Imo it's Powell 1st Radford 2nd Chester 3rd.
Fwiw i also think these awards should take place after the GF.

If Radford wins the GF with Ull. Are some of you saying Powell deserves it more?

Hahaha.

To be fair mate FC are more expected to be challenging more than Cas are Powell has stripped that Team/Squad down & rebuilt it into a table topping side easily playing the best RL this year.
Thus far FC have repeated what they did last year & like i said its hardly unexpected.

Powell is doing a fantastic job. No doubt about it. But if Radford wins the double. He's coach of the year.

At the start of the year most bookies had Cas around 4th favourites ahead of Hull and us (Wire, Wigan and Saints ahead of them) so they weren't exactly unfancied to do well.

Powell and Cas were pushing for LLS and cup runners up in 2014 whilst Hull were finishing 11th before Radford took over the next season.

Slightly off topic but has anyone ever wondered about how the hell Hull FC stay under the salary cap ? Absolutely littered with NRL quality players, some who have played lots of NRL And some who are still good enough for NRL. A fine efforr keeping that bunch of stars under the cap.

Powell by plenty. If Cas win 1 more game we will have won SL by a record margain not to mention the PD. Hull have been really inconsistent this season and their squad on paper is the best in the league imo .

Do you win any extra trophy for that?

Interesting all the talk about Cas' attack being so amazing. 28 games in and they're scored just 11 more points than we did at this stage in 2015.

Also if we beat Hudds next week we'll end up on 40 points, which will be just one point less than the 41 we won in 2015 and that last point was won with 4 seconds to spare.

I would definitely say that. Radford is poor, and that Hull side is poor. Win GF or not, and they won't, that doesn't change that opinion, it just highlights again how poor others have been.

Powell easily top over a season. Chester with what achieved against expectations second.

For sure, the double with the cup final where it is now so close to the play offs is special and really difficult to pull off.

Its not how i see it but you are entitled to your opinion.

How laughable would it be were Hull go to Cas and knock them out of both comps. On the way to winning a double Yet The coach who won nowt gets the award!
