We were distinctly average then. Hence why I said “6wks at the end”. Just because we were top then doesn’t mean we were good. We weren’t. We were all over the place during games, see sawing between playing well and poorly over 80mins. It was discussed in depth on here after most games with the general feeling of “we were alright and did just enough. Something to build on”.'"
Again, that's not relevant. It's a comparative award (i.e. comparing to other coaches) so it doesn't matter if we weren't as good as at the back end of the year. It only matters that we were better than everyone else at that time which first place suggests we were.
Waney won it after we'd played some terrible stuff early in the year. I'm struggling to see a difference.
