Maybe he thinks the 2 young props rumoured to be signing and Dan Fleming will be enough ? Time will tell.

Considering that they will be up against packs that Sts, Wigan, Hull and Leeds have already have that’s a marker for DP to consider when making his signings

If we don't replace the 3 forwards with quality additions that are leaving who would get in our match day 17 when fit then it is just hot air from Powell.
We will have no chance of competing at the top end of the table.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they dropped him after a few week when they see how lazy he is.

His game doesn’t suit Catalans. They expect their forwards to be aggressive and base their game on bullying the opposition forwards. McMeeken just doesn’t do that.

Maybe McNamara will instill it into him.
Maybe new surrounding, new team mates. Different regime could give him some fire in his belly.

Or it could go the other way, he as a small child with I believe another on the way. Could he become home sick, especially if family can’t travel to see the young family.

It all remains to be seen.

Was he a free agent or did we get a fee for him

Would love to see anyone who calls Mcmeekan, or any rugby player, a princess to their face. It’s the most physical sport around and, those who tend to make such comments have probably never played the game to understand how tough it is.

Yes, his performance level dropped from 2017 but he put his body on the line every game he played

He went missing far too much in the tight matches when the rough part of the game is needed. Reckon Blair or Griffin will be an improvement. Cas did right to get rid and not be held to ransom over his wages.

And I’m certain lots of fans would like a 121 with players before it gets to the stage of frustration to explain what they see.

Mike went missing far too much for my liking.

I know how tough the game is thanks, possibly played more than you and currently walking like a baboon due to ongoing back and knee injuries. And yes - mental toughness is just as prevalent in RL Players, unfortunately some more than others like in all walks of life.
Kind regards

Goes hiding when we're in the grind during games. If we are losing disappears into back play, stands about with his hands on his hips, doesn't run the ball in. Wants all the glory but doesn't want to do the hard graft for it. Different story when we're on the flip side of the coin when we're winning. Two different players.

Exactly what I said pal. Great in 2017 when we were hammering teams. Disappointing since.

Reckon Blair will be his replacement, not fast enough for a centre but played well in the 2nd row.
