Powell has to go he is responsible for motivation & tactics. Since March last year the team have been pathetic, he brings in new players and still no improvement. His judgement as to be called into question not enough props, centres not good enough. I'll use public transport for the giants game, at least I can get ed and forget about the crap Powell keeps dishing up for us to watch

Just got back from Hull and what a truly dreadful match it was until Sam Moa was red carded. The first & last away game I'll be attending given the costs involved. A shame we were seated in the corner next to the empty north stand though. No atmosphere there at all but had a good chat to the Hull fans who were equally appalled by the dullness of the first half & the refereeing decisions against them in the 2nd.

Oh... and here's someones YouTube clip of the red card incident.

No youtube links.

Heart dropped as soon as I saw the teamsheet tonight. How on earth can anyone think we are going to win going into a game with only two props. With Cook's injury this went up to three but imo it's still not enough. I thought at varous times all three worked hard but there was no support for them. Running one man out without support runners is not a recipe for success; it's a recipe to get belted.

It is thoroughly depressing seeing the same combination of one man rugby and soft defence out wide and I find it difficult with the change of personnel to blame anyone but the coach.

Also what sort of message is he giving out saying we won't really start playing until round 10?

I wondered before the game which performance was the aberation: Saints or Wire. It is absolutely clear now.

Why didn't we move the ball and attack Marting and Sharp. We know one is getting on and one very poor in defence plus they will have a 6 or 7 stood with them. I didn't see Howell of O'C have one run all game- 2 props and we went up the middle against a team that had an Aus Int prop on the bench!! Bizarre

Last night was woefully inadequate- Its Hudds next then 2 winnable games- Decision month for Powell.

If I was Hughes I would be on a Qantas flight today

And I had the same thoughts about Powell just sitting there looking like little boy lost, alone with his thoughts. He should have been barking instructions down the mike, he should have been running down the steps and giving instructions from the "dug-out" and not be sat there seemingly pondering on his forthcoming thoughts for the after-match interviews

Awesome hit!!

Well another disappointing match to watch, so many basic errors, penalties, but then Silverwood was whistle happy at times. Shocked when I saw the incident with Renaldi on TV this morning and his players congratulated Moa??

Stand by what I said previously I thought the appointment of Powell was a great move and supported it but always felt he should have has someone working with him as Director of Rugby for a year or so!

Currently it makes you feel when is the first win coming, is that a strap line for a PR campaign come to The Stoop and see if we can win? We are not going to draw in new supporters currently nothing to shout out about at all.

it highlights how lame and predictable we've become. We also have no speed from dummy half - Rinaldi was a disaster when he came on, ponderous - and underlines how much we miss Andy Ellis who gave us a genuine attacking edge.

Massive, massive worries after yesterday.
