In what sport is "The Man of Steel" award made?

I'll take a shot and say Rugby

Yes, SR, let's guess rugby league not rugby union. (Bedstor posts from the North , where the 13 -a -side, no lineouts,no loose mauls, no teeth remaining after your first game, version is top, and Wigan, his town, was long the top team )

Good spot SR (Fred Too)It's the equivalent of the Player of the Year award in British soccer
But it goes to the Nominated player in the Rugby League season or the Superleague season which is played in Summer with the most of the Winter teams (same lineups) playing in the same team name but with a bit of Americanism thrown in with such names as Wigan Warriors (in the last few years)
