He's had an off season to prepare these players. Either things have soured very quickly or there was resistance from the start and haven't already been stamped on, and neither of those options is a good look for anyone.

Well that's broken my irony meter.

Absolutely, and the speed with which morale and attitude have nosedived suggests the latter, that they were not and are not onboard with the coaching staff.

No pre season trip this year, everyone said it was a good thing no bonding sessions

Possibly

I don't know, but I'd like to think Powell would have some idea. Maybe a captain who is vocal (and good) would be able to get some reaction from his teammates.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to be more wise and one day I hope to wake up and be just like you.

Might sound stupid but maybe Mamo and Linehams little squad did more for morale around the place than one would have thought.

When are we getting his post match comments? I do wonder what the flavour will be this week

Just talking utter nonsense will do pal .
And how much bigger was hulls pack tonight over the small pack of Warrington ?

DP: "For 20 minutes, it was calamitous. "I don't think we had one defensive set where something didn't go wrong. "I was brought in to change the culture at this club and it's tough, but I'm working hard."

Blimey

DP: "I wouldn't want to make any excuses with the journey. "You're 20-0 down and you're just wow. You give yourself such a mountain to climb. "Defensively, we're miles off. "I look back through my coaching career and I rarely see five straight defeats. "It's not turning around quickly enough."

The opportunity is there next weekend, if a club trip/booty kicking clinic/bonding session/clear the air talks/therapy session is required.

Should have gone with 'trained the house down all week, there are some positives we can take from the performance'.
