Coach of the Year? : Tue Jul 31, 2018 6:43 am  

I would love to see Richard Marshal win Championship Coach of the year. He has guided our part time team to a place in the Qualifiers, (had we beaten Dewsbury we would have taken 2nd place), I think this would be the proper recognition he, the team and the club deserve what ever the outcome of the qualifying 8s is

He is the only real contender. A potatoe could have coached Toronto to top and London are full time and spend a lot of cash and only ended up level with us. None of the lower teams have really done anything they shouldnt have.

Even accounting for the odd blip, Richard Marshall is the stand out choice. There is no other logical contender. Up The Fax!

Richard Marshall without a doubt. Working on a smaller budget and exceeding expectations by getting into top 4.

He is the main contender thoughI still think Ward has done a decent job at London, and yes I know they are full time etc. But most people had them down at the bottom of the table before the start of the season.

You predicted Halifax would finish above London in the pre-season thread so surely with London finishing 2nd and Fax only 4th Ward is the only real contender? viewtopic.php?f=15&t=612006 Anyway, if we're giving the award to the coach who had most impact, the award should surely go the man whose fans felt he was wrongly overlooked in favour of John Kear two years ago? Step forward Neil Jukes.

No brainer for me. I think for me put aside the top 4 and he has learnt from the past which is the sign for me that he will only go on to improve. I do think the fact that he went and shadowed Powell and Sheridan at games has helped. It always helps if you can pick the best bits from others and use the learning points to strengthen your own weaker points . Bottom line is you can always learn from others if you have an open mind. It's the dinosaurs with closed minds heading for extinction that I have no time for.
