Take a look at the latest odds to win the Rob Burrow Award in the Super League Grand Final as Warrington Wolves take on Wakefield Trinity.
Hull Kingston Rovers became the fifth team in the Super League era to win the Grand Final last year when beating Wigan Warriors, and either Warrington or Wakefield will see their name etched on the trophy on Saturday night.
It's also remarkably the first time the Super League Grand Final hasn't been contested by any of Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors or St Helens.
The two teams look almost impossible to separate on paper, with just two points between them in the regular season.
On only three occasions has a player on the losing side won the Harry Sunderland Trophy, now named the Rob Burrow Award after the late Leeds Rhinos great, with ex-Warrington man Stefan Ratchford the most recent.
Nearly two-thirds of recipients (16 out of 27) were try scorers at the Grand Final, so it certainly does players' chances no harm by crossing the whitewash.
Unsurprisingly, players in the thick of the action have shone in the final with halves and hookers frequent recipients, though Luke Thompson, Kevin Naiqama and Jake Wardle won in 2019, 2021 and 2023 from prop, centre and centre respectively.
Key man George Williams is the 9/2 favourite for Warrington in the Player of the Match market, with opposite number Jake Trueman 5/1.
Ewan Irwin is next in the betting, slightly ahead of Jack Sinfield, who aims to follow in father Kevin's footsteps, with the former Rhinos man named Harry Sunderland Trophy winner in 2009 and 2012.
The stage might be set for the outstanding Tyson Smoothy (9/1) in his final Wakefield game before returning to Australia. The hooker quickly endeared himself to the Trinity faithful and will hope to sign off in style at Old Trafford.
