After having a couple of days to digest the defeat,I still think we need to totally rebuild,Gale is not any where near world class,I think the abject showing in the grand final proved this, yes he’s good on castlefords tylittle pitch but goes missing in other games,a lot of the players picked,were to me chosen on the advice of Betts& p45 cock,I still say get rid of the lot& surely if we have to rely on oloughlin and bringing assistant ref Tompkins back,then we can look forward to another decade of being 3 rd in the world!

If they would do it, I'd have Mcdemott as Head Coach, with Powell and Radford as assistants.

Please please please never Mcdermott unless you mean barrie, cant stand the bloke, I want to smash my tv up every time i see his face on it and hear his stupid sob stories. Be happy with Powell though

Powell has to be the man for job
We need to develop some half backs,and a decent full back although Widdop played really well.
We can match the best in the forwards but Powell is the man to throw a different game against the likes of Australia and create chances to score.
Yes you need defence but when you dont score you dont win.

Is it his amount of GF wins that upset you

Can understand people wanting Powell but does his showings in crunch games let him down? I'd also think it'd be very hard to get England playing like Cas given the short amount of time and games he'd have with the players.
