Has been awarded runner up for coach of the year. On any other year I dare say he would have won it. An excellent season from trin and Chessie and kear deserve much of the plaudits for it! Thank you!

Mr Powell certainly deserves his award and recognition tonight. But I certainly hope the Wakefield coaches do not fly under the radar!

I've only just looked at who voted for who and most people took it seriously this year.

As for us, Murphy voted for Grix and Wood (don't know if that was the Hudds connection or the Wakey connection ). Ashurst got a No.1 pick off Keinhorst , Fifita got 3 picks, 2 by Hull players & also by Micky Higham & Joel Moon voted for Miller. Takes it to a grand total of 5, but 6 players overall.

One thing you notice, like most years is the Nz'ers tend to vote for each other a fair bit and there's always a few joke votes. Like Jason Baitieri picking Joe Philbin, Antoni Maria, & Todd Carney.

Bit harsh...

Oh you mean the player (I hope).

Before my time I'm afraid but yes that would be the definition of exceptional

Oh well - it sounded accurate at the time.
