Never seen that happen.

Wtaf. Seriously.
He is absolutely delusional. He was happy with that performance.
He is making excuses.
Oh.
He's just said we are talking rubbish.

Edit. That was the Powell interview.

Nearly as laughable as the amount of stuff you make up on here maybe?

Should have had 3 in that first half: the ball was moving much better and it was an even game with us at least matching Wigan on their own patch.

You're probably unaware, but young players take time to bed in and learn from mistakes. Welsby etc, they've made mistakes and learned from them. We've got 3 young inexperienced back 3 players who look exciting and will be worth the investment. They need to make their mistakes to improve.

Anyway, Powell ain't going anywhere, so chew it.

JJB calling out the bs. Hes dead right.

Powell sounding like Baghdad bob

He isn't far wrong......

All teams target wingers and full backs. The difference between a good side and a bad side is that the good sides make sure it's difficult to put up good kick in the first place (usually the forwards' job) and/or give the winger or full back some protection from the chase (usually centres and 2nd rows). Regan Grace isn't a great player under the high ball, but 95% of the time he is taking poor kicks under little pressure. We hang out our young players to dry.

If we are talking about targeting, I'd mention Wigan's first try where Holmes was originally beaten by Field to create the break, then made a pathetic attempt on French that enabled the final pass.

First half excellent? We bombed 2 or 3 chances, and Wigan were poor. We didn't capitalise. Sign of a bad side.

As for your second,....well that went well against HKR, Hudds, Wakey, Salford etcetcetc

Did Powell really just say on Sky we are looking to the future and building something special. He’s officially lost his mind.

Completely out coached by Peet tonight Wigan had made 2 interchanges at 50 minutes knowing they’d destroy us late on.

"I thought we was good" (sic)

The acceptance of mediocrity is beyond a joke.

He should be out before the sports news on tomorrow morning's BBC Breakfast sports news.

Knowing our board, he'll be as gormless as ever, at 1945 on Thursday night, when that Aussie woman goes through her banal "questioning"

Sorry, haven't read all the thread.

To me tonight and the saints game look like a team who were trying harder because they didn't want to get humiliated, the rest of the games they give it a bit of a go then give up. Why or whose fault it is I have no idea, Also its awful seeing Cooper and Briers celebrating in those colours.

The worrying thing for me is that 14 out of tonight’s 17 are here next year. If Wardle stays it’s 15. It’s Powell’s side so of course he has to shoulder the responsibility.

Anyone questioning whether the coaching team are to blame have to look at the statistic that we have conceded 30+ points in 12 out of 22 games this season. Last year we didn’t conceded more than 30 points in any game .

Be careful what you wish for

Put everyone (including Powell) out of his misery. Nothing personal but he isn’t the right man and I hate to think what McGuire and Vaughan will think having been coached by the best.
