Seen Hull a fair few times live and on DVD and other than the odd moment such as his tackle in the derby he really isn't anything special. Liam Watts seems like a fair choice to me if he's won it but Farrell can't be far behind, he's not set a foot wrong, works hard in attack and defence and has a good brain for knowing when to offload and stuff. Briscoe is a poor version of Goulding imo
Gareth Thomas before his first game: "You wanna spend 10 mins getting smashed up by these guys..Big dudes here.."

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I think Foster will win it, there's no doubting he is a quality player, however Farrell can't be far behind him, I think for his age and lack of experience in SL before this year, he's been fantastic and has settled in really well.
IMO Watts would not be a worthy winner; good player but nothing fantastic.

Foster hasn't played enough games, IMO. Nor has Faz.

Has Liam Watts played enough games? Probably so i'd say, however from the games that he has played my opinion of him is that he is a good player, but nothing outstanding.
IF Foster and Farrell haven't played enough games, at least from the games that they have played they have shown outstanding capabilities IMO.
I see Foster and Farrell in the England squad in future years. I don't see Watts in such a priveleged position.

Watts has played most games this season (about 30, I think), but I haven't seen enough of him (or any other club's player, really) to make a judgement.

I would tend to think that number of games played played would be a factor, if only because it shows how well they're regarded at their clubs - Sam played 27 games last year.
