Re: Powell OUT : Thu Jun 22, 2023 8:26 am  

In my view he is a rubbish centre, and definitely worse as a 6 and in the pack (where his grabby tackling is really exposed). I have deliberately stayed off here and the WG site until yesterday. The only interview i have read is the one where DP defended PM in the light of public criticism. Hence my post. If he has public ally criticised other players and not PM then that sheds a different light on it.
Certainly he (DP) seems to have a blind spot as far as PM is concerned and reading between the lines it looks like he is being reinforced by Sheridan’s views.
I agree that R Dean would have been hooked from the pitch fairly early doors had he made similar mistakes.
Perhaps Powell is trying to protect what remains of the leadership group given the Maguire debacle.
Presumably he will double down and select skippy at 6 again assuming Drinkwater isn’t fit.

I think his public flogging of some players - particularly young ones is one of the most disappointing things about Powell. Of course Powell will know which players need an arm round then and which need a kick etc.....but the kicking should always be done in private IMO. I could be wrong but I don't think you'd ever find/found Wane doing that to one of his young players.

Holbrook sacked by the Titans.

Any takers?

We wouldn't act quick enough to secure Holbrook even if there was a mindset to change

You'd be mad not to. Same with Leeds, Huddersfield and even Wigan. He'd improve not only the team at any of those clubs, but the club itself. He did some outstanding work with us that set us up for 10 years, nevermind the next two or three. I can't imagine he'll be unemployed for long.

Elite coach. Would change the culture for the better throughout our club hence why it will never happen.

I'd be an unreal rugby player if people weren't there trying to stop be being one.
