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!

Andy Powell could look after himself with the best playing his first sport, Union. Playing League he is trying to learning a virtually new sport and as such is 'vulnerable' albeit lucky RL is much cleaner now. It did not matter that Stuart Evans was the biggest player on the pitch because he was 'out of his depth' If you played sport at a decent level you would also understand about the fragility of confidence and self belief. Last time I looked, neither were size related.

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.
