| I keep seeing comments about player xxx having enough of Powell, not being able to work with him etc etc. The thing is, this is contradicted by Powell’s record at Cas, Featherstone and Leeds. Not just his record for getting a bunch of average players to gel into a top side, but also his record in turning average individuals into Man of Steel winners / candidates.
I’m taking anyone’s side in this debate, but if Powell is really the problem coach we are being led to believe he is, how did he manage to make players like Luke Gale, Rangi Chase, Paul McShane and of course Daryl Clark into award winners? Have Warrington had a half back as good as McShane since Briers retired? Bear in mind McShane was a hooker too. When was the last time a Warrington team gelled to its full potential, based on the playing roster. 2011/2012?
If Holmes really had enough of Powell, that says more about him than the coach. Maybe he doesn’t like having to meet a high standard consistently, or prove himself as a MOS contender? No wonder he came to Warrington, we literally breed complacency and apathy here.
I’m should point out this is not a “Pro-Powell” rant (I’m waiting to be convinced he’s the solution), but it’s definitely an anti-player-power post. They’re well paid professionals and should do the job the coach asks of them.

| When did Leigh become the Leopards? And where have I been?
Holmes isn't on loan either. It's a one-year contract. Also surprised that we've lost Gannon. Maybe we just have too many forwards now.

I wonder if we paid out a proportion of his remaining 2 year contract with us?

I would imagine so. But I'm sure that won't count on the cap as it's a pay off.

I don't know why I'm poking fun at that. We haven't even seen ours yet. Could be much worse.
