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.

The coach award is difficult because there are two ways of looking at it - do you give it to the coach of the side that has been the best all year (in which case, Holbrook), or the coach of the side that has most risen above expectations (in which case, Watson). You can make a case either way, I suppose.

Agreed - and wouldn't argue with either.

Hastings - no other choice really.

Watson is a fine coach and would have deserved it too but you can't grumble at Holbrook winning it. He's done an excellent job in the league this season.

We've taken the man of steel decision away from the players cos its THAT difficult.

Catalan players found it easy.
