Why don't the RFL have this decided by the public vote. They could get a premium rate line and get fans to phone in for their winner.

Look how much money it makes for Big Brother and X factor....the RFL could be rolling in it.

If people want to vote multiple times then they can they just have to pay more. Phil Clarke's phone bill for voting for Sam Tomkins could probably pay enough to bail out Leigh.

what's the difference between 'player of the year' and MOS ?
Genuine question just for the record like

Think Player of the Year is equivalent of Writers Player of the Year.

MoS is players player of the year.

Speaking to a Leeds mate on FB and he said this

a Leeds player hasn't won it since Iestyn in '98 despite... 4 x SL champs, runners up in one, coming top or near the top of the table most years and reaching 6 cup finals. Andy 'off to union now, where's my leaving prezzy' Farrell gettin it over Danny Mags (who tore a new one in most teams) in '04 really p*ssed on my chips.

When was the last time the MOS winner didn't get into the playoffs?

Jesus Christ! This is getting like the Wigan Board. How many times does it have to be said before it sinks in? It was voted for by the players, the RFL had nothing to do with it.

A brilliant (on his day) but sometimes inconsistent stand off. The stand out player in a team which has had an inconsistent season only managing to beat a top four team once, was on the end of a few drubbings and missed out on the playoffs. Made it to the cup semifinal but never really looked like getting any further. Opted to play rugby for a lesser nation in order to get to play international rugby.

Lee Briers should have won MoS several times

Quite a few SL players probably read the forum and they will know how sensitive the Wigan fans are, by voting for Rangi Chase it was odds on that the Wigan forum would go into meltdown if Rangi Chase won MOS with toys and dummies flying out of the prams.

It just shows that the players are human and like a good laugh, i wouldn't fancy being a Wigan street cleaner this morning as their will be dummies, rattles and toys everywhere, at least it will be decent overtime for them.
