There is several weeks before we announce all the awards for the81stminute.com’s 12th annual Beetson Raudonikis Medal which includes Coach of the Year.

In recent days we’ve heard sections of the media call for different coaches to be named NRL Dally M Coach of the Year.

We don’t like it.

So we’re going to take charge and put it straight and announce one of our 2023 winners a little early.

So, congratulations to our 2023 Beetson Raudonikis Medal Coach of the Year – Andrew Webster from the New Zealand Warriors.
