Man of Steel
The Man of Steel Award is presented to the men’s player of the year.
In 2014, the award was renamed after former England player Steve Prescott, after a petition with over 12,000 signatures was sent to the Rugby Football League, calling for the award to be renamed in Prescott’s honour.
The voting has recently changed to a system similar to the Australian Dally M Medal, with points being awarded to the best performing players after each game (three points for the man of the match, two points for the runner-up, and one point for the third-best player).
