| Quote ThePrinter="ThePrinter"Well these were the comments I were alluding to from Hetherington made last December
"I believe the 2018 Betfred Super League season will be the most open, competitive and entertaining competition to date and I credit our local rivals for bringing about a significant potential shift in the game," said Hetherington.
"The game is played pretty much the same throughout the world, but what Castleford did last year deviated from convention by introducing an efficient attacking style of play which proved to be highly successful.
"In winning more games than any other team and scoring a record number of tries, they brought a refreshing style of play to the competition and I do believe it will be emulated by all of the Super League clubs next season and could change the face of the competition.
"We have seen many advances in teams' defensive techniques and tactics over the past decade and many coaches have focused on perfecting this aspect of their teams' performance which make it difficult to score against, but I now detect a change in the mindset of coaches who believe that a team will have to score four or maybe five or six tries to win a game next season.”
Thought it was quite something for GH to come out with that about an opposition team and coach and shows he’s clearly a fan of what Powell is doing and thinks it’s the way forward.
Another one from him in July after the Regular rounds had finished
“We’ve seen the most competitive Super League season to date and witnessed just how difficult it is for teams to win consecutive games or put a string of wins together in 23 rounds.
“Yet Castleford have just defied that and gone way out in front.
“They’ve also done so with a superb, very entertaining brand of rugby and that really should be acknowledged.
“It’s an outstanding achievement by Castleford and, of course, one would assume they’d now go on and collect the League Leaders’ Shield.
“They should get all the credit, particularly Daryl Powell and his coaching staff.
“It is one of the best achievements of the Super League era as not only are Castleford likely to win it by such a big margin, but they’ve done it in such style as well. It’s a very unique and impressive feat.”
Two public statements in a few months on how well Cas and Powell had done praising their style of play, very telling I think and with talk like that I can clearly see him approaching Powell.'"
But what about all the stuff saying Cas were his boyhood team etc etc.  But then what do I know, he said the same about Fev when he was there. |

I'm sure GH will 'approach' Powell with a view to the longer term. But I wouldn't assume its a slam dunk because both Powell and his current employer do actually have a say. I'd have no problem if Powell wasn't interested or if Cas refused to release him from his contract even if Leeds did start sniffing around.

Powell dismissed the rumours earlier for what it's worth. Said people can rest easy and he's fully committed to what he and the other coaching staff are doing at Cas.

Powell would probably think more about it at the end of the season rather than now.
It's looking more likely some sort of interim appointment will need to be made for now.

Not the biggest club by any stretch. Yes, successful, but St Helens & Wigan are bigger. Think what you like, you are boring. |

Dream on old love. RL clubs don't come any bigger than Leeds. Third biggest city in the country. Magnificent stadium, fantastic backroom facilities, Saint Helens and Wigan are pokey little towns in South West Lancashire. The potential in Leeds is huge. Wigan and Saints only need a couple of bad seasons and they're scratching round for brass. Look at why Wigan had to sell Central Park. When push came to shove Wigan couldn't cut the financial mustard despite success on the field. |
