WARRINGTON Wolves were among the winners at tonight’s Man of Steel Awards, although shortlisted Ben Currie missed out on the Super League Young Player of the Year honour.
Back rower Currie, Wolves’ top try scorer with 19 in 2015 and a tip for an England call-up, was pipped by Wigan stand off George Williams, whose teammate Joe Burgess was also in the three-man shortlist.
The Steve Prescott Man of Steel winner was confirmed as Leeds Rhinos full back Zak Hardaker.
Both of those awards were last year won by Wolves’ current number nine, Daryl Clark.

Also at the event, former Wolves prop forwards Adrian Morley and Garreth Carvell were among the retiring players receiving outstanding contribution awards for making more than 200 appearances.
Both were key men in the Wolves squads that won the Challenge Cup in 2009, 2010 and 2012, the League Leaders’ Shield in 2011 and Grand Finalists in 2012 and 2013.
