We don't need money men as we have them already thank god. What we need is strong leadership from the top down and we are a million miles from that and we need a strong coach with the ability to manage change once a game starts.

When DP took over he talked about building a Dynasty. Have to say the last 2 weeks has felt more like watching Knots Landing.

Knots Landing was a Dallas spinoff.

Yes. There were any number of American melodramas I could have used. From a rhetorical point of view going with Dynasty twice seemed to reduce the whimsy. Ah well. Back to the drawing board.

you have to be realistic... he has called out the 'bad culture' and now has a host of senior players on the way out.... they will be toxic and are probably a very big cause of this pathetic, clueless rugby.

you cant call for the head of someone brought in to do a rebuild, when he hasnt had a chance to do it yet.

if we are this bad this time next season, then yea.... but not now.

I didn’t realise this was from 2022.

DP doesn’t read SM… doesn’t believe in it.

Also says PM is class and he’ll continue to back him whichever position he plays.

Talk about burying your head in the sand!

He would be very aware of the social media reaction to Peanut, and he saw the calamitous performance and error as we all did.
He can’t shy away from it.
The club have bolted the hatches atm. Very little coming out since Sunday…and I can’t hardly blame them.

Said it before, will say it again. PM will be Powell's downfall.

He's obviously not going to say anything different in an interview but to blindly back a player in any position is a bit dumb imo.

One would hope, now wrench is back, powell would follow up his approach to last year, dropping charnley, giving youth a chance, well he can do that now with matautia
