Quote: shaver "For some reason Powell was regarded as a laughing stock despite taking a young Leeds team from nowhere to a 2nd place finish in the league table, a final eliminator and a Challenge Cup final in his last season, maybe he wasn't the man to get them over the line in terms of silverware, but he did a good job and the foundations put down in his time clearly reaped their rewards.
Yep, and that Leeds team in 2003 were a damn good team that but for some brian carney brilliance in the play off eliminator, could have reached the grand final. If agar, mcdermott, mcrae, matterson, and earlier mcnamara can be head coaches in super league then i see no reason why powell cant.'"
Could never work out why he wasn't well thought of. Brought a young team through, laid the platform for Tony Smith and Brian McClennan.
Probably the best English coach available to Harlequins if he wants the job.
