Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
If we want anything out of this season Powell et al should see their contracts out, show some passion and pride and some quality rugby not walk away with a busted legacy and their tails between their legs.
Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
At moment i'm either way with this powell could go after final and let lee look at players overs next 11 games and see who he wants to keep but also now final gone and players don't need wrapping in cotton wool will he play this team week in week out and try and get them to reproduce semi form and 1st 60 mins of final effort each week. Currently we have 11 games left probably need 7 to 8 wins to make the 6, can powell use this final loss (once again had no luck on day) to motivate these players for an end of season run in, we have seen before it's the teams who come into play offs on form who seem to win it and surely with a lot of squad not playing much rugby this year if and that's a big if. were there about our players may just have advantage of not playing so much rugby this season

Absolutely this twice overheritage1926 wrote: ↑18 Jul 2021, 17:27 Getting rid of Powell now will cost us and he certainly won't walk. He 100% deserves to bow out at the end of the season in front of a packed house to give him the send off his 8 years service has deserved.

Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
Aye add to the list Feki for 2 years on big money and a huge part of Powell's plans. Benny Roberts for a lot of the time.cogito ergo sum wrote: ↑18 Jul 2021, 17:40Correct..heritage1926 wrote: ↑18 Jul 2021, 17:27 Getting rid of Powell now will cost us and he certainly won't walk.

One of the biggest factors since 2017 has been injuries. We lost Luke Gale for at least a year out of his last 18 months. Junior and Olly had long spells off. Feki was a big signing and hasn’t figured. We lost Hardacre and Denny in controversial circumstances etc etc. Yet we were better than competitive and thought of ourselves as a top 4 club. All this from the quicksand of 2013.
Trueman for most of this year.
Evalds possibly needs surgery but will play out season if poss.
It has been a nightmare. I know they all have it at every club but we have some shockers.

Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
After coming to terms with losing, I would also like to thank Daryl for getting us to where we are today. Apart from Stuart Raper, which coach (in recent times) has ever got us to compete with the favoured money teams on a regular basis & playing good rugby to boot as well?Horsifer wrote: ↑17 Jul 2021, 20:38I'd also like to thank Mr Powell, who along with others such as Steve Gill have worked tirelessly to save a team almost on the brink of collapse into a team that has played consistently at a much higher level than they have for many years. His efforts have upheld and honed the style of play that we are synonymous with and made us contenders. I am saddened by some of the comments on here. I will welcome Mr Radford and be 100% behind him. I will also thank Mr Powell for all he has done for us.LeeThorpe898 wrote: ↑17 Jul 2021, 17:07 Thanks so much Mr Powell for making my season ticket a complete waste of money. Watching weakened teams every week for the challenge cup. I especially loved last sunday watching Salford put 70 past us. And now im in Wembley watching saints completely outclass us. Please get out of our club and bring this joke of a situation to an end.
If we are all honest, we were eventually beaten by a better team yesterday. We showed tremendous character to come back & lead after being battered for 20 mins which ultimately took its toll in the 2nd half. The unbelievable call from CK that Percival didn’t knock on was an embarrassment to the game (BN on BBC was the only one who had the balls to nearly say that) & ultimately changed the game. If not given, we may have rallied, went further ahead & therefore put pressure on Saints. Didn’t happen & from that minute on we were a beaten team.
I for one was proud of the boys yesterday, the effort was incredible. Most of us could hardly stand in that heat never mind play a sport in it. We lack a bit of real class in a couple of positions to get us over the line & hopefully Lee can up with the solutions there. Shame Daryl couldn’t win us one of the big 2 (especially him being a Cas lad) but I for one salute him & thank him & whenever struggling think back to the Millward/Steady etc days.
One last thing, I hated Jon Wilkin when he played but despise him even more when he’s on the panel. Somebody shoot him please.
We move on

Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
I agree about John St Helens Wilkin . Pompous, swallowed a dictionary but didn’t read what the words mean, and totally biased.

Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
Yeah totally agree mate might aswell keep Powell till the end of the season and hopefully salvage something out of the league. And with Radford he's already made some decent signings in Westman and Mamo and maybe some more to come. Plus he's has final winning experience so yes think he'll do very well when he takes over.heritage1926 wrote: ↑19 Jul 2021, 09:31 I don't see what Radford can do any different with this current side than what Powell is doing. We've a good 6/7 lads, maybe more, who are playing busted and I'd imagine now the final is over, a few of them may end up on long term sick.
You just know for a fact that if Radford was to come in now and we still carry on like we are, the same folk asking for Powell's head will be then questioning if Radford is the right man for the job. In simple terms, damned if we do, damned if we don't.
It's neither fair on Powell or Radford to come in half way and try and clean up the mess that this season is and DP deserves to go out on his terms.
Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
The key thing for me when Radford takes over will be if he can cut down on the endless stream of injurys we've had over the last three or four years during the season and the off season if he can do that im satisfied we will have a team that can win a major trophyheritage1926 wrote: ↑19 Jul 2021, 09:31 I don't see what Radford can do any different with this current side than what Powell is doing.

Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
Well I'll try and get this back on track by saying Powell will probably stay til the end of the season and will be allowed to do so as long as we try to compete.
I was always against putting all our eggs in the CC basket but I hope he (DP) now realises the season lasts, well, all season and having thrown league points away, he needs to make sure the strongest team possible plays every week and plays to the best of their ability.

Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
If we’d have been hammered and embarrassed at Wembley I’d say he needs to go now. We didn’t though, we played our part in one of the best Challenge Cup finals for a number of years, in my opinion, and produced one of the best tries Wembley has seen in the modern era. We also bought the Lance Todd back with us. No, we didn’t bring back the cup but Powell and the team gave me one of the best days out I’ve had watching Cas for a long time. For me he stays and we give him the send off he deserves for bringing us out of the Millward dross and making us a team that regularly competes in the top half of the table. When he does leave though, I won’t be wishing him luck as he’ll be just another opposition coach then at a team I want us to beat.
Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
I wouldn't be so patient with them Spanish Tiger. Perhaps a spell in the forum wilderness for a while might be the only way to make some people think before they type offensive comments aimed at other individuals.Spanishtiger wrote: ↑19 Jul 2021, 14:22 Thanks for wasting half an hour of my time to clean up this thread.

Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
I agree but last year we finished 9th and this year we're on track for more of the same. Hope we can sort ourselves out now til end of season and at least be in the top half of the table. Also you're right we weren't hammered but that second half I thought was poor tbh. You can argue it changed after that shoddy VR decision but even then we looked lazy when we'd only been back on the field 2 minutes. My takeaway from the game was that our halves often go missing, our forwards stepped up but our backs didn't, and that when we want to we can score a beauty of a tryderbystiger wrote: ↑19 Jul 2021, 17:31 If we’d have been hammered and embarrassed at Wembley I’d say he needs to go now.

Re: POWELL OUT!!!!!!
The pride was there for all to see.
So annoyed with myself for not being there last night,l had no excuse other than lack of faith.
I hope we are allowed on the pitch after the last home game of the season.
If we are l hope if it is the case people act sensibly
