Shocked by his omission from the Man of Steel shortlist so I've started this thread.

Peacock, for me, is the oustanding player of his generation (GB wise) and the best player ever to play for Leeds.

Agree or disagree?

As an overall player, Hanley was better.
As a contributor to Leeds, I'd say Peacock is certainly up there.

How the hell isn't he on the Man of Steel list?
I've not looked, but please don't tell me Tom Briscoe is? Phil Clarke came out with another outlandish statement the other week claiming he should be a contender, jesus wept.

A subjective subject.

Peacock (and Sinfield) have been our two greatest players.

However the three guys nominated have had better 2015 seasons. Simple really, it's a season award not a career award.

There's no doubt Peacock has been a great player and has contributed massively to the Leeds club. That's not a reason for him to make the MOS shortlist for this year as that is solely based on this years performance and not a place for sentiment because a player is retiring. If it was the shortlist would be Peacock, Morley and Wellens. The players have voted for the shortlist and he wasn't in their top 3 and rightly so IMO.

He will no doubt be considered for The Hall of Fame in 5 years time

I think JP had a bit of a short quiet period towards mid season, Cuthbertson and Hardaker have been massive for Leeds this year, Walmsley similar for Saints. Peacock always gives 100% but a bit less dominant in 2015.

Peacock could, perhaps should, have won it in one or other of the last couple of seasons. He was carrying Leeds' pack to massive degree then. This season he has been a little less dominant - partly by design as Leeds have improved the pack but perhaps also a very slight tapering off towards the end (which still leaves him well above the average prop).

Is he the greatest ever Leeds player? I imagine Holmes, Jones, Peacock and Sinfield would be four of most/many people's top five, but it's very hard to say which was the no. 1.

Undoubtedly there are Grand Finals Leeds wouldn't have won, wouldn't even have been in without Peacock but the same applies to Sinfield. Of these two Sinfield for me perhaps edges it, partly because of being a one club player; partly because he is, just about, a tangible link with the Bad Leeds era as well as 2003 etc so his triumphs carry association with more traumas than Peacock's; and also partly because Sinfield runs the show, and set and continues to set a lead throughout the football dept of the club.

Rhinos player defo top 3. Leeds player too hard to say.

No, plenty of more influential players including Sinfield in this decade. Great player though and if GB had 13 players of his caliber we would have won something by now.

I'm sure him and Sinfield will pick something up at the awards thing anyway.

Maybe Sinfield will win 'Best Referee 1997-2015'

One of my all time favourite players of all time mate. But not up there with Richie Spedding as Leeds greatest.
