| Quote: MadDogg "Great to have him for the last few games.
Has anyone seen the video online of Daryl Powell's first meeting with the squad? The fact it was released is bizarre but Powell's talk was bloody awful. Uninspiring, dull, condescending - could completely understand players feeling disillusioned if that's the guy they have to play for.'"
Iv just watched it and it’s not as bad as I was expecting, his ideas seem okay but I agree he’s very uninspiring and dull and you can imagine that’s potentially the reason why the players don’t seem to be buying in. When you listen to someone like Wane you think players will run through walls for him as he’s so inspiring when he speaks and has an aura, i just didn’t get that from Powell there.
I think it’s really interesting to see what happens with Warrington under him, very surprised he’s not been sacked and even more so he’s been let carry out such an overhaul and backed for next season. His track record is pretty good I suppose so maybe he deserves time but if Peet had Wigan in that position I’d be calling for his head and imo Peet inherited a much worse team.

| [*] Quote: NickyKiss "A real boost for our chances this season. We need more ground around the middle, especially against Saints and he can hopefully provide that. As much as his Wigan career fizzled out, I remember the boost Frank Paul Nuaausala gave us in 2016 and hopefully Cooper can do the same. He made his debut away at Leeds as well funnily enough (that pretty much confirms our Grand Final 2022 win).'"
Great point about FPN, he was dominate in the GF and the preceded few games.
He’s a bit of a punch line given how bad he was in 2017 but he was superb in 2016.

Cooper and Byrne to start, Havard, Ellis and Mago from the bench. Dare I say it but that's getting close to an ideal rotation. No drop off when Havard and Ellis come on and Mago in shirt bursts to open things up.

| Havard should be in the starting line up without question IMO.

I like the Byrne/Havard starting partnership but Cooper gives us more experience to start which is why I've gone for him. I also think Havard is relentless when he comes on and against a tiring defence that's results in more yards and better field position. Swings and roundabouts though and I'd be happy with either.

I would go for Cooper/Havard personally.

I'm not 100% sure. He's been our best prop, but he's still relatively young. I'd keep him coming off the bench for now and let Cooper take the brunt of the starting work.
I really rate Byrne, but I'd also like to see Ellis start the game a couple of times and see how he goes.
