Wigan Warriors players Brad O’Neill and Adam Keighran, along with Leeds Rhinos’ Lachie Miller, are named on the three-player shortlist for the 2026 Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel award.

The shortlist is presented as the nominees to be considered for the league’s top individual honour. Across the outlets, the focus remains the same: the award’s shortlisting announcement and the three players selected. None of the sources report any alternative candidates, additional finalists, or reasons for the selection. The coverage is largely factual, describing who has been shortlisted rather than comparing performances or discussing prospects for the eventual winner.

All three reports use the same framing and terminology tied to the 2026 award, indicating a consensus on the nominees involved and the number of players on the list: three.
