Who is the Welsh Player of the Year 2007/08?

With an exciting season of club rugby drawing to a close, the S4C pundits reveal who they would crown as the best Welsh player of the season.

Brynmor Williams

Shane Williams

He's so elusive and adventurous and he wants to take responsibility all the time, which is a rare quality for a winger. But Ryan Jones comes very close, certainly playing a starring role among the pack. I have to praise his performance and leadership on the pitch.

Gareth Roberts

Shane Williams

Without a doubt. He was the star of the Six Nations' Championship this year by scoring six tries in five games. The winger created history by breaking Gareth Thomas' try-scoring record for Wales.

Gwyn Jones

Shane Williams

He has been excellent playing for Wales this season. His contribution to the Grand Slam winning squad was fantastic. And Lee Byrne has cemented his place as the first choice Wales full-back with his new found confidence.

Huw Llywelyn Davies

Shane Williams

Purely for the reason that he scored six tries in this year’s Six Nations' Championship. He provides inspiration in almost every match and he's always ready to try the unexpected. Shane, more than anyone else, can excite the crowd when he’s got the ball.

Lyn Davies

Alun-Wyn Jones

The lock has improved and matured in every game he's played. He's an old head on young shoulders and offers something different to the majority of players. He's young enough to develop his talents and learn new skills. I can definitely see Alun-Wyn as a future Welsh captain.

Sarra Elgan

Lee Byrne

The star of the show. He has become a very confident full-back. Ryan Jones has also led by example in his new role as Welsh captain and Shane's contribution has been immense.

Wyn Gruffydd

The decision to choose Ryan Jones as captain was very sensible in my opinion because he didn't carry the baggage of the disappointing World Cup as he was injured at the time. Shane Williams also made an impression, but I think Deiniol Jones, even though he didn't feature much for Wales, deserved his place as part of the squad because of his consistency playing for the Blues over the past two seasons.
