| Quote Barbed Wire="Barbed Wire"I think the frustration is that we were not a project club. We didn’t need a rebuild. We were in the frame but not able to take the next step. We needed someone to unite the group and build an attacking structure to complement a decent defence and ultimately challenge in the big games.
Nobody is suggesting Price was the right man, and your suggestion of that is a petty defence. The question isn’t about Price, it’s about whether the man appointed to take us to the next level is delivering on the objectives and/or is showing indicators that he is able to do so.
So, my question to you is two parts. Is what we have seen so far ‘on-track’ with expectation. And if not, why not.'"
This.

| Quote Lord Tony Smith="Lord Tony Smith"Some of them are that bad. Ben Currie has been garbage for a couple of seasons now, he looks disinterested. Joe Philbin, since tripling his money, has been awful too. Jack Hughes isn’t good enough, Ratchford isn’t good enough anymore. Mulhern, Bullock, J Clark, Holmes are all average.
Bellamy wouldn’t. These players aren’t interested or passionate enough. They’d rather be leaving training early to sell hats and clothes.'"
So it’s Cooper’s fault. Go it. Thanks for clearing that up.
The coach signed or resigned Bullock, Clark and Holmes. So that’s not a legacy problem inherited by the current coach. And the current coach saw enough in pre-season to make Hughes his club captain again. So are you questioning the coach’s judgement on this, I genuinely don’t understand your point.

| Quote Gazwire="Gazwire"Welcome mate. These players have been overpaid and uninspired for too long under 3 different coaches spanning 7/8 odd years. Don't let that put you off though, the rot is being cleared and exciting times are ahead when everything settles - it just needs riding out.'"
You're deluded. Our defence has gone to absolute shambles in the space of a few months after he arrived, when for years it was steely and resilient. We've been d*cked by Wakey 3 times so far this year. The players he's signed have been absolute garbage. The players he's shipped out so far have made no iota of difference when looking at who they've been replaced by overall. Thanks Christ we won our first 3 games when everyone we played hadn't got up to speed yet otherwise it'd already be hello championship.

Wasn't it supposedly one of Powell's strengths we were told is that he can develop average players into good ones. So what has gone wrong? He seems to have become Midas in reverse.

| I wouldn't have thought that any of us want, or wish, to bring back Price, his time has come and gone. I wouldn't have thought that any of us disagree that a change in culture or ethos at the club and a change in playing style was needed. Also, we needed leadership on the pitch. I'm not calling for DP's head, just wonder if he's gone about change in the wrong way. Part of DP's remit should have been to continue stability, which at the start of the season, I thought would be struggle due to our front row being light. Now it appears that were worse off (comparing where we are now, and the start of 2022) and at the business end without Cooper. For me, Amor and Mikaele don't make up for his loss. We've 8 games left and a four point advantage, and are thankful that Catalans sent a weakened team that gifted us three of our six tries. We desperately (still) need a leader or two on the field in these coming weeks.

| Quote Gazwire="Gazwire"He's been here just over half a season tasked with a total restructure - what were you expecting?
Price had 4 seasons and presided over dismal rugby with the fans leaving in droves and 3 failures at the first stage. Virtually every player became less effective under his coaching too; help me out, who improved apart from (ironically) Toby King?
Who would you get in then?
Or if you didn't want him in in the first place, who would have been your pick?'"
He's actually had 10 months there or there abouts now, not 6. And while players became less effective under Price, at least they could defend their frigging line when the attack was shot and stay in games on that alone. Powell has them defending with all the resistence of a spiders web. I don't get paid to make decisions on who will coach us so I don't well care. But i'm within my right to judge the shower that Powell has served up to us in 2022.

Agree with your points. The remaining question though is can DP swing the performances round not just for the end of seasons games but for the future too. Based on this years terrible season, the club really needs to review this critically.

| Weve discussed this at length and made our opinions known. It's going backwards and fowards with the same points being made over and over again.I reckon we draw a temporary line under this until the next match.
But in the meantime, here's your big question:
If you want him gone now, name the successor you'd like.
If not, say stay (we all know its not perfect so far)
So basically it's a stay. Or it's a go and a potential successor has to be named (or we'll have literally no-one coaching us).

How about no. Basically your excuses to keep him amount to "well there's nobody else" Yeah, you're right, realistically there is nobody half way through the season. But that does not and will not mean that people have to sit silently putting up with this absolute sheite being offered up every week. Play crap every week, get called crap every week. We literally cannot be playing much worse and might aswell not have him around. Let's just roll with nobody because Powell has had that much a negative effect I don't well see the point of putting up with him trotting out tripe every week. This lad thinks we're still able to do something this year and building something special. The only special thing here atm is his delusion.

| Quote KineticRR="KineticRR"We didn't need a restructure, we needed a coach who could keep getting us into playoffs, and finals, and to challenge the big teams regularly. We can't even challenge Wakefield.
We already had the players capable of doing that.

We have won 1 (ONE) major honour in the last 10 seasons. Thats a poor return on the investment in the playing squad.
Of course we needed change.
