RL fans showing their ignorance of other sports on this thread - and wonder why RL gets no recognition in the national press about anything slightly positive!

Small town game for small town/small minded people!

McIlroy certainly should be. Isn't he representing Ireland at the next Olympics as he also did as an amateur?

Hamilton is, justifiably, nailed on for the main award.

jo pavey for me - a true inspiration to all older people out there that a sporting career does not necessarily end at 34.

Agreed, I'll actually bother to vote for her, she'd be a worthy winner.

Out of the rest three aren't even sports; golf (pastime), dressage (seriously!) & F1 (because having the best engineer/car doesn't help at all ) Hamilton is a moody and petulent man child (still) & a total robot. Gareth who, what the hell has he achieved ffs! Froch, seriously scraping the barrel, he's had ONE fight in 2014..ONE!! Andre Ward would kick his arris (again) but Froch won't go near the champion because he knows he'd be shown up.
The now obligatory disability athlete in there because it's un PC not too.

As it is it should be Pavey and behind her should be Peaty & Max Whitlock, both have had an amazing last 12 mths, Peaty with 6 golds and a silver at just 19 (4 golds at the commonwealth's) and Whitlock at 21 has 4 golds & 3 Silver medals this year including an amazing Silver in the all-around at the worlds (behind 5 time champion Uchimura) when he was so out of sorts beforehand.

Yeah SB deserves to be in there, in one of the toughest sports in the world he IS the alpha male.

The St.Evenage car punk or the Irish ball whacker will win it though

Does anybody actually watch the show? It's boring as hell and entirely pointless.

Not a bad year for someone whose won nothing at world level

Id say he easily qualifies for the SPOTY this ahead of sam burgess no matter how much we all wanted sam to be apart of it

Any time you're in a swimming competition that doesn't have the US or the Australians (or both), it's cheap medals. It's like England winning an RL World Cup that didn't have Australia or New Zealand in it.

Don't worry, I won't be missing you! Good to see you came back with a well reasoned argument to my point - oh no, wait a minute...... Bye!
