HKR on Thursday

[fords]

Darryl is a top coach what's he's done at Cas as been terrific stuff
Just because he's made some wrong desicions dosnt change that fact if he can bring in the players he needs I'd back him to re-build the side successfully

Yes he is arguably the best coach in Super League. And yes, he could rebuild the side given different circumstances.
My original post was trying to imagine his mindset in the event of losing to Hull KR. I didn't criticise him at all.

How can you be the best coach in SL when you have won nothing, its just baffling people coming out with this

Must agree it is laughable to keep saying he is the best coach in super league he has won nothing and he must take his fair share of blame for bringing players In that are championship players at the best and not to mention Some of the signings from down under he brought in.

Powell built a reputation on getting results with squads built of players that nobody else wanted. That's partly why he's regarded as a good coach.

My own feelings are that the Board at Cas have relied on this far too much and only recruited this standard of player in the hope DP will bring the best out of them. It has worked for most of his tenure so far but it is inevitable that you can't make a silk purse out of every sow ear.

As I've said elsewhere, it will be a more accurate measure of DP on how he now turns things around...again...and what support the Club give him.

As for winning "nothing", he's the only Cas coach to have topped the table which resulted in the LL Shield being won.

Your right he did, it was a great season and night when we lifted it.

However finishing top once doesn't make you the best coach in SL I'm afraid.

I never usually hold with games being "must win" but this is just about as close as they get I think.

Robins have had some decent performances and gone down c10 points a number of times. We were in that place, but have been tonked last time out.

Regardless of who plays, I think this is just about as close to a must win as one can get in a season without relegation.

Reckon a couple being rested with us having another game on Monday v Rhinos, looking like Bailey Hodgson debut v HKR at full back.

[old cas lass]

Playing at saints I don’t hold out on getting owt out of this game.
We just can’t win there no matter who we play.

[tigerfeat]

My vision of the game kept sticking on Sunday I saw enough to see we made Hull look a lot better team than they are
I'm not that bothered wether we win or not I don't want to see another performance like Sundays again tho

If that’s true, I wouldn’t have him anywhere near the first team. Rather given mo utes to players who’ll be with us beyond 2020

Exactly. Crazy if he’s off next month and he gets a starting spot.
This is why the club is where it is. We have to be more ruthless.
Tbh though I think Eden will be fullback and Clare/Olpherts wings.

I agree with you both what if he has a great game and wins man of match then following week it's announced he's leaving don't see the point at all
If he's staying that's great play him

Hey, you are correct.
Could have sworn I saw him there.
Now where’s the number for spec savers.
