Some tough choices,

Player of the season I don't think there's a specific standout player - if Rob hadn't been shifted to 13 I'd lean towards him, but not now. Can't pick between the others tbh, maybe Wiese? His presence makes a very noticeable difference in the Tigers side. Bernhard JVR can feel hard done by not to be nominated.
Breakthrough should be Pearson, easiest pick. Honourable mention for Warr who many (including me) thought would probably leave for the Championship last season if Faf hadn't gone, and is now firmly our first choice and had a massive season.
DoR - think Kidney should be in the mix over Dowson, though can understand them picking the top 4. Bias makes me want to pick Axe, but Wigglesworth has presided over a massive turnaround at Tigers, and McCall has led Saracens to (yet) another very successful domestic season.
Community -

Of those I think I'd go:
- RdP (although there's a fair few I'd have over him)
- Pearson (who I think I'd have as Player of the Season over any of the named options)
- McCall

I must have missed something. Has Owen Farrell done anything special this season?

Weise
Pearson
Wiggly,
Unfortunately don't know enough about community players award I'm sure all are worthy.

Player of the Season shortlist:

Ollie Lawrence – Bath Rugby - key player to get bath to 8th from dead last and terrible.


Breakthrough Player of the Season shortlist:

Tom Pearson – London Irish - performs week in week out and wouldnt mind him as a wc bolter

Director of Rugby of the Season shortlist:

Richard Wigglesworth – Leicester Tigers - tigers are in top 4 with most of the coaching staff leaving.

That would be my choices

Will Muir – Bath Rugby
Joe Joyce – Bristol Bears
Hugh O'Sullivan – London Irish

How much has Rob played at 10 this season?

Just find it interesting that Farrell is shortlisted and I doubt many think he's been so outstanding and then he doesn't make the dream team.

How much has Rob played at 10 this season?

19 out of 25 games,
His form in the first of the season genuinely was superb, he was even the top kicker in the league until about Christmas which is mad when you think he used to be like a 50/50 kicker
