If you look closely, Roby's stats this season are roughly as impressive as last seasons. Probably the reason that he isn't being "praised from the roof-tops" is because, what he did last year was not worthy of the ridiculous adulation that he received for his 20-30 minutes stints of action per game.
His nomination and subsequent win, devalued, what was once, one of the highest individual player honours at the end of the British season.
I mean, no one was claiming the likes of impact players Feka or Maurie for the award, yet their performances for the team (and subsequent impact on matches), merit far higher than the likes of Sinfield, Cunningham, Morley et all who have been considered by fans as possibilities for this years nomination. Yet the actual game-time for both, must only merit them as "bit-part-players" in comparison with more seasoned and regular starting players.
