I think logically you have to look at the type & age of the forwards that are likely to be attracted to SL. The likes of Thaiday ,SBW & Gallen are basically of the same mindset as the other players that arrive on our shores...for whatever reason the players that we attract are not at the top of their game & cannot secure suitable contracts in Oz ,& our only hope of attracting the aforementioned stars is for them to be in a similar position or for the salary cap to be raised considerably .

Westwood has to be the stand out player in super league so far for man of steel ! Roby looking good but even I would look good in that saints team ! See how Tompkins goes when they play the better teams ! Think Leeds were concentrating on the WCC when they played the pies !

Benny for MOS

Wire win the treble

Catalans finish second in SL

According to Phil Clarke on Boots n all this week you are wrong.



His stats say that Tomkins is the stand out player in SL so far.



Call me an old cynic if you like but surely its no coincidence that 'Mr Wigans' stats have picked out a Wigan player as the stand out player. I may add that Phil's stats do seem to favour the backs (full backs especially) and would never allow for an equal comparison between backs and forwards. But dont let that get in the way of a good Wigan story.

To me this my Dad is harder than your Dad is a bit daft.

To say someone is the best in any area of Sport is purely and wholly subjective.



I think that Super Ben is a fantastic player and I am very very pleased that he plays for us.

Westwood is a superior attacker and defender to Ellis. Both great players though. Westwood has pace, ball-playing ability and the ability to make 40 tackles. Ellis is a rock-solid defender and ball-carrier, but he lacks the mongrel of Westwood.



Anyone who thinks the 'T-Rex' is better than either has spent too much time listening to Phil Gould and the Aussie-worshipping brigade. Thaiday and Gallon are certainly superb players.

Gallen is the numero uno in the world for me

Is Ben Westwood still the most underrated player in Super league (Like he was 2 seasons ago)

To be fair I always thought at the time in 1981 that calling a teenage second-row playing for Oldham in the old second division the Worlds(sic) best RL forward was stretching it a bit.

Westwood player of the month in Rugby League World.

Harrisson Hansen..

no..best 2nd rower over here by a country mile,,always gives 100%.you only have to look at him when he gets subbed,poor lad looks knackered...and what a really nice guy to talk too as well...candidate for man of steel(thats if roby dont get it for having 2 decent games)

To be fair, he looks like that at the start of the game.
