Post by Fumper27 » 07 Jan 2020, 17:53

Hardaker
Eden
Blair (struggling for centres)
Feki (struggling for centres)
Solomona
Trueman
Gale
Watts
Macca

JSL

Good team that mate, but think I’d have gone with Gary Lo instead of Crooksie :D

Yes he did. Powell took over in June 2013

Do they have to be in the position they played? If not then I'd go:

Dorn
Solomona
Minikin
Hardaker
Eden
Roberts
Gale
Watts
McShane
Lynch
McMeeken
Moors
Sene-Lefao

Cook
Jewitt
Sneyd
Mariano/Foster

Harsh on Truey but as much as I like him, I don't think he's done enough in big games to warrant it yet. Roberts, as much as he was injury prone, was awesome in 2017 and had largely good days. Also won us some big games. Sneyd was also excellent in 2014 just after Powell had just come in and got us to the CC Final.

The lack of depth in some positions is not necessarily from bad recruitment but just retention of having players over a long time. He's only ever signed about 5 wingers pre 2020. (Solomona, Eden, Monaghan, Hitchcox, Clare) after we lost Carney and Dixon. Can also count Minikin but I think he was signed as a centre originally.

No Millington?
Edit - just ready the first post, thought we were thinking about any players who have played under Powell rather than ones he has signed.

Signed in first season (2014). Dorn was #6 with Sneyd 7 I think.

Then switched to FB with Owen's injury problems and Tansey going.
