Exactly. How many of those 6 sides spend as much on their playing squad as we do?

Any evidence of the following

1. looking clueless near opposition line.
2. Conceding large leads
3. Not getting "up" for the small games
4. No clear territorial kicking plan
5. Averaging 20 pts per game against

and we know nothing has changed and it's time to cut our losses.

He's meant to be changing the culture if we aren't ruthless against these sides then the culture hasn't changed and he has failed and we should move on.

I'm hoping it won't come to that though and the pack will make us a lot more competitive.

Keeping very positive then eh! Come on give 'em a chance. Don't rack up the pressure.

Powell has done that for the entire 2022 season, putting pressure on himself through the performances and results.

We need proof of change, that's the bottom line.

It's not to do with positive or negative. Just objective markers to see if anything has changed.

Pressure? I hope he is feeling under pressure.

It’s a pressure environment, this whole project is to make the team better than the had been before. A mediocre campaign, limping out of the playoffs early won’t be saved by a cup run, they are the terms of engagement.

14 new players (and counting, 15 with Drinkwater) granted back to 12 as Holmes and Billy Magoulias have gone. It’s a purpose built squad, if there isn’t any expectation now then when will there be.

No excuses, only Williams is disrupted by the World Cup so perfect pre-season to prepare for hitting the ground running.

Exactly, on paper it's the 4th/5th/6th best coaching job in northern hemisphere rugby league. With the rewards, comes the expectation and pressure. No one forced him to apply for the job.

Similar to last season again 6 of our last 9 matches away from home.

I don't mind that. It means we have to peak at the end of the season when we're supposed to. It's likely that if we make the 6 it's going to be 5th/6th and playoff trips away from home, a la Leeds 2022. Build some resilience.
