The fact that Powell thinks that Ratchford is a better option at 6 than Dean is the tipping point for me. We could have the worlds best pack next season but with Ratchford at 6 what is the point? Out Powell. The spelling of Mikaele today was also amateurish and Minikin and Holmes are laughable additions….and this is from someone who was willing to give him a chance. I genuinely believe he is actually a poor coach.

Another sad indictment of our DREADFUL retention /recruitment

Happiest man in Warrington 2 year deal for being crap at his job, wouldn’t everyone like to be in that position.

I’ve said it for quite a few seasons but Ratchfords presence at this club is a huge millstone and I thought Powell would end it…the fact he has elongated the issue means we are in big trouble. Buy out Ratchford and Powell’s contracts asap.

Wonder if Huddersfield are up for another player exchange deal, i.e Will Pryce for Stephan Ratchford?

We should’ve put Ratchford on the transfer list in his pomp and the lack of interest would’ve shown how (insurlarly) overrated he is. He should be nowhere near our 21 squad next season.

Another bobbins decision from the powers that be renewing Stef’s contract.

I know we won’t but I just want to see Dean and Williams played at half back for the rest of the season. They’re both actual half backs, we can have some consistency and can actually take a considered view on Riley Dean as a first team prospect. 7 half back partnerships is ludicrous

If he doesn’t play Dean on Sunday he should resign. Same goes for the woefully ineffective second row that he has not changed ONCE this season. Saying that Currie had a dig today, Holmes was his usual terrible self. Anyone think it will be Holmes that makes way for Nicholson?

I would actually put Nicholson at 13 next week. Can’t fault Matt Davis for effort and heart but he made no impact going forward. If Ashton is fit I really hope he plays and isn’t left out for Minikin (who I thought worked really hard today) as Ashton provides a far higher threat level. If Powell is happy to give a first team shirt to Connor Wrench for the rest of the year (which I support) then he should also do the same for Dean, Thewlis and Nicholson.

Highly unlikely. Will Pryce is off to the Newcastle Knights.
