I'll be forever grateful for what he did at Cas but not sure going back is the right thing. He's on a different planet to the 2 dullards from Hull but fear it would end in tears again.

So soon after winning the league in April as well.

Its still their year right?

He will probably end up coaching a Championship side, clubs like Wigoon, Whino's and Stains have ground based structures which he wouldn't be able to significantly change. He was OK at Featherstone and Castleford were he had a lot of control but a "big Club" don't operate like that.

Dire have a problem at a higher level, they need to fix that first otherwise a new coach will encounter similar problems of club structures and character.

Dreadful coach who has shown himself up with how he's responded to defeats in recent months. He's entirely responsible for losing the dressing room. Hopefully no sl team will touch him after that.

That post match interview yesterday was a car crash, 'this is a man's game (well women play it too), and you sort it out'

If you need a coach sacking just ring up Wakefield Trinity.

Yeah his comments after the game signed his own death warrant

Wigan aren't and will not be a Championship club anytime soon and would break the rules if it looked like they were under threat (like the last time).
As for Powell and Warrington, there seems to be a club issue just as much as a coaching issue.
They're a big club with loadsamoney but, they never quite seem to get there, maybe too much inteference from above ?

Losing to Trinity has been the last straw for plenty of coaches through the years. Mind you, they were full value for their win yesterday.
Warrington had comfortably the better squad on paper but, the game isn't played on paper and Wire got their backsides kicked..

Powell could well end up back at Cas, it should be interesting.

Re: Powell Gone : Mon Jul 31, 2023 4:43 pm  

Powell is done at SL level. Unless Cas bring him back (mistake).

Never the right appointment for Warrington. Yesterday’s man, with a history of not winning trophies. Exactly what Warrington didn’t need. They need a proven winner, or someone who’s about to become a winner.

They’ve won one major trophy in the last decade. Completely fallen off from that 2/3 years under Smith when they won trophies on a regular basis.

Lost all momentum as a club.
