Good point.

Too many threads are being hijacked at the moment to turn it into an anti-Wane/Lenagan agenda driven rant. There are other threads on here discussing both so I suggest people use the appropriate threads.

Where there any mitigating circumstances that meant we should have kept Noble?

Coaches get judged on results. I have felt for some time IL would give Wane his years option and he may justify that on circumstances with players having left (even if that is partly down to decisions made by IL anyway). Beyond that and I doubt he will be kept on if there is no trophy success.

IL expects finals and expects year on year improvement. It may be a tall order to deliver that with the squad changes that are going on but that is where Wane finds himself.

If Wane accepts losses of players like Mossop and probably Sam and says to IL we can still be a success I reckon IL will take that at face value and expect results. No results, no job.

Same with the debate over Wane doing things differently to Madge. Wane said he could improve on Madge. Fair enough that is how I expect IL will judge him.

And what has that to do with Andy Powell?

As you are a mod could/should you not move these posts to a Shaun Wane thread?

Please do not start a SW thread until I have got my popcorn.

Because Shaun Wane had a 'duty of care' not to feed 6ft4 18 stone Andy Powell to the wolves

Wane Out!

Can we have it in 3D.

You are right but in my defense I was responding to a post in this thread. Moving posts on here into a different thread is a bit tricky compared to other forums. I am off out but I may have a go later. Don't blame me if it all goes wrong!

It's a pain in the proverbial, Dave, trying to move posts out into others.

Suggest that it now moves back to Powell and any posts off topic just get deleted - which I've already done. Same for other threads as well.

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.
