Clean sweep for Hull; Club, Coach, MOS not bad for a club that just hung on to the CC, finished nowhere in the LLS and didn't make the Grand Final.

This confirms the mediocrity that SL now accepts as standard.

6 in dream team and your lot only won lls ,no of course you dont sound bitter . get a grip us and wigan can out do you this year however i will wish your team good luck based upon the class shown by your coach and fans in defeat at wembley

Re: End of season awards/MOS : Tue Oct 04, 2016 9:19 am  

Up until Wembley we were the best team in the league. Top of the league after 23 rounds, still top of league 3 games into the 8's, and Cup winners having beaten the 4 best teams it was possible to play to do it. We had played 13 games against the top 5 teams and won 12 of them. The one defeat being a one point loss to Wigan which would have been a draw had Liam Watts' brain not exploded with 30 seconds left. All this after finishing 8th last year. When our fans claimed we would be contenders this time it was met with snorts of derision.

I don't think people outside the club quite realise what that cup final win meant to the club. It was probably the single biggest win in the clubs history, and just couldn't rally from it mentally. We gave it a good go against Wigan, but were pipped by another excellent team. I can see an argument for Warrington, but that's a very bitter OP.

I have no problems with the awards and think for once they are well deserved. Houghton is one of the most underrated players in the league and has been for years. I'd love him in my team.

For months I've said Radford should get coach of the season. Okay they've had the funds but so have Wire but I think their turnaround year on year has been more remarkable.

Obviously very pleased with the young player of the year which I feel is correct, trying to be as unbiased as possible. I know one/two Widnes fans have been vocally supporting Whitley who I also feel is creditable but I think TJ has a more notable impact this year even though he has suffered a bad injury. Both 2 big players for the future.

Also as mentioned in other threads Chris Hill should have been on the short list in place of Ellis perhaps who has only played 21 games against Hill who has played all 30 games.

140 something available votes from the humberside region, only 3 votes for chris hill,

Well no, cos sandow is a fair shout, he's got about a dozen other first choice votes, he won first two player of the months adn was sensational for the most part of the season, matty russell as his section choice, well he can mickey right off with that.

Re: End of season awards/MOS : Tue Oct 04, 2016 11:20 am  

I really struggle with people who criticise an award that was voted for by peers. Hill has been exceptional all season there is absolutely no doubting that. But to whinge and bitch that he should or shouldn't have been there instead of X is a little pathetic. I for one only really watch my own team intently. I can comment on my teams players and make good case for their inclusion. Over the years I have felt aggrieved about certain things, but when you have a transparent voting system like the MoS how can you start to get your blood pressure raised.

It's quite telling that Houghton has received other awards. It's also quite telling that Ellis has as well. They can't all support Hull FC. I am also certain Hull FC didn't pay for the awards.

I believe the club of the year was based on many factors not just results on the field. The improvement in that club over the past 12 months has been extraordinary.

It's time we as a RL family really started to stop the pathetic "banter" and embrace how good the game is and the personalities within it.

Well done to all the winners and to those who missed out you have your benchmark to achieve next season.
