We are delighted to confirm Marc Sneyd has been nominated for the Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel.
Our magnificent halfback has been recognised for his stellar individual season alongside fellow competitors, Mikey Lewis and Matt Dufty.
The winner will be named at Rugby League’s Awards Night next Tuesday (October 8) at the Royal Armouries in Leeds.
Sneyd, who recently signed a two-year contract extension, broke record after record in 2024 and has already received the Coaches, and Players’ Player of the Year at our annual awards evening.
Add that to winning the highly-coveted Albert Goldthorpe Medal and his first inclusion in the Betfred Super League Dream Team, then Sneyd has already got a cabinet full of individual accolades for his 2024 campaign.
With playoff rugby already secure, Sneyd was afforded a rest in Round 27, but prior to that, he was joint first in Super League for points scored (210) – adding another two during our recent Playoff Eliminator.
His trusty left boot kicked 98 goals at a staggering 88.9%, which, only inclusive of regular club kickers, was by far the most prolific across the Super League.
Four field goals and three tries make up the remaining points and his three 40/20’s have often swung the momentum in key moments.
A total of 22 try assists sees him only second to Lewis and Leigh’s Lachlan Lam across the competition, with his 16 assists from kicks the highest.
But them incredible numbers only tell you one story; Sneyd has been the difference in countless big games for the Red Devils during 2024.
On being nominated, Sneyd has said: “It’s a fantastic honour to be nominated for such a prestigious award.
“I’ve enjoyed my rugby this year and a lot of credit goes to the lads, and the coaching staff for the hard work they’ve put in throughout the season.
“We’re disappointed to not be competing in the semi-finals this weekend, but it’s been a memorable season for the Club and we already can’t wait to get back amongst it next year.”
