Anyone but Ratboy.



Would prefer Roby though.

Please don't suggest that leeds didn't have any players worthy of MOS in those seasons

i would have no hesitation in any of the 3 players winning it,i think that roby has been the best player this season without a doubt and definately has played better that when he won this award after coming off the bench all season.

westwood has also been outstanding,he is one tough player and one i wish was at the Rhino's without a doubt

sam hasn't had as good a season this year in comparison to his previous ones so i'm not sure if he will win it or not?

i hope that zak wins the young player of the year award as i believe that he has been by far the best candidate

When Ratboy signed a 5 year contract, it was written in that he has to win Man of Steel every year.

True Story

Westwood for me......wish he was the much speculated Leeds 'big name signing'.

I can't remember any years where there has been a standout player in the leeds team [iand[/i the player who won MOS wasn't a worthy winner.



In 2004 leeds had a few big standouts, but andy farrell was still pretty worthy of the award. He single handedly at time dragged that wigan team into 4th place and then into the final eliminator.



In 2005 sinfield was pretty good for leeds.....in the first half of the season. Jamie Lyon was a standout player for saints throughout and almost beat leeds on his own in the last 15 minutes of the playoffs.



2006

Leeds had no one worthy of being nominated.



2007, pretty much the same as above, even though they won the title. No one player consistently influenced leeds or went above and beyond. Roby shouldn't have won it though. He tore a few teams to shreds on sky sports after the WCC, stevo and eddie gizzed themselves over him and apparently that was sufficient to win MOS, a' come on and run at tired defence in the last 5 minutes of each half player'.



2008, damn again, leeds won the title but no one player from leeds consistently stood out or influenced them. One week you'd be thinking ellis looked pretty tasty, then the next week burrow would score a couple of try and turn the game, sinfield would be MOM the week after. James Graham won it that year i think?



2009 errm, kinda the same as above

This.

I've enjoyed watching westwood more than the other two this year so he would get my vote

Westwood for me. Thought it a while back. Would be nice to see one of the workhorses getting the nod and not one of the fancy pants glamour players..

Westwood = Steel



Cap fits.......

Tomkins, like him or loathe him, is the most gifted player in the country. If it'd going to be a flashy back, it has to be him.



Roby has made up for an undeserved win in 2007 (should have been Trent Barrett IMO) by becoming the league's best #9 ever since. Can still make those trademark breaks, distributes pretty well and has a ludicrous, and oftne underestimated, workrate. Couldn't argue with him winning it. Should also captain England in the post-Peacock era IMO.



Westwood would be my choice. He's a blunt object rather than a precision instrument, but he's definitely steel. His defensive efforts can turn games. Machine.



As people have said abovem I wouldn't honestly say there was a year when a Leeds player should clearly have won MOS since Iestyn Harris. I still think Sinfield should have got the nod in 2005 but I can see why Lyon got it. I also think Sinfield would have been in the top 5 or 6 players in almost all those seasons. If MOS was awarded for consistency over a period of 12 or 13 years, he'd be a shoe-in.

There were Leeds players worthy, but I think the other players deserved it more
