From a Trinity fan in peace
There’s some good reasoned posts on here about Powells time at wire..

You got off to an absolute stormer at the start of the season…Any reasons as to why the dip in form just came out of the blue and why it was he seemed unable to pull it back?

I'd suggest the Josh McGuire issues and the divide they caused in the camp which he couldn't heal (and in truth probably exist to this day). Something for Sam Burgess to try to resolve.

It depends what you mean by the mcguire issues, if you look at the season as a whole, our purple patch came to an end after he returned to the side he came back to the catalans game, we lost z many middles due to injury and suspension and going back to oz, he wasn't much cop on field, then the second leigh incident occured.

Poor form getting the first suspension, poor form on the pitch post-suspension, incredibly poor form getting a second ban.

Divisions in the playing squad as a result of his alleged actions in getting the two bans.

Nightmare from start to finish which it appeared couldn't be resolved by the coaching staff.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong but I suspect not.
