You can have the worlds worst dressing room culture and attack and defend better than this. There are no more excuses - that whole disaster tonight was down to coaching and poor selections. He’s not just a bad coach he’s a stubborn one too, unless removed we will be relegated.

Re: Powell OUT : Fri Jul 22, 2022 11:23 pm  

Cas seem to have got a LOT better since Powell left. Says it all really. The players are the same(bar the bad eggs that have been shown the door)so either price is a good coach or Powell is a bad one. Answers on a postcard to Mr. S. Middleton.

The only reason the culture is a problem is because Powell says it is!

The Emporer will no doubt pick out one of the young players as being at fault for tonight's miserable defeat, seems to be his modus operandi.

Feel sorry for Nicholson.....left a team 2nd in SL coz he couldn't get a game, then joins a team who will currently be delighted to simply stay in SL, and still can't get in the team.

wtf?

Re: Powell OUT : Fri Jul 22, 2022 11:39 pm  

The INCESSANT inclusion of Holmes (and to a degree Currie) when we have Nicholson is just inept. How can you continue to pick someone who has been terrible for 16 games that he has played in? How? No coach in any team sport would be this stubborn surely? The worst he has received was to be dropped to the bench, that in itself is creating a rotten culture.

That's right, we've been excellent for many years and it only went wrong when Powell came in. We we're so unlucky in those 3 consecutive 1st round knockouts and myself personally, would pay money to see King come back so we can enjoy the thrilling punt on the 5th.

Re: Powell OUT : Fri Jul 22, 2022 11:45 pm  

If Powell is the man for the long term, the silence from the club is letting him down hugely.

If the club was in such a shocking state, where this season has been justifiable, then the club should admit to the failings of those who came before Powell and those who appointed and oversaw those failings.

That said, the excuses have ran out. The only legacy players tonight were Clark, Currie and Walker. Clark and Currie have consistently been picked to start. The rest are Powell’s men.

I so desperately want you to be right, as a fan of the club, and I hope Powell is the mastermind that you have in your head. Although, I can sense even you are running out of steam and excuses, now solely reaching for sarcasm.

If it is so bad, why have previous coaches not taken such action? I know some of the players that Powell is trying to move on are not bad apples. Time will be our judge.

You can be as sarcastic as you like, but we’ve gone from finishing third and having one of the best defences in the league, to being an absolute shambles and in a relegation scrap.

Underachievers or not these last few years, the regression in this team and this club this past twelve months is nothing short of a disgrace and whether you like it or not the coach of the team, who has full control of the team across the board, should be taking some, if not most of the responsibility for its performances.
