i wudnt put it past the RFL to give as many awards as possible to the Goons. I bet they've even invented an award for Uncle Mo

Agent Mulder
8th October 2007, 20:16
According to the Cherry and *hites it has already been leaked out that Barrett has won it but it won't be announced until 8pm.

8th October 2007, 20:22
i hope not :confused: if he is i hope another saint gets it

Saints-Crusaders
8th October 2007, 20:24
no he's still eligible, but he won't win. Sam Burgess will win it

Dux
8th October 2007, 20:25
too old isnt he

I don't think so. I seem to remember Andy Farrell won it every year til he was about 30, so I reckon Robes is alright at 21.

saintly
8th October 2007, 20:36
sam burgess desserve young player if robes doesnt get it but what the bettin kevin penny gets it!!

the_messiah_saint
8th October 2007, 20:37
there's quite a few players that stood out more the bent barrett namely most of the saints squad

rooney for one and pat richards has had a great season but the seeds were set by eddie and stevo about 5 months ago.:mad:

Be great if it's true, or any Saints player, or anyone but Barrett but I've said enough elswhere about my view of him! Not long to go now.

Blobbynator
8th October 2007, 20:55
If Roby wins MOS I'll be in shock. He's had a good season, but he's not even been our best player nevermind Super League's.

The Verminator
8th October 2007, 20:55
Someone who knows a Saints player. I can't say whether it's 100% true or not, we shall see.

Steward Saint

Confirmations: Roby = MOS
Sam Burgess = Young Player Of The Year

Trust me on this :D

Burgess has been great but has years in which to win as do Penny, Clough, Smith, Tyrer etc, Roby just still qualifies, so if he doesn't get MOS should get young player

I wonder how long it will be before Mr Ganson moves house away from the town boundary so he can be considered for the major finals! ;)

9th October 2007, 00:52
I'm absolutely made up for Robes.

What a dream season he's had!

I thought it would have been a straight 2 horse race between Wello & Barratt & Wello deserved it for mine as imho he has played better this year than when he won it last year.

But no complaints though! Well done!

Also, DA well deserved again, bet he's just as stunned to have received it 2 years running.

To top it all I can just picture the faces of those 'tach'less Wiganers who where convinced that Barrett had it in his pocketlol lol lol lol lol lol .

What a boost, if ever one was needed, ahead of the game on Saturday.

to be fair if Klein wouldn't have ballsed up in the first lace it would never have happened. Also if the RFL would have given thought to a refs positioning on a penalty it wouldn't have happened. Surprised Thaler wasn't in the top 3

No offence to the lad but I am very surprised about this as he has been quiet for the last half of the season and did not come close to eclipsing Wello in the Redvee player of the year awards.

Well done Robes, however I am baffled to the extreme that a player who does not get a regular starting pitch can be voted player of the year! ???

The honest vote would have been for TB with Donk a close 2nd for me.

I don't think the starting slot is an issue. It's a seventeen man game. Whether Roby starts or he comes off the bench, the amount of game time will be roughly the same.

I wouldn't wish to take the gloss off Roby's achievement for he is a genuine world class performer, who will probably go on to be an all-time great but I agree that Barrett and Wellens were probably more worthy winners though. They have been consistent throughout whereas Roby has been a shadow of his early season self since about May.

The last time I really disagreed with this award was in 2000 when it really should have been Keiron Cunningham, who had been our (and Super League's) outstanding performer that year yet Long got the MOS and Martyn got the POY.

It's ok people asking where Barrett was in certain games but, as a stand off, there is a certain amount of reliability on your pack to lay the platform. The best stand off in the world would not look like the best stand off on a regular basis if he played in an average team.

Barrett probably single handedly won his team more points than any other player in Super League and would have got my vote. It makes no odds as to whether I am a Saints fan or a Wigan fan. I am a Rugby League fan and I don't let club loyalties get in the way of an impartial opinion.

To be honest, I have never seen why the pundits Player of the Year is a more important award than the Players Player of the Year in any case.
