No surprise Hastings got it am surprised Watson did not get coach though.

Deserves it too top player and comes across as a really decent bloke..

No complaints about Hastings. Top player and comes across really well. I thought Holbrook was a lazy choice although I don't know how and when this was voted for. For me Watson deserved it for the remarkable job he has done at Salfrod

Votes cast end of August so just be pleased Price didn't ludicrously win it. Why they don't wait until the end of season to hand out/vote for all awards is beyond me.

Price .... for goodness sake.
I think the weekly voting for MOS is good as it is more likely to reflect a players performances across the whole season and not just the 2-3 weeks prior to the votes being cast. The coaching award is a bit more difficult. Agree it should be as late as possible and with modern methods of communication there is no excuse.

Does Rugby League do anything modern,I thought they were all still wearing flat caps and breeding whippets and racing pidgeons.

They are in Yorkshire

Ex Sky Sports Eddie is on hunger strike outside Red Hall, and won't move until a certain hooker is promoted to his rightful place

Do you intimate that Eddie wants the statue of Cunningham in St Helens to be replaced by one of Roby, and Eric Ashton to be replaced by another one of Roby at Wembley?

Who said they end August? That makes no sense, they end being public but they don't stop......unless i'm wrong?

...and one to be erected in Thatto Heath
...and one to be erected outside Clock Face Labour Club
...and one to be erected in a retired commentator's garden

Coach of the year voting ended in August. No idea on MOS.

Shall we call it "The awards for 6 months, but not quite the entire season, night?

There's got to be some form of cut off. Otherwise it'd just be the 'Coach who's team won the Grand Final' award.

I think the best thing to do is to do the voting in the final round of regular season games before the playoffs start. I think Holbrook is a worth winner of it this year. We've been superb in Super League, so far anyway But if Salford win the final it will make a mockery of the award.

MoS votes definitely carried on to the end of the season, they just stopped being made public. Not sure about coach - personally I'd have given it to Watson or Ward.
