Recruitment is the problem. No player goes out and deliberately plays badly. They'll all be sore and battered after tonight's game.

Who the biggest name then who’s no following new direction ?What will changing captain do ? Do you not think Powell has tried to stamp his authority down . Utter nonsense post

Whether it's the players, Karl Fitzpatrick, Powell or Wolfy's fault, it will be Powell who will lose his job should we be a candidate for relegation when we reach July.

He has to change the entire squads attitude and work ethic, especially in defence, as there's little he can do mid-season to change the personnel within it.
SM and the board cannot do much to bring in/move out players during the season, either, but they can change the coach. Whether that's fair, or not, the pressure is very much on DP at the moment.

He's had an off season to prepare these players. Either things have soured very quickly or there was resistance from the start and haven't already been stamped on, and neither of those options is a good look for anyone.

Well that's broken my irony meter.

Absolutely, and the speed with which morale and attitude have nosedived suggests the latter, that they were not and are not onboard with the coaching staff.

No pre season trip this year, everyone said it was a good thing no bonding sessions

Possibly

I don't know, but I'd like to think Powell would have some idea. Maybe a captain who is vocal (and good) would be able to get some reaction from his teammates.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to be more wise and one day I hope to wake up and be just like you.

Might sound stupid but maybe Mamo and Linehams little squad did more for morale around the place than one would have thought.

When are we getting his post match comments? I do wonder what the flavour will be this week

Just talking utter nonsense will do pal .
And how much bigger was hulls pack tonight over the small pack of Warrington ?
