So which of these would you have been happy that Saints signed if they had been available (obviously apart from Ben Barba)?
2013 - Danny Brough
2014 - Daryl Clark
2015 - Zak Hardaker
2016 - Danny Houghton
2017 - Luke Gale
2018 - Ben Barba
2019 - Jackson Hastings
2020 - Paul McShane
2021 - Sam Tomkins
2022 - Brodie Croft
It's the best player in an average team that's going to get the MoS points week on week, rather than the player that has had the overall best impact on the league across the season.
You look at James Roby, because he puts in a minimum of an 8 out of 10 every week, it's become the norm, so nobody sees it as being special. Granted, he won the MoS back in 2007, but that was as an interchange, coming off the bench for Cunningham?
