It's time to vote for Player of the Year at the Saints. For me that is fairly easy. I don't know who "A" will go for, but I am convinced that there is one player who has worked harder than anyone else this year. There are a few names that spring to mind, Roger Wilson for one, but I beleive that Lee Dickson has made more appearances than anyone else this season. And he has been a terrier in almost every single one of those matches.
Opinion on Lee seems divided. Some believe he should be playing for England. Others seem to think he is nothing more than mediocre. Now I actually don't think he is quite at international level yet, but I am also sure he is more than mediocre, a lot more. He controls the game well, he bosses the scrum around, his defence is among the best, and he is always looking for the quick penalty. He exudes enthusiasm. He is the epitomy of a "terrier", and that is what you need from a scrum half. He does have things to work on, he needs to perfect his spin out of the tackle so he can get a few more tries, he needs to stop waving his arms around as much, and his box kick needs polishing. But simply because he will always put his body on the line (and under the ball to prevent it being grounded) then he is my Player of the Year.
