Man of Steel

Super League
by Phil G - BBC Sport (U1646112) 18 September 2008
comment on the article

So who should it be? The choice is James Graham, Leon Pryce or Jamie Peacock. Should anyone else have made the shortlist?
The winner will be decided by a poll of players for the first time since the award's introduction in 1977.
Peacock won the accolade in 2003 and is aiming to become only the fourth player to win the award twice.
The winner will be announced at the annual Man of Steel Awards dinner on 30 September.

James Graham for me probably edged it over Peacock. Westerman as well, probably the best young player this season. As for St Helens getting the award for the last 4 years, they've been the best team over that period but how James Roby got the award last year was a complete mystery.

Iaindan comments are surely contradictory?

If you want to be taken seriously please compose your argument logically.
I suggest you read Stevo's article in this week's League Express if you want an objective view of this year's choice of Man of Steel.
You are not by any chance the Leeds fan who bangs that big drum at home and away matches are you? If so that explains alot.--you are too busy composing tunes to observe what is really happening on the pitch.

Well done to James Graham but Leon Pryce deserved the award (IMNSHO).
