The acceptance of mediocrity is beyond a joke.

He should be out before the sports news on tomorrow morning's BBC Breakfast sports news.

Knowing our board, he'll be as gormless as ever, at 1945 on Thursday night, when that Aussie woman goes through her banal "questioning"

Sorry, haven't read all the thread.

To me tonight and the saints game look like a team who were trying harder because they didn't want to get humiliated, the rest of the games they give it a bit of a go then give up. Why or whose fault it is I have no idea, Also its awful seeing Cooper and Briers celebrating in those colours.

The worrying thing for me is that 14 out of tonight’s 17 are here next year. If Wardle stays it’s 15. It’s Powell’s side so of course he has to shoulder the responsibility.

Anyone questioning whether the coaching team are to blame have to look at the statistic that we have conceded 30+ points in 12 out of 22 games this season. Last year we didn’t conceded more than 30 points in any game .

Be careful what you wish for

Put everyone (including Powell) out of his misery. Nothing personal but he isn’t the right man and I hate to think what McGuire and Vaughan will think having been coached by the best.

You're asking me do I take drugs? From someone who only posts crap/unfunny attempted jokes. The only drugs around here are the laughing gas pellets you have to take after posting one of your crap/unfunny jokes in order for someone to laugh: ie you.

I take it you didnt watch the game and see the speed the ball was moved out the backs to move around their forwards. Did you notice how much more dangerous we were with Michaele and Bullock on? They gave us much more space, especially Williams who looked extremely dangerous. We should have gone in ahead at HT, we were at least as good as Wigan.

Second half, they ruthlessly targeted our weaknesses. You might want to consider too hiw dangerous that Wigan back line is.

Powell now looks like a man that realises he doesnt know how to fix us. I feel sorry for him. The board need to relieve him of his duties. There is not one shred of evidence showing we are getting any better. The effort is there we are just poor (just like Tolouse)

I think it's hard for the board to sack Powell now, he has taken us to far down the rabbit hole with the amount of changes and they've backed him to the hilt, in for a penny. I've been keen to back him too as we have under performed for years given the players We've had. Things needed to change but listening to his post match comments every week is putting me off him.

We're beating Toulouse next week. And we'll have another win at least by the end of the season.

Next year, with Powell in charge, we will be top 5. Mark my post if you like.

Anyone disagree.

Last week's match thread got to 196 posts before the 'debate' got locked.

I'm wondering how far this week's will go?....

Without getting personal and insulting what are the excuses for the other ten or so 30+ point defeats? Did Hull Kr, huddersfield, wakefield have a lethal back line too?

Agree. But he can't wave a magic wand and everything work at once. Some good steps forward tonight with loads still to improve.
