Man of Steel: Sam Tomkins, Ben Westwood & James Roby get nod
Sam Tomkins, Ben Westwood and James Roby have been nominated for the 2012 Super League Man of Steel award.
Full-back Tomkins, who helped Wigan to the League Leaders' Shield, was on the three-man shortlist in 2011 but lost out to Castleford's Rangi Chase.
England hooker Roby, winner of the award in 2007, has had another impressive year with St Helens.
And first-time nominee Westwood has been in fine form in the second row for Challenge Cup winners Warrington.
Every Super League player gets the chance to vote for the winner, with the final results announced at a dinner in Manchester on 1 October.
Bradford second row John Bateman, Leeds full-back Zak Hardaker and St Helens utility back Josh Jones have all been shortlisted to win the Young Player of the Year award.

Sinfield is consistant and so are many leeds players but at the end of the day he is not the best player in super over a year if it was over a decade or 5 years then i would agree with you but it is the consistantcy of him that makes him outstanding. That is the same about many of your players

Strange how Rhino's fans are suggesting that McGuire's ban has been influenced by Wigan, when it is arguably Wigan's best player this season (McLorum) who has been banned (and rightly so) for all the games during the playoff's.

#4 ‘2 forwards and one poncey back’!
Do you watch RL? There are now only 4 specialist positions; dummy half, specialist playmaker/kicker (of which there are at least two sometime three in a team), wing and full back. The differential between forwards and backs ended years ago and IMO the sport is much poorer for it. Tomkins for MOS incidenatlly.

PeteH - yeah because Thaler has not piggy back leeds to a challenge cup final and semi final this year. Dont forget McIlorum is banded for the final aswell. Wat is would say is Super League is ridiculously inconcistant on these matters
