These awards are a joke , Yorkshire biased

Some strange decisions there. Hope the club don't react negatively to this and just get on with it. I see Ryan reacted graciously on twitter last night.

I don't know why you think he would be coach of the year, on the money Leigh have spent I would say you have under achieved in the qualifiers, bad disciplinary record, chairman with a big mouth all reflects on the club and coach, it shouldn't but this is what people think, Rowleg and his conspiracy theories won't have helped either.

Shame for Ryan in his nomination, definately thought he would get that one and deserved as well if he had.

Are you serious ? I think Leigh's playing record and performances throughout the season would suggest Paul is a quality Coach, incidently , he didn't win last year either!
Garry Schofield was talking of him being an England Coach!
Paul is improving year on year who knows, maybe he will win the award one day however, he will have to join a Yorkshire team first!

Why there a thread on his board questioning whether he should be replaced then if he's coach of the year?

Well done Richard Marshal by the way.

curly ,larry an mo the 3 stoges replaced by Gaskell marshall an dewsbury

So, a team who didn't even get into the middle 8s are crowned championship club of the season. The mind boggles.

Not that it really bothers me anyway.

As gracious as ever,I see.


I'm just pleased Corbyn has no connection with Yorkshire;not that I checked.

Anyway,Dewsbury won CLUB of the year.This does not involve the first team on-field performances.

I have taken an example from outside the heartlands - just to please the Rowleys - where it shows SCHOLARSHIP AND PLAYER PATHWAYS is wot won it. [url=http://allgoldsrugby.com/golds-named-national-club-year/HERE[/url

If I watch on Saturday I hope your players keep their knees to themselves.

Yes, you've a very good coach. But given that he's coaching full time pros and has one of the best income/salary structures in the league then finishing in the top 2 isn't an achievement, it's an expectation.

What a surprise, the coaches who've spent all season dreaming up naff excuses as to why they've been hammered haven't voted for the team that hammered them to win any awards. Still, just have to look at the resounding success 2014 Championship Coach f the year went on to have.

Rowley should have won coach of the year, yes a top two finish was expected of him but only 1 loss and 1 draw in the Championship, a club record winning run, a fantastic exciting entertaining style of play, a Challenge Cup Quarter final knocking out 2 SL teams and being talked about as a possible England coach certainly wasn't.

It's all part of the same ploy to stop the Leigh juggernaut. ....oh hang on.....

Strange as in?

Ps could you please post your predictions a little earlier from now as theres probably some money in it for anyone who backs the opposite to your prediction.

Marshall coached a part-time team (not even spending to their salary cap) to beat every team in the league at least once... including three full time teams....in his first year in charge. How long and with how much money did it take Rowley to get to where you are now?

Rowley is a good coach making full use of his vast playing resources, but put him in charge of another squad and it would be a different matter.

Bless......

Slightly OT but on the subject of awards, did you guys get anything for finishing top? Was there any kind of league leaders shield etc?

I don't remember seeing or hearing anything about one, but that might just be because we didn't win it!

Not really. When he first started he had no staff, the club had no money and didn't have enough players to make a team. Rowley has shown he can coach any team he has to over achieve.

Yep got the Championship League Leader's Shield. Don't know if there was any prize money for it.

Ah shield, eh? Thought it was a hub cap!

I wouldn't grumble at many of the decisions and awards. I would question Player of the Season though. Not because Gaskell ain't a good maybe even very good player, but has he played enough to warrant It? I guess those voting must have remembered how he had destroyed them in a particular game this season and his was how they voted.

The awards results did not surprise me.

We all know Lancashire fans players and clubs would vote for the best player 'best club and best coach in the league whereas Yorkies only vote for their own.

And we get to keep it on the team bus for a whole season, well until we have to play Featherstone away & the bus ends up on bricks.

Do we all know that? It could be a bit of prejudice on your part.

There is one flaw in your post. If he did not play many matches how did enough coaches remember him playing and destroying them.
