Probably a gimmick is his biggest weapon this week RD. Any sudden buys would be cup tied.
Unfortunately ,we have a depleted squad through various reasons & just have to see what performance they put up. Anybody to put a spark in the performance would be welcome.

Send him back to Cas and we’ll let you have the Hull of a coach we have at present.

Good to see you lot have finally cottoned on to myth that is Gareth Widdop. Can’t believe it’s taken so long.

I have to ask, did Steve Price actually overachieve?

Just cast your mind back to the 3 play off exits.

Powell to Leeds ?

I'd be interested to know what event is happening on Saturday , since the CC game is on Sunday.....

But I suppose a 24 hr lock-in is one idea.

I know, I am not sure what our standard is. The spend on squad would indicate we should be one of the best teams in the competition, but then a cursory review of a game makes you believe we are one of the worst.

In Powell's defence, Price had years to create those embarrassments of 2019, 2020 and 2021 semi final exit. Powell has had 6 games.

Is it possible that this season we starting to see the sort of results that a Salary capped sport is meant to produce?
I suspect that there were a lot of changes in teams and coaches that were bound to result in unpredictable results and halfway point of the season should show a truer reflection, but “interesting times” for sure.

Super league is closer than ever and i'm loving it, the leeds v Salford game for instance was briliant to watch. A real back and forth fast pace hard hitting game. Apart from our games i'm really enjoying all the matches so far this year.
Powell potentially will have a lot of money to use next year. Widdop should be going home, along with J Clark. If the rumours are true aswell, Hughes and Charnley will be leaving. Those 4 alone will free up much needed cash.
If Widdop does go do you think Riley Dean could step up? or do you think Powell will throw money at Trueman?

See now thats an interesting point there, cos Trueman isn't the hot property he was 18 months/2 years ago, he's had back issues for most of the covid period, he shouldn't comman fat stacks, but if we don't sign him, and sign a prop no doubt the same old same old will be here 2 years down the line saying we should have splurged on Trueman.

Give Riley Dean a go and sign prop and 2nd row forwards with some grunt

“Wow”….where did I say KF was to blame?
I simply asked what can he do to get the fans back

A winner takes all race between Whizzy Rascal and the Wire Flyer of course.

Re: Trueman. Surely the catalyst for Trueman’s rise to prominence was Powell? If that’s the case, no point signing someone with back problems when we have a talented half back of our own waiting for Powell to work his stuff and turn him into a decent first team regular.

The whole point of signing Powell was to turn us into a decent side bringing through our academy stars. There simply aren’t many decent established ‘stars’ available to buy in this hemisphere, and no proven NRL coaches. The fact that some of our older heads may be waning could be a good thing and force Powell to bring the next generation through more quickly.
