The problem is, the people who say go with Dean or Hayes, as they need to be given a chance, will be the same people who will want Powell gone after the 6 game trial period he's supposedly been set.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have a fair chance, but having a novice half back, at the time his job is supposedly on the line, just seems like career suicide for Powell.

Wow, a post intended to open discussions and talk about rugby League in general has gone off the rails again

This thread should've been locked after the 1st post. Tony Gigot??? Good God!!

Tony Gigot! no no no! I'd rather bail Chris Sandow out of jail.

We are settled that Gigot isn’t the answer, but there are merits to his game that should be admired. Even way back when he was a Catalan player he took risks and made things happen, I think Dean could be a similar style player if allowed to play his natural game.

He’s unorthodox, which some coaches won’t like, but I think fans would. Lomax is similar in the way he runs at the line first and just see what happens.

It would be great to see him put in, but realistically the risk is too high, we need a fast start and a solid defender, so likely see a new 7 come in.
