I agree wholeheartedly with those wondering what has changed since the opening 7 games. Say what you will about the standard of teams we played, then and now we look like two totally different teams in every aspect.

Something has gone awry in the dressing room. At the start of the season our resolve, goal-line defence and spirit was massive - I must admit I was astonished at the change.

Now we are back to 2022. Poor body language, flimsy defence and no team ethic.

For those that have Wire TV has anyone noticed that the video "Powell’s verdict on Cas defeat" has been pulled

Was there anything controversial in it or the same old same old?

Next 4 games.

Leeds.
Saints
Wigan.
Wakefield.

Sky have not announced who's on sky that week. But we are on tv for the next 3 weeks now. We are on full public display. The knives are out. I should be saying to right the ship. Nothing less than 4 out of 4 will be sufficient. But, i know that's not gonna happen. I don't know what the answer is.

We could easily be going into the Wakefield game having won 1 of the last 8 games and losing 5 on the bounce. Lose against Wakefield and his position would be untenable even for the super fans.

Please don't give KF any more ideas.

John Kear has been sacked by Widnes. We usually get someone suggesting he should be our next coach at least once a season, so let's get that over with.

He was being linked with Leeds as a DOR role a few weeks ago

Re: Powell OUT : Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:54 pm  

One aspect that baffles me here is statistical analysis of player data, and apparent lack thereof.

As a coach at a professional club, Powell should have data on every facet of every players performance in training and games at his fingertips.

Analysis of such data most definitely is part of his and his coaches teams responsibilities.

So, on the assumption that such analysis takes place, can we expect Dudson (15 metres, 4 drives v Cas) to be dropped? If not, why not? It's not the first time his stats have been appaling.

If something has gone wrong in the dressing room maybe the lopsided, undroppable nature of some performances in the face of damning evidence might be a cause.
