We are you pretending the last two games are any indication that we're improving? We beat a Catalan team missing like 8 important players including basically their entire front row, and then we got took to the cleaners for 40 minutes at Cas who essentially put the cue on the rack and almost beat themselves thanks in part to lunacy from Blair. Powell talked up the game as very important and pivotal this week, and despite that, we still sh*t the bed with a team of his choosing.

For the record I wasn't happy when we announced Powell, so I've never been on board and this season is doing absolutely nothing to change that. If we'd have announced Wane, I'd have been ecastatic and I think he's a b*llend as well. He would have got more out of this shower.

It's still not good enough, but there was some improvement in those to games. Those first 2 tries conceded v Cas were individual defensive errors enacted by a young inexperienced player, not a lot Powell or anyone else can do.

We're fragile at the moment and those two scores put us on the back foot.

Are you in favour, out of interest, in blooding the young players? It's always a bit of a gamble. It's the perfect storm: young players finding their feet with new arrivals, plus peeved off experienced player in one team!

Translated as....

'I'm that moaning fella in the South Stand, who spends all the game slagging off the team, & I can't wait for Powell to be sacked so I can come on here, rant at people in the pub, & bore/irritate people at the game, with how I told you he wasn't the right man for the job from the very start.'

He will still call himself a supporter though

Who are you going to bring in?

Jesus christ, mate. I'm not bringing anyone in. It's not my job to do so. It is however my right to call sh*t when I see sh*t. End of. We're crap. Powells crap. He's never won owt of note. Has ruined our defence. No point scoring if the other team can outscore us.

As I suspected, you are that tedious fella in the South Stand, aren't you?

Just realised where we've gone wrong[/i.

We've employed the the wrong Daryl Powell.

He’s an award-winning lean author, having won the prestigious Shingo Research Award for The Routledge Companion to Lean Management in 2017, and the Shingo Publication Award for the Lean Sensei in 2020. Daryl is a University of Wales Trinity Saint David graduate and has just been awarded with the honorary distinction of Professor of Practice in Digital Lean Manufacturing.

So thats why Cas bottled the final that year.
