It's not really though is it lets be honest. We could quite easily and quite probably keep Powell and still not be relegated. Which is exactly what will happen.

Why so angry?

Its getting more tetchy than the Tory leadership contest on here, although no Tory these days dare admit they are a Powellite either.

Then why bring up 2009?

The longer fans accept mediocrity, the longer it’ll be until we’re back in contention to winning trophies again. It means the board can be relaxed about fighting relegation, and scraping around mid-table. They can afford to make below par appointments like Daryl Powell and not face the consequences of that poor decision. It’s unacceptable that we’ve regressed so far in less than one year.

Meeting was a vote of confidence meeting by all accounts...

It’s delusion to keep thinking relegation won’t happen to us. If we’re 12th after round 27, we’ve got Championship rugby league to look forward to.

If fans don’t speak up and continue to accept the mediocrity that is being served up week by week, it puts no pressure on the board to sack the first team coaching staff. It means the club is happy to see us relegated. It means the club is put at financial risk losing the sponsorship, central funding and Sky money that being in Super League brings. It means the club is ruined, and will take decades to rebuild.

For Daryl Powell I assume?

Can you disclose anymore details?

Thanks.

In whom…..from whom? KissKam or Daryl? Yey or Ney?

Not Boris again.

1. Do you think "speaking up" on here will influence the board of directors' decison? Or are you wanting a sit in protest or something?

2. Who do you want to replace Powell?

I think it's going to happen.

1. Sit in protest and 80 minutes on Sky of the fans chanting for Powell out and maybe a few Tony Smith's barmy army chants. Then a sit in protest to visually show that fact. It happened after cas 2008 when Paul cullen resigned.
2. Tony Smith. Publicly admitted he fell out of love with the game when he left us. And came back to Hull kr and took a 11th placed team and turned them into a team 80 mins away from old Trafford. And left because the boards vision for the club did not match that of Tony.

I honestly think the board have to stick with him given all the players he's despatched/recruited. I guess it comes down to how much credit Powell has in the bank from years of coaching at other clubs.

Also, I can't think of anyone readily available.

I didn't go to the the game, but I was following it on the Warrington Guardian. Were there any shoots of recovery, were we better than in previous games?

The main problem we have in games is that we turn off after establishing a lead ,the other team scores & we can't get back into games. I wonder if fitness is the issue. If we hadn't capitulated in so many games we would have been top six material at least.

So in the absence of any info from the meeting, I will share what was said to me last night. "The CEO has given further support to the 1st team coaching and management set up, caveated that they are on thin ice" and to add to that "this is the most unprofessional outfit I have played with". Yes I was talking to a current first team player.

I am not a Powell fan, we all know we need to resurrect our season, but for me Powell is not the man. I believe that we need a change and we need it quick to get us a couple of wins before we end up in a mess.

The coaches that are available that I have seen are TS and Maguire (others may be available), I would hope either or would be able to shake us up in the short term and save the club from the drop and then discuss future plans.

I agree with accepting mediocrity. Price should have been booted the end of 2019 after that playoff disgrace, or 2020 for sure. Tony was here 2 years too long too.

I think what is different here is that Powell is in his first season, has a credible name in the game, has taken an unfancied team to a grand final and won a League Leaders shield in recent memory. Sure we are terrible at the moment but the board, I feel, want to give him all the chances they can.

But it's a fine judgement and I understand the "Powell out" calls now.

That was a player talking about the other players? Or club in general? Did they include themselves in that collective?

Also how can you simultaneously back a management team and tell them they are on thin ice at the same time?

Sounds like a mad house.
