Congratulations to Rangi, great achievement

As for the Wigan fans....well if they feel brave enough then maybe should ask some players as to why Tomkins didn't win?

I am guessing they will say what we see...a talented but arrogant and sneaky rugby league player!

I don't really get what MoS is any more - the shortlist seems to be just a 'player of the year' rather than being based on the original concept of toughness and, well, steel; if it were, Roby would be a dead cert.

Given that it is what it is however, Chase is worthy winner over Tomkins and I agree with the poster above; by voting this way, players have said what many supporters have been saying for a couple of seasons now - Tomkins is a great player, but his niggly, cheating Wigan way makes him unpalatable and unpopular.

Congratulations to Rangi Chase - it's good to see MoS go to a young English player...

I honestly think the only thing that separated Tompkins and Chase was the Wembley episode, What would it look like if the RFL game him the MOS after he cant even control himself on national TV

The RFL doesn't give anyone Man of Steel - it's the players who do. (apparently this year's voting was the tightest ever, fwiw)
