Just looking at the list of votes, and the following people shouldn't be allowed a vote ever again.
Player 1st Choice
Gadwin Springer Tony Gigot (Catalans Dragons)
Gregory Mounis Theo Fages (St Helens)
Dave Taylor Beau Falloon (Leeds Rhinos)
Josh Bowden Greg Burke (Wigan Warriors)
Mahe Fonua Junior Moors (Castleford Tigers)
Ross Osborne Dane Tilse (Hull KR)
John Boudebza Jacob Mis)ller (Wakefield Wildcat
Mitch Achurch Chris Clarkson (Hull KR)
Joel Moon Steve Michaels (Hull FC)
Brad Singleton Kyle Amor (St Helens)
Dominic Crosby Jack Hughes (Warrington Wolves)

Throw in gene Ormsby too. Obviously all voting for mates apart from Osborne who was definitely taking the pee out of tilse

Well no, cos sandow is a fair shout, he's got about a dozen other first choice votes, he won first two player of the months adn was sensational for the most part of the season, matty russell as his section choice, well he can right off with that.

I really struggle with people who criticise an award that was voted for by peers. Hill has been exceptional all season there is absolutely no doubting that. But to whinge and bitch that he should or shouldn't have been there instead of X is a little pathetic. I for one only really watch my own team intently. I can comment on my teams players and make good case for their inclusion. Over the years I have felt aggrieved about certain things, but when you have a transparent voting system like the MoS how can you start to get your blood pressure raised.

It's quite telling that Houghton has received other awards. It's also quite telling that Ellis has as well. They can't all support Hull FC. I am also certain Hull FC didn't pay for the awards.

I believe the club of the year was based on many factors not just results on the field. The improvement in that club over the past 12 months has been extraordinary.

It's time we as a RL family really started to stop the pathetic "banter" and embrace how good the game is and the personalities within it.

Well done to all the winners and to those who missed out you have your benchmark to achieve next season.

Sandow the biggest myth this season.

Its within our British nature to be nice. You only have to look at the annual sports awards; Frank Bruno, Phil Taylor etc

These are just sympathy votes for a team that has improved because no one else has dominated. The Hull coach was minutes from the door after Widnes for underachievement with a team which has spent 'Big'. They won the CC, a cup that there relegated neighbours reached the final off some 12 months earlier. Since then they have reached there level which is not club of the year nor coach of the year standard. Player of the year I have no issues with.

On the plus side, the jealousy and bitterness on this thread does make a pleasant change from the usual Wigan and Leeds mud slinging.
Not knowing exactly when the votes were cast, perhaps some thought that Hull might still make the GF ??

Even so, they are THE most improved side in the comp.

The bitterness towards them is both funny and embarrassing in equal measure.

There was an enormous difference stat wise in contribution to effort, performance and effectiveness, almost a 2/Gareth Ellis/577 ...... Missed Tackles/37 ...... Tackle Busts/26 ...... Carries/255 ...... Metres/1819...

Sorry lads, you'l have to give all these awards back. We seem to have upset some delicate people.

Ahh, the old "Opta Reasoning".

Their*

And that's the award they should have got.

By definitions, doesn't this make yours (and many other teams) distinctly below mediocre?

Oh,

Grow up.

If it isn't Leeds, Wigan or Warrington, it must be mediocre.
