‘Bad eggs’ gone, same result. The common denominator is Powell.

And if it’s the pack how does that explain spending an entire half in the opposition 20 and only coming away with 12?

Minkin, Matautia, Holmes and Mikaele are also varying degrees of poor…all his work. IMO the worst coach we’ve ever had, maybe joint with Lowes.

Quote: Gazwire "At least we're improving... from incredibly crap to crap. The brown colour shade has lightened from a few months ago, but the shape is still stool-esk.'"



So what you're saying is "we're sh*t"?

It's hard to defend that collapse in such a short period after ht.

At this rate Gaz might get off the ignore list.

A dour Yorkshire man has turned the most optimistic fans into a dour lot. If the Board don't act and remove him at the end of the season the club is doomed until his tenure is up.

Just seen the tries back:

1st try: where's the sweeper? Dufty/Ratch - something to learn from

2nd try: poor man on man tackle by Minichin, I think

3rd try: minichin coming in from his wing, leaving his opposite in space for a pass

First conceded try is structural and the last two are poor individual errors. Minichin has really let the side and Powell down here, especially given his experience.

Perhaps because he is yet ANOTHER poor Powell signing. You can highlight individuals as much as you want (it's different culprits each week) but it all comes down to one man and one man alone. His lack of actual coaching (confirmed by some players) is so glaringly obvious.

Also Matautia has overtaken Holmes as my least favourite Powellite IMO, ruddy nora he's poor.

Calm down Ratticus. I'm just objectively analysing the tries in black and white (if you interpret the post in the manner it's intended).

You know, I always try to stay on the optimistic side of things, I dont get personal on players ever.

But I really really don't like matautia in our side, it's a strong dislike bordering on something else.

I dont trust him, I dont think you can rely on him, we're back to wingers under price not getting a pass.

He and Minikin were a lightning rod last night for everything that's wrong about this team.

I actually thought Holmes was alright on the left to start off with.

I wasn't having a pop at you I'm merely offering the opinion that Minikin may well have let his side down on those tries but one man has let the entire club and town down ALL season.

Last home game = same appalling issues on the field. Get rid of Powell, his coaching team & the lazy, pathetic players he bought with him. The owners need to grow a pair now & not 6 games into next season. Holmes is a passenger & has been all season & the other 2 aren’t much better. If Powell is here next season they will be as well - enough said. We deserve to be relegated that is the level we are at now & Powell must take the can for the situation. The Club needs to have a long look at it's part in this seasons debacle - the final final straw for me last night was MoM award to Jason Clark (because he's leaving??) a steady plodder who has tried is best when playing for the Wire but has never really been good enough. How must Bullock, Ratchford & Mulhearn feel having played their guts out?

SORT THIS OUT WARRINGTON - Don't wait any longer!!!!

And another thing the players are not fit enough for a full game of SL rugby. Castleford just bided their time & waited for us to collapse, as we always do, & the game was theirs. That's totally down to Powell as is the lack of structured attacking plays & the weak disorganised defence.

SORRY, but I'm bl**dy annoyed!

The problem we have is that Powell's appointment and 'cultural change mission' was backed by the board and in the main, a popular choice with fans. How long should a new coach making such changes have? There are so many grey areas it's difficult to finitely identify where to attribute faults in the context of such mass upheaval. I think that's the major issue and why it would be tricky for the board to sack him.

It has been disappointing thus far and Powell in his interview was more honest in that he basically said, he hasn't succeeded in instilling the mental toughness required, yet. It does concern me because this facet of performance is something that can be fixed reasonably quickly eg. Utd v Liverpool where ten Hag seems to have worked some magic in such a short space of time.

A slight caveat, and I'm not making excuses because I'm fairly annoyed too, but Minichin hasn't played too many games and he was responsible for 2 tries. That said, those 2 defensive errors shouldn't be happening with a seasoned pro.

After last night, I have to admit to being more concerned than at any other point during this season. I'm still backing him, but I absolutely get the posts wanting him out too and actually agree with the reasoning.

Those two Aus forwards and both Cats players seem like descent pros. Hopefully, at the very least, they'll bring a bit more back bone or else we're well and truly snookered.

I think we'd be better with Louise Minchin.
