I think his posts this year has been very reflective in how his club is performing this year, he seems to be bigging up his players far too much or coming up with excuses when in reality most of the time everything Wigan is way below par. He does respond to the abuse and banter quite well most of the time but some of his replies seem quite odd lately.
You would think Tomkins is the likely winner of MOS. It actually makes a refreshing change that it will be a player that has played well in a good team rather than an average player in a poor team which the current system leans towards.
Welsby you would think is young player. Unless he played too many games last year to be included.
I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.
Tomkins won the RL writers award and a merit award for Gernard Guascch. I think the merit award is well deserved the way he has supported his club over the years.
I'd give it to Abdull he's been brilliant all season, and if HKR make the GF the MoS should be nailed on, as would T Smith for coach of the year.
As much as I rate Tony Smith, particularly given Hull KR's respective budget, it's worth remembering that for all the entertainment they've provided they only won 50% of their games this season and scraped into the extended play-offs right at the end. Unless it's backed up with a GF win, for me it's nowhere near the level of Watson's Salford in 2019 where expectations were probably even lower.
Hard to see past a McNamara and Tomkins combo tbh. Topped the table, performed consistently well and finally seem to have turned a corner with their away form, scoring considerably more points than anyone else in the process.
If Sam Tomkins doesn't win man of steel it'll be the biggest injustice in that award since 2007 when a load of ••••••ed up journalists decided they didn't want an aussie to win it!!!
Can't stop the spirits when they need you.
This life is more than just a read through.
