Enough about Powell
Re: Enough about Powell
Any other job, you would be put on garden leave, if you were going to a competitor. Where does Cas finish and Wire begin in his life right now. Obviously can”t sit back and let things take care of themselves. Different for Radford as he’s not in work and able to do deals without affecting anyone.
I for one wasn’t as overjoyed as most people when Powell signed his last contract (and before anyone says anything), I’m not just saying that now because he is leaving, but I honestly felt it was a contract too many (as it was for some of the players). Top teams like Saints and Wigan don”t have coaches for 6 & 7 years, it’s 3 or 4 tops. They continue to develop and evolve.
The situation is ridiculous now, and yes we are in a semi-final, but let’s put it in perspective, we have beaten 2 of the lower ranked SL sides and taken us GP to do it. We aren”t playing well, but are just managing to get over the line. What is wrong? with that I hear, but for me Powell should go now, before he completely undoes all the the good things he has done in his time at the club.

Re: Enough about Powell
In terms of perspective there is also an 80% win record in the league with third place and the only defeat away at the team in 2nd place in a game that went the distance.
Re: Enough about Powell
With 3 of those wins again sides in the bottom 4. Leeds, Salford, Leigh. Let me be clear here we can only beat what is in front of us, and on paper it’s a good start, but let’s not get carried away. Powell has to go before it’s too late and we can start to plan life with out him.Tamworth Tiger wrote: ↑12 May 2021, 00:32 In terms of perspective there is also an 80% win record in the league with third place and the only defeat away at the team in 2nd place in a game that went the distance.
Re: Enough about Powell
Agree Ronnie it was a mistake the club made there was more than enough time to get a new coach in before the season started
We should have gone out the cup at HKR now we have every chance of getting to Wembley that would be great for everybody but it dosnt alter the fact the correct decision would have been to get rid of Powell in the winter

Re: Enough about Powell
Is Rugby League unique in sport, by announcing during the season that a player (or coach!) will be leaving for another club at the end of the season? E.g. Danny Orr carrying on playing for Cas after announcing he will be going to Wigan.
I certainly can't remember it happening in football.

Re: Enough about Powell
Footballers coming out of contract can sign a pre-contract agreement with another club from 1st January in the year their deals end. However, I believe this only applies if moving to another country.Johnny A wrote: ↑12 May 2021, 08:47 Is Rugby League unique in sport, by announcing during the season that a player (or coach!) will be leaving for another club at the end of the season?

Re: Enough about Powell
Maybe, but we are where we are and I don’t want another performance like the one we had when Raper upped sticks to Wigan mid season.tigerfeat wrote: ↑12 May 2021, 08:36 Agree Ronnie it was a mistake the club made there was more than enough time to get a new coach in before the season started
