Oops, but I don't suppose the coach and players like to look at the table.

| After scoring 102 points in their last three matches, Powell is happy enough with his side's attacking prowess but concedes they have a major problem in defence and is hoping to be given time to turn it around.
"That's out of my control but what I would say is that there are enough good signs," he said.
Absolutely astounded that a super league coach can make a statement like that. I think that statement alone should see him shown the door and I was one of those people that believed he should be given some time, but I think he has had plenty now and just does not have the ability.
I think what concerns me most is that players are becoming worse under him rather than improving or even just holding their own. Players like Bailey, Dorn Randall, Howell, JOC and others like them have at some stage been either super league standard players (certainly not saying top of the tree) or players with potential, but under Powell they have dropped way below that standard. It worries me what will happen with players like Dixon and Sarginson with a bit more time under Powell. Currently I think its their natural ability that responsible for their good form but I fear that Powell will find a way to coach that out of them.
I am not absolving the players of blame for the poor start to the season but Powell must have a big part to play. If you look at Bellamy for the Storm they have constantly brought in average or ageing players and Bellamy has been able to get them up to the level to win premierships.
A coach has to be able to get the best out of players, not the worst which is certainly the case. DH needs to find someone who can do that.....now.
That said (and I have no idea why) but I think we will win well against Wakey.

| That said Windy we have won only one game against the team that was bottom until last night when we replaced them!! At least we can now say we have beaten a team that is above us, to put a positive spin on it!!

| Saints should have won. Hudds should have lost by one score only. Play like that today we should win by 12.

| Some people are now so one-eyed they're deliberately misreading words to fit their own agenda.
Here's the question/statement Powell is happy enough with his side's attacking prowess but concedes they have a major problem in defence and is hoping to be given time to turn it around.'"
So he's being asked to comment on whether he'll be given time to turn aorund the team - ie, be sacked.
Quote: That's out of my control but what I would say is that there are enough good signs, ""That's out of my control but what I would say is that there are enough good signs," he said.'"
He responds by saying that whether he is sacked or not is out of his control, but he thinks there's sufficient positives to justify his continuance.
He doesn't say that the defence is out of his control. His continued employment is.
That wasn't hard to understand.
