Yet not good enough for England ...

The correct decision. Well done Danny.

Peacock was my pick but well done Danny Brough,a superb year.

Well deserved.

Not English Enough you mean, Brough has decided he's Scottish this year.

Anyway well don Danny I would have had Peacock but both have had great seasons.

Full list of awards

The award winners in full from the 2013 Super League Man of Steel dinner are as follows:
Top metre maker – Jamie Peacock (Leeds Rhinos)
Top try-scorer – Josh Charnley (Wigan Warriors)
Hit man – Danny Houghton (Hull FC)
Rhino Top Gun – Kevin Sinfield (Leeds Rhinos)

Outstanding Achievement – Stuart Fielden and Shaun Briscoe
Foundation of the Year – Leeds Rhinos
Club of the Year – St Helens
Young Player of the Year – Ben Crooks (Hull FC)
Coach of the Year – Paul Anderson (Huddersfield Giants)
Man of Steel – Danny Brough (Huddersfield Giants)
.

Just a query what have Saints done to get club of the year.

Cannot disagree with any of the awards really. Crooks deserved his award but i think Escare would have got it if Webb had not come back at the end of the season.

Built and run a new stadium and training centre in the midst of a recession (including charitable events, eg the St Helens 10K for Steve Prescott Foundation); helped Rochdale to be promoted (their coach is one of ours; they use our training facilities, etc); worked well with Whitehaven in our partnership with them; run all sorts of events and community schemes including toddler club, healthy living, expanding RL throughout the borough and in our outreach area of Liverpool (including partnership with the Liverpool Wheelchair RL club); managed our finances in an excellent way. And all that has been steadily built up since 2002 when our present chairman took over the club. I think an award is fully justified in recognition of a totally transformed Saints.

And we even have cladding all around the stadium now!

Had to give stains something as 5 years without a trophy was making them suicidal......

. So what's the best half back in SL to do? Sit out the World Cup?

He didn't pick him at the end of last year because A he was carrying an injury and B his form wasn't good.

When Brough spat his dummy out no squad had been picked for the WC what Danny did was not even give McNmara the option of picking him. McNamara said he only wanted players that were 100% commited to playing for England, Brough clearly wasn't.

The squad is only named today. Had Brough not thrown his toys out of the pram earlier in the season, McNamara would no doubt have selected him in the squad today.
