he should get 2 full seasons.

if at the end of that, were still rubbish, then he walks.

I’ll tell you why I said it. Powell has done a great job at Cas, no denying that. But a very different set up. He has absolutely no experience in managing ego’s and unrealistic expectations. We were all thinking he’d be taking some decent players with him from Cas (Trueman, Watts, Evalds, McShane) but Holmes and Matautia…..
Surely this should be ringing some alarm bells at your end?

No alarm bells here, because what I'm seeing is pretty much what I expected. We have an underwhelming, overrated squad which needs a massive rebuild.

Powell's immediate job is to suss out those with a long term future and those without, and just under 2 months in, I reckon he will have a fair idea already. I just hope he has the backing of those above him to get rid of those he sees surplus to requirement.

To anyone criticising Powell, I'd say come back in 12-18 months and see what we have then and then maybe we can discuss his position as coach.

Don't know why Powell gets 2 years worth of good will but Price got about 4 games before people were paying for his ticket home. It's been 5 months and people are still fighting him on what he wants? Likely people with contracts that can't be shaken too. Powell won't change much of anything, we definitely won't be defending better under him.

I just think those two players are so bang average, it would worry me what level he’s aiming at…..

Nah, things went sour for Price when we lost the first playoff in 2019 after our season fizzled out. He didnt help himself by repeating that same feat twice more.

Let's not retrospectively beatify Price.

Agreed, price did really well in the first season with us, he looked like he had a planand had put some really solid foundations in to place. Unfortunately after sorting the defence out the attack never followed and we then just went backwards. Looking back those 2 ultra Conservative finals pretty much set the tone under Steve Price and sadly the only time it worked in a final was against saints in the cup final.

Price didn’t do himself any favours telling us every week what kind of footy team he had.

It wasn’t so much an ‘open door’ I think we got £100k off Pies for Gleeson. Only we bought him for £230k.

It's the players that are the problem and not powell, if players are butting heads with him it shows their arrogance and overinflated egos. The Powell out chants are rediculous and shows how sad our fans are. If it isn't IMMEDIATELY perfect lets all spit our dummies out and call to fire the coach straight away.
Powell will get rid of players who won't change and bring in people who want to learn and give it full effort. And he'll have some good money to use next year.
This year is a clichèd transitional year and people need to realise that, change, culture and attitude take time to implement. It's not something that happens overnight.

Literally a stupid post, "he has absolutely no experience managing egos".......what a moronic comment.

Daryl? Is that you Daryl??

I think Powells comments are spot on, time for the players to stand up now and start producing. Powell needs to shaken it up though and get them out of their comfort zone, drop the worst offenders.

Powell's comments give me confidence that he knows that we're rotten and is going to fix it.

There aren't any excuses right now, I'm glad he'd not looking for any.
