Fair enough if you’ve heard that, think he’s a very good coach but surprised as the Wire have not been champions in 65 years and counting and Powell has never won anything.
Perhaps they will get there together. With a well funded set up and only a handful of real competitors it’s got to happen sometime.
Think they were unlucky not to win one under Tony Smith.

In all fairness they should have won at least 2 GF's by now in 2012 and 2013

| Quote ArthurClues="ArthurClues"I think he is a fine coach and clearly improves players. My problem with him is that he is such a sourpuss. When Cas lose it's always somebody else's fault, normally the referee. Find his serial whining tedious.'"
Or the slippery ball in the 2017 GF.....
I’m not saying he’s a bad coach, far from it, but I’ve got a lot of pals that are Cas fans, and they make out like he’s some super coach that’s invented a new brand of RL. Let’s be honest here, Leeds, Saints, Bradford and Wigan were playing like that in the early 2000’s. One said that 2017 Cas side would have slapped Leeds 2004/5 side.....not in a million years. Deluded mob them from darnt Lane.

| Aye, best man at my wedding is a Cas fan. Couldn't wish to meet a more pleasant, generous man, but when it comes to Rugby League, and Leeds in particular, he's right there with the rest of the pitchfork wielding, torch waving mob. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Never more true than at Warrington hence why I put a
In 2012 they were probably at their peak as a side but lost to the Rhinos in the GF who finished 5th in the league and crept into the final play off place.
In 2013 the Wolves were beating Wigan 16-2 before Wigan scored 28 unanswered points to win 30-16 in the GF

Didn’t they win the League at a canter in 2011, and thought they were nailed on to reach the Grand Final? Leeds again had other ideas.

| Warrington tho, if you was a coach, is a job you would walk over to get. Money aplenty. You would believe you could get it right and have a long period of success
They are Leeds of the late 80s early 90s. Promise much, spend big, achieve little, get ridiculed everywhere you go. God Wire fans must hate the "its always your year" song like we hated "what a waste of money".
The fact is though somebody will get it right at Warrington if the owner keeps coughing up at some point. They are close most years, they have good players but it just hasnt happened yet in Super League. They have had success in the cup of course.
Not sure if Powell is heading there or not but i wouldnt blame him for doing so.

They don’t like it when you call them Leeds of the 80’s/90’s

Agreed though by hot seat I didn't mean there's been a rapid turnover. I was more alluding to pressure and expectation.
Wire have done it all in the last decade - barring the holy grail of a grand final win. Powell's still chasing a half decent performance in a final. Is that a winning combo? We'll see. If it wasn't inevitable that a Powell led successful Warrington side would be at cost to ourselves, it's actually something I'd like to see. I still have immense respect for Daryl from his Leeds days, regardless of my tongue in cheek sig

| It'll be interesting to see how he does. He's essentially swapped one squad in need of a transitional period for another. The major difference being one has the funds to be able to manage it.
