Neither of them are fit for purpose.

In the name of God, go

Dufty off for a scan and Mikaele unlikely to play against Wigan.

That aspect I fully understand, but again, if he's not in charge of the defensive structure, it's not specifically his fault that we can't defend well... So yes, he should remove Sheridan, but Powell is putting us in a position to score a solid number of points.

I'm not saying Powell is innocent in all of this, far from it... But if we had to make a decision on who goes, if we remove Powell, we run the risk of being unable to score at all with a new HC. But if we remove the one in charge of defence, we at least roll the dice of getting a stronger one in return, since we already choke games as it is.

I'm not 'Powell In' by any means... I've made plenty of posts condemning him, but between him and Sheridan, logically Sheridan goes first. But that's IF he's the one building the defensive structure.

If we were getting beat by teams at full strength, battling valliantly and just falling short I'd be heartbroken.

But we are getting beat out of sight by teams with much worse injury problems than us, we are being out enthused and we are wallowing in self pity, apathy, look totally unmotivated and like a bunch of strangers.

I'm not heartbroken, I'm fuming and everyone associated with the club should be.

Powell carries the can for our results. It's his backroom team, and there's nothing more to say.
I think that Sheridan should go first, then if Powell is sacked it ensures that Fitzpatrick cannot hand control to Sheridan, even on a temporary basis.

You can always rely on the Wire

Just another quick roll in the glitter, be fine then for next week

Damaging day all round.
Grim time to be a Wire fan.

You shouldn't have got rid of Lee Briers he's turned the Wigan attack around

Responsibility vs accountability.

Sheridan may be responsible for overseeing the drills, but the structure and ethos is handed down by the head coach.

It also doesn’t point to being just Sheridans fault. We have similar issues with fitness, conceding on 38 minutes and running out of steam on 65.

We also don’t kick the ball effectively, never really scoring from kicks or building pressure from repeat sets.

All of these small breakdown areas can’t be blamed on coaches and junior staff. The head coach is accountable for them all.

It’s clear that this isn’t working. Again, conceding too many points, unable to close out a lead against significantly weakened opposition. It’s almost comical now.

While no single incident is going to change how bad we are, Inwas right in line with this and it was a definite trip. Very hard to take considering Bullock was sinbinned only a few minutes later for a similar incident after a kick through.

I remember seeing a tv piece on Cas ,maybe last time they went to Wembley & it implied Sheridan was the master tactician.

Pretty sure Pearson would of sacked him already.

This 3 yr deal Powell and his sidekicks have been given, I think I understand now.
1st yr Relegated
2nd yr Promotion with a trophy & medals.
3rd yr LLS, Challenge cup, Grand final winners & world club championship.
It's all clear now.

If our coach implements the same thing each week, how does he think the outcome will this time be different?

No he wouldn't, he stuck with radford 3 years and multiple battering too long
