Same way as last year with points throughout the season based on performance. They tend to hide the scores for the last few rounds though.

I thought that too so why is Bevan French on a 5 man short list when he’s 10th on the points list and Sam Tomkins not on the shortlist when he’s 5th?

In fairness he’s a player that proves the argument that the system is totally flawed. He’s been in the top five without any shadow of a doubt yet isn’t nominated. He isn’t nominated because Saints have the best player in superleague in every position according to some guys on RedVee, so he can’t possibly get enough points as they’ll be shared around that team of legends.

Ok the last bit was a joke but the point stands.

The system isn’t working for me. We’re basically going to get the stand out player in a reasonable team winning it every year as they have little competition for game points within their team. The leagues best player this season has been Bevan French without any shadow of a doubt IMO but he has to scrap for points with Faz, Hastings and so on, so it becomes next to impossible to win it for a player in a top side, who have a few standouts.

This is what you’re left with when you give the vote to the players and a reasonable percentage of them make a mockery of it with joke votes.

I agree with what you said although I don’t think French has even been our best player, he does exiting things nobody else in the league does but for me Farrell has been our best player and I think Walmsley has probably been the best player in the league imo.

I think that would be my top 3 and it could be in any order (although I think French has added something a bit special to our side that nobody else in the league has to their teams) but I think we’ll see Sezer win it, McShane 2nd and then probably Faz 3rd looking at the points before it went behind closed doors.

It sort of sums up how the whole game is run. It’s like a primary school sports day wanting to give everyone a chance.

Farrell has made more metres than Walmsley, double the number of tackles and marker tackles this season. Don't think Walmsley is MOS this year (as good as he is).

Yeah that confused me. I presumed it was because of the points being hidden recently and he has shot up the table

Sucks for Sam if he's missed out through Catalans not having as many games

Re: Man of Steel : Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:04 pm  

Surely James Roby will win it?

It’s on a points per game average.
