Quote="Alan"I've always liked and respected John Kear. The man works miracles and Batley have improved beyond recognition - mainly as a result of some very astute signings (e.g. Brambani and Walker) That said, for me there is only one Championship Coach of the Year - our own Neil Jukes. Trophies are unimportant - what matters is that we know, and let Neil know, that he has been the very best this season.

Neil Jukes - MY coach of the Year.

A measured and totally accurate response Alan.
At risk of becoming members of each others Fan Clubs, I totally agree with all your points.
In my view Neil Jukes is second to no-one this year - Super League coaches included.
The national press seem to agree with it. A lot of the papers mentioned Batley's qualification for the 8s and mentioned their lack of financial clout. In the nationals that I've seen, Leigh's promotion has elicited barely a mention. There is, however, only one coach whose hand I would like to shake and that coach was celebrating at LSV last Saturday!
