Vote for Solly as Ricoh Director of Rugby of the Season

Warriors fans can reward Alan Solomons for helping secure the club’s Gallagher Premiership place by voting for him as the Ricoh Director of Rugby of the Season.

The new award recognises the achievements of the men who pull the strings off the pitch and for the first time the public are being given the chance to help decide the winner.
