| If this turns to a full time deal, it could be the worst of the Powell failures. Cooper is approaching the end, King is on huge money but this is a kid who has shown great promise, plays tough and has 12-14 years in front of him. He’s not a world beater, but in a good system, with the right leadership, there’s no reason he can’t be. Letting him go would be an absolute disgrace, and the fans should get answers as to why. Another ‘bad apple’ whitewash won’t suffice on this.
We need our juniors to have a chance and to feel like they have the faith of the club, or just wrap up the academy now.

If this turns into a permanent signing, I think the old end of an era Wilderspool scarf will be consigned to the sock drawer and I'll find something else to do.'"
I remember feeling this way when Jonathan Davies went back to union. When a club legend departs it feels like the end of the world but you always end up coming back to Wire.

| What the hell??
The Emporer surely cannot believe that Currie, Holmes, Davies are a better option than Longstaff, because they have proven that on current form, they are not.
Fed up with seeing Powell walking round with no clothes on whilst thinking he's wearing some sort of magical suit....and fed up with him picking on Dean & Longstaff.

| I could be wrong as I’ve tried to erase as much of this season from my mind as possible but didn’t Holmes get suspended for 2 games after Leeds and we won the next two?

One game, I think?

| Didn’t he get one and then appealed and the RFL did us a favour and made it two? Powell made a ‘frivolous’ appeal - which shows
how much he rates him which in turn really calls Powell’s abilities into question.

He did get 2 after an appeal. Unfortunately, he has been so anonymous in every game since, he doesn't even do anything to get himself banned.

Couldn't agree more..the fact he as 12 years plus left in him the last thing we want to do is give hull a sniff of having him and any other club for that matter

If you want to annoy yourself on a Wednesday morning, have a gander at the highlights from Sunday, but before you do, have a guess who you may think which players maybe directly responsible for each try.
The answer may shock you

| I think we need to have somebody on loan to balance the cap with recent signings but Dean was needed more to cover halfback injuries. Maybe this loan was the only option on the table?
He surely has to play Dean this week the only halfback pairings that appear to have been alright this season have been the ones with Dean a part of them. Aside from maybe 1 game with Widdop and Williams in the early run. If Williams is fit and Williams is on the last tackle tactical kicking again I'm in the powell out camp, it doesn't work and any coach worth his salt would see that.

Nothing suprises me any more, and the half back shirts seem to be some sort of lucky dip at the moment, but I will be [iastonished[/i if Riley is in the 17.
You're more likely to see Powell himself come out of retirement or some sort of Barnstoneworth Utd reunion of Adam Doyle and Rocket Rodwell than Dean getting a chance.

| Interesting to read the comments on this thread.
Pardon the ironic pun with Longstaff being loaned to Hull..... but what if thing's aren't as black & white as they seem. What if the decision wasn't just Powell's ?

If that’s the case you will have made Dallasmead’s campaign all the stronger
