Exactly. I accept that Eccles has probably done the best he could under difficult circumstances, but let's not forget how utterly abject Hull FC have been this season, and London still finished below them. Nominating Eccles just feels patronising.

Matty Peet is the only winner for this award The work has done at Wigan am surprised the mainstream media has not been more interested in him.

Eccles has had every card in the deck stacked against him and his club, so he has done a very commendable job in the circumstances. I expected them to lose every game, and he deserves credit for not doing that.

However, nominating the coach who finished bottom and not Burgess is just ridiculous.

Sam just has to win the GF and make them look even more daft

The players clearly adore Burgess. I wonder if this will add a little motivation on Friday
