Seems like Powell has found his level.

I am pleased for him.

Achieved as much as Tony Smith at that level too. Just not had the blot on the CV with a relegation like Smith.

Had Powell been in charge of Huddersfield at that time he'd have a relegation on his CV also.

HTH

you could argue that at the time winning promotion with huddersfield was easier than heading the table this season, but i guess thats subjective

Maybe he has maybe ha hasn't but I could care less. In the big boy league only a complete idiot would try and compare the abilities of Powell and Smith.

Don't get all defensive. I am pleased Powell is doing well but he's found his level so let's no re-invent the wheel. He had some benefits as Leeds coach but they were massively outweighed by his deficiencies.

And its good to see you've found your coaching level - on an internet message board. Keep up the good work.

with regards to Kyle, he was still playing for Whitehaven, and was only in Leeds monday till thursday, the rest of the time he was training with whitehaven. i have no doubt at all that when he starts full time at leeds (and isnt used as a last resort) then he will be a great player. when bluey has put him in the team this year he has been under pressure to perform as alot of big names were out. i think he should be playing when the team is at full strenght (or there abouts) to give the lad some confidence. I have full faith in Kyle and i know he will make a good player.

When did Smith get relegated from the championship?

I don't have the qualifications to coach at a remedial level so you won't be getting the benefits of my advice.
