Very few, because a good coach will adapt their coaching style to get the best from their players who they have been left with. Bring in a culture change progressively, ship out those not wanted and bring in the right new players as and when. You don't off the senior playing squad to such an extent you drag a club down from consistent top four to relegation candidates.

Powell must go. Michael Maguire is out of a job, and Justin Holbrook could be about to be shown the door at Gold Coast. Both are proven Super League winning coaches.

And I don’t get your continued defence of Powell. I think you’re either related to DP or Mrs O Holmes.

Who says DP needed to clear out???? him only! Smith came I and worked with what he had…as does every coach to start with rather than going full bull in a china shop! The clear out was Powells idea….on the ruddy hoof! No coach worth his salt would have seen so much change in one season….and he’s making an excuse out of his own making.

we asked for changes to make us compete. the team we had would of seen us through many of the losses this season and we most likely would be in the 6 now.
this has been a massacre of grand proportions. and instead of steadying things. moving people on at the end of the season to keep continuity. he has butchered the team to make it his.

question. until his release. who was our top try scorer? bad apple or not. you DONT get rid of your top try scorer. you find a way to make it work.

DON'T TRY AND ATTEMPT TO USE MY ANSWER TO A DIFFERENT QUESTION TO UNDERMINE MY RESPONSE. TO CLARIFY THINGS:

your post:


My response:



I was comparing Powell to Steve Anderson and Plange.

Why should we? There has been no direct address that a clear out was needed, other than from a man scrapping for his job. If there was an attitude change required, then maybe he should have gone about that in a better manner rather than taking the club to the brink.

His job, the bread and butter, is to prepare a team. The team are unprepared. 14 of 17 two weeks in a row at Powell’s men, and this is in July. We’re not at the ‘gelling’ phase, we’re at the ‘if you don’t start winning soon, you’ll be out of a job’ phase.

Tony smith didnt clear out the squad. the squad was 95% paul cullen. 5% jimmy lowes.

F@@king hell! How many times. I am not defending Powell in the last two games, I am defending the right of a coach to have enough time.

The only time I've mentioned Powell in recent posts is in comparison to other coaches mentioned.

Yes, let's keep things the same cos we wos doing fab.

Get with it mate - this was referring to Tony Smith's season at Hull KR - you do realise he's been there most of this. season

Yep, we were doing fab. The players have been great over 6/7 years and we just needed a great coach.

He’s had enough time! I give up. I admire you sticking with Powell, I hope you’re right but I’m 99.7% certain this won’t end well. At a guess I’d think 70% of wire fans now realise he’s not the man for the job. I believe he’s already created a culture that will NEVER produce results. That may not be entirely his fault but it’s done.
