The Coach of the Year will be determined by a poll of the competition’s 12 head coaches, with Peet hoping for his second victory on the spin.

Adrian Lam, who won the award in 2020 when he steered Wigan Warriors to the Grand Final, is in contention again, as well as Steve McNamara (Catalans Dragons) and Paul Rowley (Salford Red Devils).

O’Neill is joined by two players from Warrington Wolves – second-row Matty Nicholson, and outside back Josh Thewlis.

Halifax-born Nicholson joined the Wolves from Wigan in somewhat controversial circumstances last year.

Both winners will be crowned at at Emirates Old Trafford on Tuesday, October 10.
