| Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "On a forum where over the last couple of years, nearly every player has had their abilities questioned &, in most cases, judged to not be good enough to warrant a place in the side, is this really a serious question?
Powell has to be given time. Its that simple. Barring something extremely unusual happening, we aren't going to finish bottom, and the danger of that is the only reason I'd even query Powell's role at the club.
Truth is, and I believe most sensible people realise this, our squad is a disjointed mess and has been for long before Powell turned up - That has to be sorted, that is the number one priority. Just sacking a coach and giving the players a free pass is just a pathway to more disappointment in the long term.
I've said it several times before, but defeats are going to be a common occurrence this season - Knee jerk reactions like sacking the coach are a pointless response. Fans are going to have realise that this is where we are at as a club right now. Sacking the bloke who was fetched in to solve the long term problem after just 3 months, while the problem is still endemic is absolute madness.'"
That’s all fine but you look a much poorer coached team with DP in than under Price……

| INOUT Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "I've read some nonsense on here before, but this is up there with the best of it
I did say he had a few good years, however, on the whole, routinely failed to get his team into the playoffs. Was it 3 in a row that he missed at the end of his time at Cas? He had some good times, but also had long periods of average. It’s mediocre.
People on here talk about Powell being a super coach, he’s missed the play offs more than he’s made them! Hardly a golden CV

In your assessment you are neglecting to mention £.
He had Castleford outperforming their cap limit and had a number of man of steel players whilst improving young players.
Anyway what are the options? We had 3 barren years with Price, another 1 wont hurt and give Powell the chance.

£ is one of the things that the board should have factored in though, as I’ve said. There’s little evidence that he can work with stars (debate on who the stars are aside), as Chase and Hardaker went off the rails and the others moved on quickly.
Paul Anderson has the same amount of trophies, and had success with a limited squad, but if he got the job we’d be scratching our heads in amazement.
My point is that the recruiting panel don’t seem to have a criteria for the post. The board have curated a squad of stars (at time of purchase) but haven’t got a leader who can get the best out of them. This isn’t a Powell bashing, this is that the direction from the executive isn’t clear.
To me, right now, it looks like the Cullen era when we had Monaghan, King, Anderson, Hicks etc and all the tools to compete but unfortunately the leader couldn’t squeeze the best out of them. And I love Paul Cullen, but the difference between Tony Smith and Paul Cullen is night and day.
If the board are maximising the cap, using the marquees and putting all of the available tools on the table for success, the coach must be a part of that plan, not just someone to hand out shirts. They need to knit the personalities, the EGO’s and the skills together to make a team.
I’m not saying Price is/was better (looks that way at the moment, his stock is rising with every poor week), but what I am saying is that we announced Price was leaving before a ball had been kicked, why rush and jump in to a decision unless it is the outstanding candidate.

I think many will share the comments on our recruitment strategy (if there is one). I would like to see us have a Director of Rugby who can have a longer term view on recruitment, retention, strategy, facilities, standards, sporting direction. Free up Karl to concentrate on marketing and non sporting operations.
Price should be remembered for the CC win balanced with the 3 limp out playoffs. He had 4 seasons. 3 seasons to apply a "quick fix" which he never did. Powell has come into a circus show of a club and playing squad and has had 10 games or so.
If we are still in this predicament in 12 months time and not showing progress then I will be calling for him to go. Until then I back him 100%.

It's more like the Cullen era when we had Reardon, Rauhihi, Sullivan, Vinnie Anderson, Swann. Players who were past their best or not as good as we thought.
