| Justin Holbrook is a very good coach. He served his apprenticeship as assistant coach to Trent Robinson, former coach of Catalans Dragons, who, with his third Grand Final victory last night coaching the Sydney Roosters, has now entered the realm of the Super Coach.
Jackson Hastings is the son of Eastern Suburbs/Sydney Roosters icon Kevin Hastings. However interviews he gave a few years ago showed that Jackson is closer to his mother than to his father. Jackson was being groomed by the Sydney Roosters, but was disappointing to the coach, and thus was released to Manly Sea Eagles. However Jackson's personal conflicts with other players at Manly led to his release to Salford. Luckily for Jackson he was able to turn his life around at Salford, leading them to a Grand Final, and himself to a Man of Steel award. Next year he will be a key player for Wigan Warriors, and his current club Salford is likely to tumble down the Super League ladder without him.

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.

| Quote: LeedsLurch "Coach of the year isn't dependant on winning the GF, if it was then you would just have to give it to the GF winner every year. There is an argument for holding the vote a bit later, if London had managed to avoid relegation then it would be without a doubt DW but he didn't and he's not'"
I'm not sure about that, the basement battle was meant to be between Salford and London, London ended where they were supposed to Salford did not. Holbrook got the award but as he said maybe if the vote was later he may not have received it.

| It doesn't really make sense to do the voting in August, and doesn't need to be done earlier for any practical reasons. They could literally give each of the 12 coaches a call on the morning of the awards and ask who they are voting for.

There's a lot more involved that simply handing a trophy over. There's the engraving of the trophy and the putting together of the winner's video. However, I do agree that August is a ridiculous time to do the voting and the middle to end of September was more logical.

That chanting was funny at first, however as the night wore on it because more and more embarrassing, especially the booing and jeering of Justin Holbrook when he won the coach award. You could hear fans telling the culprits to shut up from where we were.

I thought it was pretty poor to be honest, detracted from what otherwise seemed a classy event put on by SL.
