I'd have no problem voting for Logan Tomkins if he got nominated, can't see that happening though
To be fair, Sam is halfway through his career. A better example would be Paul Wellens. A one club man that was right up there with Sinfield for appearances and representing what his club was all about. If he were nominated I wouldn't hesitate to vote for him.

Yep but it’s not about rewarding a player who’s had a glittering club career though is it.
It’s purely about the achievements of a sportsman/woman in 2015.
Has Sinfield had a stellar season this year, well not IMO, has he been a great servant to the Leeds club, for sure, but the award isn’t for career achievements.
But let’s be fair, it’s very rare that the winner plays in a team sport & the only time a Union player won was when England took the World Cup!
It’s a pure pipedream that Sinfield will win the thing, even though the Leeds fans are being swept along on a tide of dewy eyed emotion.
