I wouldn’t even have McShane in the Leeds 17 man squad, with 2 hookers, and we’re terrible.

Are you really Kevin Sinfield?

It would the easiest thing to go for players from my own club so I'd vote for Bateman.

Tremendous everytime I see him and will be a huge loss for the pies next season.

I've told myself for years that Bateman just isn't big enough & will get found out eventually. But he hasn't & I was wrong; an absolutely brilliant player. A loss to our game but I can't wait to see how he copes against the Aussies in his best position week in, week out.

Anyone who thinks Casty hasnt had a good season dont know rugby league.

For me he is in the same bracket as Bateman (maybe not to the same extent), very influential even if the stats done prove it.

He is my man of steel. people who think the man of steel should be just the best player or who has played the best with the best stats, are missing the whole point of the award. They should bring back the league player of the year, like they used to and the MOS should be separate. Some players in the past one both and fair enough, but some previous MOS winners would not get a look in in the current format.

Difference is Saints have been the best team for the majority of the year by a distance. I haven’t disregarded the try assists statistics just that they don’t mean everything. For me the MOS should be someone who offers attacking quality as well as being physically powerful. Bateman offers the latter but not the former, his inability to pass does cost try’s. Going off what I’ve just said, Roby fits that better than anyone else.

But they haven't have they.

If you knew him like I do you’d have the same opinion.

Anyway pal what you saying we grab a pint at the game on Friday?

For those who aren't aware, this is another 'Troll', there are enough genuine Trinity fans on here doing a good enough job of embarassing us without the trolls joining in......

They certainly have, I assume you've been on holiday away from any rugby league for a couple of months. Just to give you an update Saints are close to 90% success rate with the best attacking points for, no other team comes close, for that reward they have won the League Leaders Shield and pocketed £100k for the achievement.

1) McShane
2) Bateman
3) Tupou

But apparently the LLS meant nothing when Cas won it.

Re: Man of steel : Thu Sep 27, 2018 3:55 pm  

Didn't seem to. Though they too had been streets ahead of the oppo at a similar stage of the season.
