Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "In hindsight, Powell was the right man at the wrong time - If he had took over instead of Price in 2018, coming off that fantastic Cas campaign, then it's possible he'd have fared a lot better. As it was, it's fair to say he had already run his coaching race by the time we eventually got him - he'd gone stale at Cas and was unable to revitalise both himself and us.
I do think that Wakefield will be perfect for him. Familiar area, players who have everything to prove to a guy who has achieved more than most of them ever have and now has everything to prove - Smells similar to when he went into Cas... I think they have chose well.'"
I do wonder how he would have fared here if he had a younger, raw side with players who had achieved less on less money. I think that's where his strength lies. I have no idea what sort of coaching character we need to fix our side and this culture, and that's why I'm prepared to give Burgess a chance. Seems we've tried all the traditional avenues.
