I see Arnold is up for [url=http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=rleague/09/09/28/RUGBYL_Awards.htmlSL Young Player of the Year.[/url

Tomkins must be a shoe-in for that one. No justice if he doesn't get it.

Tomkins should walk it.

without a doubt kid. superb young player

It should be tomkins, but just how funny would it be if eastmond won it?

I think our friends from over the lump would spontaneously combust! It would be a greater reaction than when Barrett lost out to Super-Sub

What makes you think Myler wont get it - he is the only one of the 3 who has played international rugby this year - that is a huge feater in his cap over the other 2.
His season has faded a little but thats down to transfer talks after showing what he can do in a struggling side.
Tompkins has only played half a season if that - no doubt he has talent - but my money would be on Myler

A fair point about international football and it's great to see that the three contenders are all half backs - an area we've struggled in internationally recently. I hope they all continue to develop apace, but I know which one I'd like to see at Saints.

I agree, give it to Myler to annoy the Goons. He has had a superb year, topped off by signing for the new dominating force in Super League. Sam Tomkins hasn't done anything like that and looks like a troll.

Eastmond shouldn't even be nominated.

IMO tomkins should get it as he's player the better week in week out but if it went on impact on the games they have played then Kyle would be in with a shout.

Kyle has won us a few games with a bit of magic but all in all tomkins has been better and is IMO the lot better player at this moment.

Year of the wolf again?

You'd have to be pretty blinkered to deny that Tomkins deserves it. Wigan were floundering before he came into the side, and he has had a genuinely significant impact on their season.

Eastmond has had some great moments and given us plenty to talk about, but his has been a cameo role really. Similarly Myler, while he has shown some real class at times, hasn't really made a significant impact on Super League.

You can't go giving awards to people who resemble trolls. It's not the done thing.

So thats Myler out then





Eastmond has had a big impact at times when he has come on the field for you but think Tomkins will just get it due to the amount of games he has played.

On another note was quite impressed with your reserves Full back and Hooker look like they might turn out very good players also good to see most of your first team there supporting the youngsters. The future for young British talent is looking good if Sunday was anything to go by.

Tompkins is the only one who wants to play for his club and show them some commitment. He has proved himself in a tough league

The other two a too easily influenced by their mutual agent and believe they are the best. Both still have something to prove IMO and the jury's still out.

Nah he's more like a hobbitt

That's an interesting turn of phrase, since you seem to have dismissed Eastmond's attitude on rumour alone.

Agreed.

As good as the players on the shortlist have been I can`t belive Ryan Hall or Scott Moore don't make the cut is 21 too old?

Yes. They both turn 22 this year.

I think Tomkins will get it and I don't have a problem with that as aside from his ugly mug and evil little ways, he's a fine player who I hope we will see gracing an England shirt very shortly.
