Next year is definately Powells Squad and they'll fully buy in to his coaching. The divas and bog standard players ( well most) have been moved on and he's signed a big aggressive pack that will be dominant, and we have some pure speed littered around the squad. The Likes of Clark, Dufty, williams, Ashton and currie etc will shift up a gear running off our pack and we'll be class.
We need to keep Wardle and need a new good half ( Brandon Wakeham apparently) and i think we're set for next year.
New year, New squad, New attitude. We'll be flying next year  '"
As an outsider, fully agree with this. Give Powell 3’years minimum and you’ll be flying. Rebuilding a club takes time ……. |

I think half a dozen games at most regardless of opposition should give us a insight about what is to come.

I think we all know what is to come. If we give this absolute clown of a 'coach' 6 games then we'll end up 2 or 3 wins behind leigh and Wakefield and the new coach will be in another relegation scrap. Sack the muppet now and don't let him get his hands on the new recruits for pre season. |

Perhaps the club should sell season tickets on an improvement or return basis for 2023.

The realities of life are going to be very different next year as the price spikes will force people into tough life decisions who previously would have been insulated from the worst of it. Heat or eat or watch Wire get beat. |

| This forum is really deteriorating into a tedious, repetitive borefest, isn't it?.. 
Every post seems to turn into the same old depressives moaning about how the club is being run, whether at board or coaching level.
Fellas, what about logging off to February, find a hobby or two and just learn to find some positives in life - Crying about a rugby team isn't how you be needing to spend your hours, honestly... |

Totally with you on this. Mind you a few have had the "same old depressive moan" for the last ten years. It's how we are.

You are correct, it is tedious and painful. The in-fighting and slagging each other off is grim too. But, in the interests of perspective, it is hardly unexpected after the season we have had which is the worst in a generation. A lot of people feel duped, frustrated and embarrassed.
In terms of positives for 2023 I am looking forward to seeing how our new pack perform next season. It may be the first time in a decade we have a truly fearsome pack with a bit of mongrel about it.

It really is, I agree.
From here on in the disillusioned ones amongst us will bow to your greater experience and foresight. We now understand that Mr Powell and his handpicked coaching team have so far picked out the real bad apples in the squad, they just wanted menace and didn't want to win trophies at all.
The coaching squad have developed training and development programmes building improved personal and team skills in combination with game plans individually developed to ensure we win against the best the competition can pitch us against. The fact we have lost an inordinate number of games is unfortunate but will set us up bigger and stronger for our subsequent seasons.
The casual criticism of individual players by Mr Powell, especially the younger ones making their way in the game is for their benefit, if we break their confidence now, they simply were not good enough for us the mighty Wire.
We have a number of new recruits joining us next year which is good news. They have plenty of grey haired experience and what may seem like a SAGA holiday for Aussie forwards will provided us with the hard headed grunt up front which we need and completely change the culture sadly lacking for several years.
Now this may take 2 or 3 years to develop us into a team of world beaters, Rome wasn't built in a day, we will stand by Mr Powell regardless of what happens to results because we know he is the best coach Warrington could acquire, we are lucky to have him and should not criticise him if once again he gives us reasons for another loss which are of course always just and fair.
Thus, with us all singing from the same hymn sheet, this forum will be a much happier and creative place. Disagreements will stop and our lives will be enriched by not being questioned by the trouble makers who have a different point of view.
Long live the King, Mr Powell.
There you go, fixed it for you. Sunny uplands here we come. Join the queue for next years season tickets and Grand Final, or possibly the year after, or the year after that....
Yours happily.

Could the critical & confrontational atmosphere on the forum have been tempered by the club announcing ,on Powell's appointment that his remit was to strip the squad back to basics & rebuild in the mode of DP ? Or would that have hit season ticket sales ?

Well it will certainly hit season ticket sales for next year.....and by the time the Powell's 3 year plan comes to fruition in 2024 the club will make a fortune because there will be minimal season ticket sales and everyone will be paying full price on the door on matchday, just like I did this year for the games I was able to attend.... |

Is Warrington too big of a club for Powell?
Is the like of Cas within his depth?
Asking for a friend.

Powell did a similar hatchet job and did a mass clear-out at Leeds.
When he had done all the dirty work, Hetherington sacked him too and appointed Tony Smith.

Some bosses are good at hatchet jobs but less successful at building winning teams, rugby or business.
Other bosses are successful at building good teams but poor at hatchet jobs.
Looks like Hetherington, who knows Powell very well, decided on the first option.
Will Warrington? |

my real worry is the old “the operation was a TOTAL success, unfortunately the patient died.”
