Would have briers in that list aswell, but i dont think anyone will be upset with Pat winning it

Gotta love Wigan fans.



Roby wins - "this has no credibility, the players' award went to Barrett and they know best!"



MoS changes to a players' vote - "absolutely right, Roby was the final straw!"



If Cunningham wins MoS - "the players were wrong, this has no credibility, the press voted for Richards and they know best!"

It should be voted for by players, but if they do vote for Cunningham this year it will be mainly be down to the fact they're acknowledging that it's his final year before hanging up his boots and not for his performances.



Do you agree?

Well there wouldnt be any credibility as KC doesnt deserve to win the MoS just because its his final year. There are plenty of worthy winners ahead of KC. As ive said before this isnt a sentimental award.

I agree entirely, but it's the system Wigan fans said would eliminate any wrong decisions because "the players know best".



It's not a big point anyway since there's no way Cunningham will win it.



It would be worth it just to see Fishsta combust anyway.
