Dear GazWire,

You don't have a right to reply, and I didn't think your question worthy of one anyway. But since you ask, my sanctimonious comment was made in reaponse to a flurry of comments that seemed to think the Catalans result whitewashed everything the came before it, was undeniable proof that Powell was a genius, that a corner had been irrefutably turned and the charge to Old Trafford was underway - and that anyone urging caution was just sone lame old curmudgeon.

Regards Moz


Once again, making things up: a few people had a pop at people for their impatience. I can't recall anyone implying remotely that Powell was a genius and some including myself thought we may have turned a corner - but certainly not irrefutably. I think you sometimes get over excited with your own hyperbole and miss the true content of what some posters are actually communicating.

What was worth remarking on, in terms of a change in posture after the Catalans defeat, was the numbers of switchers from Powell out to Powell in. Only for this to switch again the following week. You sometimes need to be more receptive to posts outside your agenda, and perhaps you'll be less likely to misrepresent.

This is a club who kept Steve Price for 2 more years than they should have. No way Powell is sacked this season. The club is currently tweeting about buying hoodies.

Powell trying to offset his lack of coaching ability by signing more and more players. I don't think theyre your answer to be honest.

I watched that preseason meet Powell had with your players, god it was dreadful, how anyone could be inspired by him I don't know.

Saints sacked a coach who has a statue of himself outside their ground for much less than what Powell is currently doing but apparently everything will be ok next season. Sack him, sack him today!! He is coaching the attack and defence and it's the worst I've ever seen

Re: Powell OUT : Sat Jul 23, 2022 11:08 am  
Considering we were playing a much depleted HKR ,we should really have kicked on from our early lead ,but allowed HKR back in the game . We should have won that game but once the penalties & handling errors crept in it was curtains for us. Danny McGuire's men had a better game plan & played for 80 minutes. There is obviously a lack of confidence in the squad now but if the season is to be saved we need to seriously address handling mistakes & find an 80 minute game plan. Front foot rugby should be the order of the day.

[quote="WireWireWire"]This man could well lead us to losing the title of being one of only, 3 is it? Teams to have never played a season outside of the top flight of our sport and some people are still bleating on about him getting a fair crack. HE'S HAD IT. Get him out the door now.

We are the ONLY team, never to have played in a lower division.

I have been a supporter for over 60 years, this is one of the worst seasons I can remember. We have been very poor before, but I still had a belief then that we wouldn't be relegated, but to be honest I cannot say with any confidence, that we are staying up this year.

That Hull KR team would have been trounced by every SL club bar Wakefield last night.
Yet another damming result. The lack of weight going forward and the lack of defensive organisation sickens me.
Quite simply this team is playing worse than that of Steve Anderson’s era.

We have a 2 win cushion and points favoured on Wakey, we’ve six games to go…we’ve four games if things stay as they are to be more but for mathematics safe.
I’m no longer looking Wire wins, as I can see any coming, I’m looking at a Wakefields fixtures to see how hard it is for them to catch us up.

Re: Powell OUT : Sat Jul 23, 2022 11:38 pm  
By the way, we can compare 2/3 of a season against Smith and Price.

Smith after 20 games - 11 Wins (23-22 Average Score)
Price after 20 games - 13 Wins (23-18 Average Score)
Powell after 20 games - 7 Wins (20-24 Average Score)

I do agree that he should get another season, provided we stay up. Since he will have no excuses next season as it will be near enough his full imprint.

But you can definitely compare his time to others.

Great stats because Price and Smith were also doing a complete overhaul of culture and players.

How many times are people going to state that complete overhaul was not needed to change the culture and remove the "bad apples" (how many are now actually convinced there were bad apples now)
He'll. I don't even think we needed a culture change. It ment butchering the club.
I'm pretty sure that we just wanted a few tweaks here and there to move us onto the next level. To dove us the drive to succeed.

Now we are in a relegation dog fight. And that's rhe cold hard truth. No more butchering. No more playoff talk. This is serious. this is as close to 2002 as relegation dog fights go.

I don't care about overhauls gazwire. I care about this club and not being relegated over something that in all fairness. Didn't need to happen to such a extent.
I ask again. Who bins off and forces out the top try scorer of the club this season. (And possibly the whole of superleague at that point) mid season? It was funny at the time. Not so much now.

There is a change needed now. And you seem the only one blind enough to back the coach. I myself backed Powell. Friday was enough and the tipping point.
