Daryl Powell went straight in at the deep end at Leeds and after being replaced by Tony Smith he dropped down to coach in the Championship. After taking over at Cas he has proved himself to be a fine coach after gaining experience without the spotlight and expectation that comes when coaching at SL level. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but maybe KC should have been given more time as assistant to experienced coaches at Saints (or he could have dropped down a division as head coach).

Still think the top 3 will be any combination of the current top 3. Saints will be in the semi final.
