So, a player on St Helens books shipped out on loan or DR, wins the Championship player of the year? What a kick in the teeth for young players on the books of actual Championship teams!

Once again S L manages to get something out of the Championship. No doubt the guy has quality, but ask : who nominates, who decides ?
Agree with Hudd-Shay disgrace !

Nominated by the coaches of all the teams in the division

Them's the rules.

Who played best in Div 2 ? That's what they had to decide.

For RM to not get coach of the year is pretty unbelievabe

Re: Matty Costello Brandon Moore : Thu Sep 27, 2018 3:10 am  

Halifax 1989 , all 3 of our nominees wear the blue and white of Halifax with pride.

Not to be confused with any other colour or team the R F L would rather see win an accolade.

Reasonable from an objective perspective to see why RM didn't win. If you stopped the season before the qualifiers maybe yes but if we are honest all the cracks have shown up in the qualifiers Ie lack of emphasis on attack , players too slow and inability to take chances. It's RMs team and he has had years to make adjustments but you have to say recruitment in the backs has been very poor. The only young lad with pace McGrath didn't get a game and you have to ask with our total scoring in the qualifiers being so bad why not give the lad a chance , the coach has to take it on board. Because you are judged on results simple as.
