Amazing achievement for him! So chuffed. And well deserved.

Turner-Hall and Robshaw scooped the player awards.

[Rizzo]

And very well deserved, congratulations to him!

[TTRITH]

Well Done Mr Cockerill!

Still keeping his feet firmly on the ground stating the season is nowhere near over!

The club should leave the structure as it is! Even if we don't win anything this season we've come on in leaps and bounds since Heyneke Meyer left,and the Vest returned!

MASSIVE congratulations. Well deserved.

[Daveyboy]

Absolutely delighted for you, Mr Cockerill. Well done.

Ditto. Well done Richard Cockerill.

[WiggoTiger]

About time he was recognised as an excellent coach and motivator.

WELL DONE COCKERS !!!!

WE KEPT THE FAITH IN YOU!!

[Adamspoon]

W'd better win something now then!

[POSTIGER]

Congratulations to Cockers - he's done a great job in difficult circumstances. Let's hope we can now win something to cap it all off!

I must say that I thought Deano might have won it - he's done a brilliant job at Quins since he's been there.

Many Congratulations Cockers.

Well deserved as what you have achieved in such a short time is AMAZING.

Having been a doubter, I have to say that Cockers has taken on the job in difficult circumstances and, together with the rest of the coaching team and senior players, he has done a great job this season. Well done, and congratulations on the award

[TuilagiTiger]

A huge congratulations to Cockers! He truly embodies the Tigers ethos and has pulled the squad together brilliantly since the turn of the year! Long may the success continue with a couple of trophies by the end of the month.....!

[penfold]

Grats to Cockers.

Tongue semi-planted in cheek here, but come the end of the month, if a coach that's been in the job for most of but not all of a season loses 2 finals, does he get the boot despite this award, or is playing a more expansive brand of rugby and being an old boy good enough for him to keep his job? You know, going on last season's experience....

Hmm, cynical, I realise. But still!

With any luck, common sense will prevail regardless of our final 3 (I hope) games this time around.

so well deserved - he's turned our season round.
brilliant.
