On the other hand someone a rung or 2 down from the top can often see what is going wrong because they know the organisation so well. I guess hindsight will show whether he was the right appointment, One major caveat being that a bit like Karl F we don’t actually know what his responsibilities are so he could end up being blamed for things that aren’t his fault (I can’t say whether that was the case with KF as I don’t know what his responsibilities are/were).

Bringing in someone high profile sometimes works & sometimes fails & vice versa. If you think you have a really good person for the job ... why advertise? I personally do not know Mr Chambers but he talks a lot of sense & knows Wire well. Not knowing his job description does make any meaningful comments pretty difficult.

Sam Powell is our latest signing.

I read that rumour on the Wigan board yesterday.

If true, then Dwyer must have been moved-on to another club......Maybe Salford??

I'd rather have dwyer i think and trust danny walker to do mostbof every game. Most wigan fans dont rate Sam Powell.

From what I've heard its aswell as Dwyer rather than instead of.

I think it is reasonable to expect a legitimate DoR to have input on the appointment of the coach.

It would be poor management of Salary Cap, to have 3 hookers, who are all senior players and who are all specialists No. 9`s

I thought same to be honest, can cover in the halves too though.

It seems a bit of a strange signing if true.

Also over on Wigans board we are moving Kasiano and King to Saints and will be covering some of the salary to be able to get Olam in. All very odd, when I first heard of Kasiano to Saints I’d been told that a deal had been worked out that would enable Mikaele to stay. It’s changing faster than the weather lately.

I don't think the Sam Powell rumour is true, or that we are shipping King out.
If Powell is coming in there would have been no reason to announce Dwyer if we're immediately shipping him out.
King is a decent centre that currently plays for England and will only cost us 50k on the cap. It makes Zero sense that we would shop him out to another club. Justin Olam would cost a fortune and i can't see him being a big game changer.
Shipping Kasiano out seems like an actuall possibility if Burgess doesn't want him, but he was superb the first 8 games for us before the wheels fell off for the WHOLE team bar 2-3 players.
I hope the supposed player round a bout is all bullpoop rumours, as it's just more disruption again.

I don't rate king, but even if he was the world's best centre he clearly doesn't want to be back here. No point having a player who doesn't want to play for you.

Why doesn’t he want to be back here? Seemed very happy pre Powell - Powell has gone, so what is the issue?

All his stupid 'prc' mates have gone as well.
