There were some positive signs for sure but he's obviously very raw and a long way off which is to be expected. His natural instincts of hopping around on the spot waiting for some big, lumbering 6ft 10 Union forwards to jump on him made me chuckle. He seemed to be grasping it more by the end though and was getting in to a forward motion quicker.

He certainly gave it everything so well done him.

Yes OK. The idea of moving several odd posts elsewhere using the mechanisms available wasn't exactly a great prospect.

So Andy Powell had fragile confidence and self belief? Did he tell you that himself? Shame on Wane for playing him.

I'll answer that for you. You don't have a f'ing clue how prepared or willing Powell was to make his debut. Or how 'vulnerable' he was. Or if Wane asked how he felt about playing or if he was ready to play.

That's the last I'm going to say on it.

He needed to play his first game at some point, and it was going to be a struggle. If he played tomorrow he'd already look a lot stronger just from having that first run out under his belt imo. I would give him time at the Scorpions, but I definitely believe there's a lot of potential in him as a rugby league player.

I don't think I've ever seen an overreaction like this thread. If we'd won by the margin we'd lost and he played exactly the same as he did, this thread wouldn't be anything like the drama it is now.
