Quote: Leikvolls_Profile "Quotes from DP after yesterdays game
Consistency and coping with pressure is a two way street really. The coach has cracked, time and again. I’ve gone on about the right side a lot, but now it’s Mikaele in and out, Currie dropped…
He’s under the microscope, but he’s cracked, time and again. He went to the “tried and tested” to try and save the season, Minikin, Matautia, Holmes and Ratchford. Old heads, good communicators… he tried it for one week then dropped Holmes again for Nicholson. He lacks the courage of his conviction.
That said, the silence from the club is criminal. I’ve said this before but, If the club was in such a terrible state to justify this seasons performance, the club should be at the defence of Powell and be open and honest that he inherited a basket case that needed a root and branch, and internally they are happy with the progress behind closed doors. That, as well as shedding some blood on the leadership team that oversaw the failure of a leading club in 2011-12-13 to being in such a state that 11th position as actually being justifiable.
