Long and Dobson are Man Of Steel contenders

HULL FC and Hull KR have a total of five players among the front runners with bookmakers for this year's Man of Steel award.

The RFL's official betting partner William Hill have placed key scrum-half duo Sean Long and Michael Dobson as the leading representatives of each club.

Long, who will make his Hull debut on Saturday night at the home of his former side St Helens, is 20/1 to win the prestigious award once again.

Dobson is ranked at 33/1 to become the first Hull KR Super League player to receive the award and the first since Gavin Miller in 1986.

He is joined in the leading contenders by team-mate Shaun Briscoe, who won international honours on the back of his form last season for the Robins.

Hull have two further representatives in the leading pack, with Shaun Berrigan, 33/1 and new overseas signing Mark O'Meley 40/1.

Leeds star Jamie Peacock leads the betting to win the title for a second time, while current holder Brett Hodgson is fourth favourite to become the first man to retain the honour since Paul Sculthorpe in 2002.
