Could the critical & confrontational atmosphere on the forum have been tempered by the club announcing ,on Powell's appointment that his remit was to strip the squad back to basics & rebuild in the mode of DP ? Or would that have hit season ticket sales ?

Well it will certainly hit season ticket sales for next year.....and by the time the Powell's 3 year plan comes to fruition in 2024 the club will make a fortune because there will be minimal season ticket sales and everyone will be paying full price on the door on matchday, just like I did this year for the games I was able to attend....

Is Warrington too big of a club for Powell?
Is the like of Cas within his depth?

Powell did a similar hatchet job and did a mass clear-out at Leeds.

When he had done all the dirty work, Hetherington sacked him too and appointed Tony Smith.

Some bosses are good at hatchet jobs but less successful at building winning teams, rugby or business.
Other bosses are successful at building good teams but poor at hatchet jobs.
Looks like Hetherington, who knows Powell very well, decided on the first option.
Will Warrington?

my real worry is the old “the operation was a TOTAL success, unfortunately the patient died.”

I still think Powell is the right man for the job, and believe he has the right players next year.
My belief and positivity will keep me warm through a cold cold Winter

Great idea, a portion of Ready Brek and dose of delusion is the obvious panacea for rising heating bills.

BTW I'm only jesting OT I hope that your optimism is well founded and will wait till next year for my thoughts on Powell.

To be fair (and I don’t believe I’m saying this) but Rubber Duckie is right, packs win games. The money invested and not just the sheer size, but the experience brought in, we should bully our way into the top 6 (anything less is an abject failure), and if we can get any kind of system where Williams and Dufty get some good ball in space we could find ourselves in the mix by sheer dumb luck.

If we have a miraculous defensive improvement, find a kicking game and can get the ball to Ashton in space, we might even have something to look forward to.

Still, I’ll be saving my season ticket money this year. Invest it in memory loss juice instead…

i dunno, i've questioned the Hull Fc mythical pack on here lots, their results have kinda proved me correct. i think there's a bit more to it than just big bodies.

we could do with come back rowers that tackle for the big bodies up front
