I might have mis-heard this. but I was listening to the Five Live Extra commentary on the Hudds/Cats game last night. At one point, I could have sworn I heard the commentator say something along the lines of "They made the Challenge Cup Final, finished third in the League and HAVE THE MAN OF STEEL IN David Hodgson".

Was this a slip-up by the BBC man and he accidentally confirmed that the votes have been counted, but the result not made public yet, or was it just a slip of the tongue and he meant to say "and could have the MOS"...

Personally, I think Hodgson deserves it, so there would be no arguments from me on this score. I was just wondering whether anyone else heard this, or whether I just mis-heard.

I think graham should walk it.

He usually does.....hard to run when tears streaming down his face after losing his dummy

I think you have misheard mate!

That's a new one!

Getting a little bit boring now mate.

One thing for sure, no Leeds player will be man of steel.

Fair enough. Thought I probably did (us old men have trouble hearing!) Was just interested to know whether anyone could give me a definite answer. Mind you, Graham doesn't sound much like Hodgson

DAVID Hodgson is NOT in the three nominations, so someone is incorrect - probably both (you & the commentator).

David Hodgson has been the best winger by far this year, deserved accolade, wish we had him in our front row.

We don't have one player doing all the work, that's why.

I was just thinking the same thing, It's a nice award to win, but really who gives a dam? I'm sure the trophey was no consolation what so ever to graham or any of the saints players or fans last year! for what it's worth I think graham has no chance this year, it's a popularity comp and graham has maybe shown himself up a bit this season, some of his actions won't sit well with his peers.

I agree graham has shown himself up at times but it's not a popularity comp at all!

It's who's had biggest impact on the season and played well through the year.

IMO graham has been all that.

I agree graham has played well all year, but I can see moz getting it as he is one of the nice guys in the sport, I think a lot of players will vote for him as he's played well and is a top bloke

I think at the end of the day the nod will go to Hodgson. Judging from the interviews with players who made the dream team quite a number said their vote would be for Hodgson. Most of the others seemed to go to Graham and an odd one for Moz.

Hodgson has been good at times but he has also been pretty gash at times, but no doubt his leadership has helped turn hudds around

Who gives a dam.....

Hmmmm have a word with all the Wigan fans after Roby won it.

James I rated so Highly, but this season the game Potter has made him play has ruined him, he looks so jaded compared to last season. I was surprised he was in the final 3 nominations.

For me it has to be Brett Hodgson all round he has been heads above both Graham and Morley and that is why the RL Writers give him their award.

The dodgy panel were still voting for if then

Potter has done nothing at all to ruin jammer!!!

How the hell can it be Potters fault that cayless, maurie have missed so many games?

In fact jammer has been just as good, if not better this year.

Just blame potter for everything FFS

When is the poll taken? If not yet, the natural human tendency towards 'recency' will work against that skinny bloke who has had some shaky moments against us and Catalans; and Moz hasn't been seen on telly for a while. So, a stand-out performance by Jammer on Saturday and the trophy's his again.

Potter should never have expected James to have to play the game he has, it took away all his natural ability, if you have never seen how jaded he looks then the "rose coloured glasses" are doing a good job.

Questions have to be asked when a forward is released and then brought back a year later, you can't expect young lads to run a pack.

And how is that Potters fault?

He wasn't even here when fozzard left.

You don't need to ask me twice St pete - LOL - Potter as coach should have made clear to the Management when he needed someone in the pack not have to put some pressure on a young player, St Helens are not really the big spenders?
