Powell

Post by Mucky1978 » 13 Jun 2019, 23:22

I think he needs to walk away at the end of the season as he really as took us as far as he can.

Leeds would be a great fit for him.

2017 will never be bettered and the poor players he as brought in since then are the reason we are going backwards ya can’t just blame the board for the signing he as the final say.

And I don’t mean take the easy option and give it to Danny Orr who is just a glorified ball boy.

Get rid of him Orr and Sheridan and start again.

Thanks for the memories Darryl you won’t be forgoton.

I disagree. Powell isn’t the problem - it’s the players that threw it away tonight.

He’s right - freshen the squad and go again.

But arsh this a think mate all coaches we have had have struggled to back up with as good season after a good one. Maybe its a financial reasons we never back up . We desparetly need that new stadium to release more funds to make us consistently challenging instead off every ten years.

I agree freshen up the squad but freshen up our worn out boring attack that everyone in super league has figured out

Taken Cas as far as he can. Sadly he knows it!!!! Now even heard fans calling for his head. All the pre match on the pitch high fiving with players has gone! Even left home match debut changing room to somebody else! Sad fact is our best super league coach had list interest and its time go go Powell but he deserves the chance to walk away not sacking

Have you forgotten where we were before Powell?
When he took over in 2013 we were in serious danger of relegation.
We’ve made a cup final and a grand final in his 5 and a half years at the club.
Our last cup final was 1992 and we’d never made a grand final.
In 2014 we finished 4th, in 2015 we finished 5th, in 2016 we finished 6th, in 2017 we finished 1st and in 2018 we finished 3rd.
I’ve spent most of my life fearing the worst. Now, i actually feel like we have a chance of winning something.

And still achieving. I’d much rather finish 5th and have a chance of silverware with Powell than have a knee jerk reaction, get rid of him like you’re recommending, and end up back in 10th.

We are stronger with Powell. He’s a damn good coach. Squads evolve and change. You can’t win every week. He keeps us in and around the top 4 every season. He’s doing a super job for a club with the resources we have.

People’s expectations have gone so far off the scale it’s insane. Anyone would think we are the St Helens of rugby league. When did we become so arrogant that we suddenly think we should be unbeatable?

And despite the fact we are still very much in contention for the end-of-season play-offs, you think he should leave?

Not often I agree with HuddsTiger, but I think we are absolutely on the same page with this one.
You won’t find a better coach than Powell.

Not often I agree with Notts tiger and hudds tiger but he is top coach. What's worrying if we don't give him financial backing he will be Leeds coach next year

Gates are down where we giving him extra money from? Powell has spent nearly 300,000 alone on transfer fees over last 2/3 seasons? No major honours??

The salary cap is fully covered by central funding.
The daily lottery was supposed to be used to fund signings, recent recruitment brings that into question.

Is there blame, or is it just the nature of sport?
Some years everything goes for you. Other years, it doesn’t.
How much is down to luck? Or more pertinently, bad luck with injuries?

I”m critical of our recruitment both before 2018 and 2019 though and think we need to see some successful recruitment going into 2020.
