Three-man shortlist for Super League Coach of the Year

THE last three winners of the Super League Coach of the Year Award are in the running for repeat recognition in 2025.

Adrian Lam of Leigh Leopards, Matt Peet of Wigan Warriors and Willie Peters of Hull KR have received the most votes in a poll of the 12 Super League head coaches – with the winner to be announced at the Rugby League Awards Night in Manchester on Tuesday, October 7.

Peters is in contention to win the award for the second year running. Recognised for last season’s second-placed finish and Grand Final appearance, he has since led Hull KR to their first League Leaders’ Shield in the Super League era and have also won the Challenge Cup.

Peet, winner in his debut 2022 season, has taken Wigan to a fourth successive top-two finish.

Lam has been crowned Coach of the Year twice already, first in 2020 as Wigan boss and then in 2023 after leading Leigh to Challenge Cup glory, and this season has led the Leopards to new heights with a third-placed finish.
