Has there actually been a standout performer this season ? Peacock and Hill at Wire probably the best bets .
Although given the prevailing love of all things Cas , don't discount Clark .
I think it always seems different when front rowers are the best players rather than flashy halves or outside backs who may score or set up tries for fun. I think it's more obvious to stand out when you do that rather than just pile forward and tackle like your life depends on it in the front row.
Hill and Peacock have been great. I watch Hill most weeks and I have to say I think he's amazing, I will be bias with that opinion as he's one of my team's players. But he stands up at the level with any forward in the NRL for me. Peacock too, though. He's as good now as he was five years ago and more. He's not as fast, but that's a given, but still stands ahead of far younger props at any other clubs.
I think Clark has a shout but I think he's nailed on for Young Player.. He's been great. But so has Millington, Shenton and a few others at Cas...and a mention to Kevein Brown who has been very good this season.
Hill or Peacock though and either way you'd say they would deserve it.
