I have just a slight inkling that sarcasm was at play

I reckon that Powell will have convinced the Wire Hierarchy that with 4 new props and Dufty playing for Wire that he will be virtually coaching a new team next year. In my opinion they will give him that chance.

Sally is only being mischievous and doing a bit of light hearted fishing.

No, not Sally. I don't believe it. It's funny though the reaction of some people to the word "woke".

Catch of the day ha

I think everyone will be united in expecting a stellar opening 6 games next season.

The debate will re-ignite when we are P6 W3.

I think you might be on your own expecting a stellar opening 6 games.

But at least if we're winning half our games by that point it will be a reasonable debate, as people will be able to say there are signs of improvement and we're moving in the right direction.

More likely is we'll have won 0 or 1 games but Powell will still be in post and there will be more frothing on here than in the comments space on the Daily Mail.

In that scenario it would be justified frothing though wouldn’t it?

Depends what the fixtures are and whether there's effort and green shoots. I think we need to be assessing progress on performance more than results.

Performance and results surely. Six defeats but with lots of effort would surely be unacceptable.

Pretty much sums up why I’m still on Powell’s side. I’m sure he’s made errors too and is learning new things about coaching and also himself. For those who blame him for turning things upside down, it was the club who recognised this needed to be done and tasked the coach with that based on his history. He admits it’s never been so hard to change a mindset of a team.

If we had say 3 'easier' games while we were getting the combos working and lost them, but saw improvement throughout those 3, and the last of those 3 was Hull for example. Then 3 tough games against established opposition, would you be complaining if we lost 6?

After Easter, yes, we need to be winning. Before, we need to give the side chance to develop and not moan.

To paraphrase T Smith and a number of other coaches; ' focus on performance and the results will eventually take care of themselves'.

Fair point but I want to be seeing a solid defensive line from game one. I see that same panicky, retreating defensive line and I’ll know we’ll be in for a loooong season.

Let’s just face it , if Cozy hadn’t done what he’s done the charge would have been Powell out for not doing what he’d been brought in to do
