All outstanding players ...

No Brandon Douglas?
Most consistent performer in our team every week imo

On the write up, Boyle pretty much got it for playing his 250th game.

Utter nonsense, Douglas is by far the best prop I've seen at the keepmoat this year Boyle has been one of the worst.

Don't see why Douglas should miss out on this recognition for sentiment

I have rarely thought these mean anything, there is no person who watches every game in our division in order to do this. Whether we have players in or not the decision I am pretty sure is arbitrary.

I echo the sentiments about Douglas, excellent signing

I’m conscious of Carl’s recent comments about player criticism and appreciate the time & effort put in by players for our entertainment.

I really hope RB has a storming performance one day and shows his ability but I’m not sure about making Team of the Month this time around.

Fully justified where Kes in concerned - consistently good performances.

Douglas is an outstanding young prop. His performances are getting better each week. Very surprised Halifax didn’t resign him because he looks championship quality... let’s just hope Hull don’t get many more injuries in the forwards.... as for Boyle, well let’s just say who every picked this team obviously hasn’t been watching many of our games.

Boyle did some nice little passes yesterday that resulted in breaks ... is primary role is to put his head down and take the line on and offload if possible if he gets stopped.
He is a good tackler if he can lay a hand on runners.
What pace he once had is more or less gone and when he was more mobile I should imagine he was decent.

It is a bit of a pointless excersise really and as Jemmo says fairly arbitrary. I'm not going to criticize Ryan but he is certainly not one of the top two props in the division. Brandon Douglas has been outstanding but Connor Scott deserves some love!
