To be fair we did play well BUT against a poor Catalans side that got the same treatment against Salford the following week. I think the best we can hope for is a proper dig some pride in the shirt with a hard fought St Helens type defeat to give us and the players some hope

There's absolutely no chance of you getting relegated. Toulouse and Wakefield are capable of catching you, but it's a nigh on impossibility that both will win enough games to relegate you. You'll still win 2 or 3 games at least and there's no way both Toulouse and Wakefield will win 5 each.

Not sure you were the first...correct me if I am wrong but you were supporting Powell last week. Unless of course you were supporting him to carry on as coach next year even if we were relegated.
Any way, I think and hope we will escape relegation, but his tenure has been shambolic, he is out of his depth and to be kind to him it would be a relief if the board put him out of his difficulties and asked him to resign.

Sad bell has spoken, it is so.

Who are “the board”, I’ve heard “the board” mentioned loads these last few months. Please tell me KissKam is not on “the board”.

And that is what it has come to.
Summarised by Sad one, our great achievement and ambition this year is to not be relegated.
Let's give Powell another year, we've got a number of older forwards coming from south of the equator to turn us into Champions next year. ...
Jeez....what have we become?

I shouldn't bite, but if we can't beat a busted hkr side at home, then where are these 2(or 3!!

)wins coming from?

Knowing our lot they will do just enough to survive after Powell is sacked.

NO. But I am sitting nervously.

YES. I’ll say that on here, but not in person, as I don’t want to get beaten up… The fact is (as Sally pointed out on another thread) that Powell transformed Featherstone and Castleford, and had a big hand in setting Leeds up for a period of success. This was no accident.

I think the problem with Warrington is partly down to humility. We have had a culture of players who earn big bucks but get comfortable. They’re generally past stars who have nothing to prove and although they perform to a high standard generally (down to sheer talent) they don’t have that drive to excel anymore. There’s no incentive. Now Powell has come and turned this comfortable culture upside down. He won’t let the players choose to sit next to their mates at lunch, he won’t let them set their working hours on their terms, and he’s analysing their weaknesses with such attention to detail that they’re offended by any criticism. Added to this he’s changed the style of play, the calls, and he’s told them they’ve got to [iearn[/i a new contract if they want to stay.

Now, we can argue whether he’s gone about this in the right way, and whether he didn’t foresee the anxiety and the loss of confidence that this upheaval would create. However, this time last year we were begging for someone to come in and turn things upside down and overhaul the squad whilst bringing through young talent. And Powell certainly has a history for that. I think this also a learning curve for him though, as previously he’s been dealing with a bunch of fresh, humble and mostly young players who are easy to mould, rather than a comfortable, set-in-their-ways family of past masters who have found a cushy retirement gig to top up the pension.

I’m all in til easter ‘23 and live in hope.

No - but it's gonna be close
Yes - But with the squad we have next year, if we're in the same situation after around 10-12 games i think he'll be shown the door. But i think we're gonna be THE team to beat next year. On form we're gonna have a dominant forward pack, with a S-H-i-t load of skill and speed to burn. VERY VERY excited for 2023.

You up late? Or did you wake early? Thought I’d be the only one around at 4am on a Sunday.
