Thing with MC is even without money he can attract a player ie. Vaughan from Salford and Mark roberts, top quality players with the current financial situation at the club have not been attracted by the wage factor so must have been the MC factor. I guess it depends on what they base the award on to who gets it? Usually these awards go to the team that won the league but its a good shout for the south wales and rochdale coaches, done wonders this season. MC missed out last season when he worked wonders with a losing team.

I agree stanky for award! I don't believe mc has the right attitude, he doesn't talk he shouts at his players, and anyone would look good if they have paid back handers to their players, it's nothing to do with being loyal (which he mentioned in the rugby leaguer) it was that it was to close to the end of the season, for the players to leave the club, !! but in the times I have watched, mc doesn't carry the right attitude, also I think the team has a brillant attitude with the recent salary cap news ..... I feel hobson shouldn't be a capital he loses his head to easily and is a liability, corrected if I'm wrong but I got told he got sin binned twice in the worky game?

How do you know MC shouts at the players? I've never seen him shout- he barely says anything when he's pitchside from what I've seen. He also gives very short half time team talks- he was out within about 5 mins on Sunday. If he did shout and be generally aggresive, then do you think that would help to build a squad spirit, or would it more likely upset people who would then leave.

People (other teams fans) seem to forget the amazing job MC did with the Panthers pre-Bobby Hope & the illegal payment problems of this season. He took a team that couldn't win a game, recruited a new squad and then built on that to take the Panthers to mid-table- that is the equivalent of Gateshead moving to mid-table next season.

I also disagree with the notion that players could not go elsewhere. Haggerty & Fairhurst left after the points deduction for different reasons, but no-one else has to my knowledge. Others, Ainscough & Mayberry for example, could get a contract with a Championship team easily but haven't done so either, so I would guess that is due to actually wanting to play for the club.

1) how do you know MC shouts at his players (and whther he does or doesn't, what does that matter? Each coach has his own methods; MC's obviously work).
2) you have suggested by your post that MC himself has paid backhanders to players. I suggest unless you can prove that, you withdraw that allegation and pay more attention to what and how you post in future.
3) Hobson was captain last time I looked, not a capital (that's a letter or a city just in case you weren't aware). Oh dear.

You're living up to your user name fella c020.gif

In the world of mules there are no rules. Search Google, Twitter or iTunes for Super League Pod, a UK based rugby league podcast, by fans for fans.:

You clearly have an axe to grind with MC here. Whatever your opinions on his coaching style (which are personal to you but appear unsubstantiated), awards like this aren't for style, they are for performance and results, with the added consideration of those around you and relative to expectations I would assume. When MC got the award for the 08 season it was thoroughly deserved, and had dewsbury not been 100% last year (perfection deserves rewarding) then he would undoubtedly been favourite for it last year.

Just to further clear some things up for you though...the loyalty was shown by them sticking at the club despite not receiving wages on time and having to agree pay cuts in some cases. This was mid season when it was going on, plenty of time to find other clubs.

Hobson was binned twice yes. Once for appealing for a knock on which is ridiculous and the other for taking out a chaser which looked bad and probably was a yellow but wasnt dangerous or aggressive and you see it every game go unpunished. Anyone else on the pitch wouldve stayed on I bet. As for being captain, I'm sure some panthers followers have reservations too, detailed in the worky game thread I think.
