Yep. I think he was very impressive & was a real handful. Got injured & lost confidence & fell off a cliff. I still think we asked him to do too much but I think we were short of another half-back for a while. He's obviously a decent player though.

It is surprising we are willing to spend over the odds on players who are basically 2nd rate & can't get games in Oz or for our competitors.

No wonder the reserves & youngsters are disillusioned & how much better would our reserves be if the money was invested in youth development. Once again the club is going down the road of quick fixes.

We sometimes get comments on the forum from those involved in our youngsters. I get the impression from them that we do invest more than most in our youngsters but bridging the gap between our youngsters & super league level is the nub. Not much doubt though that all clubs rely on quick fixes.

It's wrong to describe us as a club that wins nothing, we do get the occasional Challenge Cup or LLS, I would use that title to describe clubs like Salford, Wakey, Cas or HKR

Might need a new coach if the rumours on social media are true.

Go on then what rumours

A bit of a clue in my original message when I mentioned you might need a new coach.

Lots of posts on Twitter saying Powell has gone.

Don`t think the club chairman did say that.

That's interesting, because if you search his name on Twitter there is absolutely nothing about him leaving....

I don’t do twitter so wouldn’t know.

No chance we get rid whilst we’re still in the hunt for the playoffs, we’re not that ruthless.
Calling bull on this one IMO

Jamie Bate is calling it. Waiting on his pay off according to Jamie.

(I wonder who Jamie is on here??)

Well it’s gone wild now

No way he's gone with a break between the wakefield game and 5 players returning. We're giving him more time 100%, we're still sat in 5th place with 8 games to go. They'd give him until the end of the season at least i think.
