I'm not sure staying on for one last season. Is wise especially for the club . If he has a other job lined up surely he will be planning for that

Re: Powell going...... : Sat Mar 20, 2021 7:21 am  

Naughty here but any mileage in him coming back to Leeds? Agar to some more senior management role, DP in as head coach...?

Obvs major link would be to Warrington but RL is a strange world.

Might cheer the miserable G1t up a bit

No chance him coming backi wouldnt have thought. He could end up in Union but Wire seems most obvious.

I honestly don’t get this 'super coach' mentality when it comes to Cas and DP. Don’t get me wrong, he’s done well with the limited resources he’s had at the club, but a messiah he isn’t. To me, you judge a coach on what they have won. A LLS and losing every final you’ve ever coached in, isn’t exactly a massive achievement is it?

Maybe it’s just me.

A mate of mine is a Fev fan. When DP left to go to Cas he wasn't overly disappointed. His thoughts were that he can build a good team, play good rugby, but misses the ability to finish it off with silverware. It's followed that course at Cas. Be interesting to see where he ends up. If it is Wire, they need a coach to win things. As we know from experience, there's a skill to coaching a team to win trophies

I think he is a fine coach and clearly improves players. My problem with him is that he is such a sourpuss. When Cas lose it's always somebody else's fault, normally the referee. Find his serial whining tedious.

Wire will play like Tony Smith days if he go's.
They like a good old Leeds coach...!!

Re: Powell going...... : Sat Mar 20, 2021 9:33 am  

A few seasons ago he would have been my first choice but not now that ship as sailed.I think losing the Grand Final hit him hard.From then he seem to change from what i saw as quite a happy and confident coach to miserable moaning one blaming referees after defeats.If he goes to Wire then he will have a decent squad and resources.He showed he can coach a team to play a very exciting brand of rugby.He may even start to look like he's enjoying the job again.

Interested to see how he fares if he does end up with wire. Proper hot seat which should give a true reflection of his ability or lack of

Wane to Warrington, Powell to England
