[josie andrews]

HERE’S who got the Albert Goldthorpe Medal points this week as the best performers in each Super League match…

Hull KR 26-18 Catalans Dragons

impressive try.

3 pts – Jack Walker (Hull KR)
2 pts – Julian Bousquet (Catalans Dragons)
1 pt – Brad Schneider (Hull KR)

Wigan Warriors 26-8 Salford Red Devils

Bevan French effectively controlled the game at stand-off and two amazing offloads resulted in tries.

2 pts – Jai Field (Wigan Warriors)
1 pt – Patrick Mago (Wigan Warriors)

Hull FC 12-28 Leeds Rhinos

It was a day to remember for the most unlikely hat-trick hero, Sam Lisone.

2 pts – Cameron Smith (Leeds Rhinos)
1 pt – Sam Walters (Leeds Rhinos)

3 pts – George Williams (Warrington Wolves)
2 pts – Matt Dufty (Warrington Wolves)
1 pt – Paul Vaughan (Warrington Wolves)

Leigh Leopards 34-16 Huddersfield Giants

Tom Amone was a standout Friday performer in this historic two-day match, driving superbly and causing all kinds of problems for the Giants’ defence, but John Asiata was at his level best on Sunday, lifting Leigh to another level.

2 pts – Tom Amone (Leigh Leopards)
1 pt – Will Pryce (Huddersfield Giants)

Some players play in every game and get no points.

True. I often wonder who selects the players.

I think Albert Goldthorpe medal is run by “League Express” media company ?
If anyone can confirm ?

its not difficult from him to stand out in the Wire team though is it . he has virtually nil / nada competition as they've been so poor after the start of the season, hence the odd ball winners every few years, who no-one would contemplate as Man of Steel contenders

if you take the Wigan team on a weekly basis it is likely that Field, Miski, Marshall, French are all in contention before a ball has been kicked. Saints, Welsby, Percival, Makinson, Lomax, Dodd, Walmsley, so unlikely that a Wigan or Saints player would pick it up

playing devils advocate here too, many on here are complaining that French isnt a 6 as long as they've got a hole in their a****, but he's currently running 2nd. Does that mean we have no idea what we are talking about on here or that he's actually doing a half decent job at 6 or the panel dont have a clue??

Its a mess.Liam farrell was the best player on the pitch and wasnt in the top three and byrne got mom and wasnt either.The system stinks( just ask trent barrett) although it was done differently then, so called

thats the initial part of the problem in that we all see a game / players performances differently, and no doubt that could be impacted from where we watch the game in a ground as you see many different things from up high v at pitch level, in the East / West v North or South

So you would think a panel of experts, would be able to see a game something like fans who can see when player X is by far the best player on the pitch. I'm assuming the panel watch every game back on TV, so at least they have a consistent view

players like Byrne arent fashionable and even though he may be dominant on the pitch, he doesnt skittle defenders like Walmsley does, but probably far more effective defensively. So, whilst the match sponsors saw him fit to be MoM, the panel poss dont feel he did enough and thus French, creating 2 tries and controlling the game (their words) is probably seen more worthy for the points

i personally dont know the answer and as we all know, its far easier for someone playing well in a poor team to stand out than someone in one of the better teams
