Shaun Lane's performance for the Eels in Townsville shows why the smart money is on the lanky forward to be named the Dally M second-rower of the year.There's a hot field for the title - but no one has been more consistent than Lane, whose miracle pass to winger Maika Sivo ultimately won the Eels their shot at grand final glory.Lane has it all - a fine running game, good hands, the ability to read the play and a high work-rate in defence.He ran for 135 metres against the Cowboys, tackled solidly and came up with THAT try assist.The Eels will need him at his best to beat the Panthers - but he is a player with the attacking skills that may just be able to unlock the Penrith defensive wall.
