What you mean is, a new coach came in, told a bunch of underachieving egos that they had to pull their fingers out or else, and a group of those egos basically saw their s and behaved like petulant children and have now been moved on, leading to a massive upturn in results.

So it wasn't really a rift, just a fella doing his job correctly.

A massive upturn in results? You almost got relagated!!

Not sure how it was said but coming from Powell I can imagine it was not the nicest of telling off. Who really is he to tell anyone only thing he’s won is the LL shield and chocked in a final

I don’t disagree, however the post I was responding to was saying there isn’t any issue between Powell and King…I don’t believe that is the case.

So, this season, after finally ridding the squad of all the underachieving egos and having a pre-season with players who actually want to be there, we haven't improved, or have I imagined 9 wins from 11?

Oh, I agree that it's highly unlikely King will ever play for us while Powell is in charge.

Just a matter of how Wire manage to get the best deal for him.

So a coach can only have authority over a squad if he's been previously successful?

Funny to think that the best deal might still be a financial hit for Warrington.

If he’s gone in swinging his d*ck around then yea. I wouldn’t put it past someone saying who are you. I didn’t know you was in the room when they had those conversations so how do you know who’s the wrong.

And if any of that squad did try to say that, then they would rightly get binned. It's not like any of them had done anything to warrant lording it over the coach, whoever they was.

This was a squad that had failed badly for 3 consecutive years.

Could be, but funnily enough, if he continues to do ok for you this year, then it can only make that increasingly unlikely.

Now if he was doing rubbish, then we could indeed make a bad loss

You got rid of them last season and you were saved from relegation by a very poor Toulouse side.

If you mean you'd like to ignore an entire season in order to make your narrative work, then go ahead. The rest of us prefer not to change history.
