That's why the coaches rate him so highly, some fans tend to only see the "eye catching" plays. His work rate is immense, and you always need one or two of that type of player in your team.
I have always liked Powell and agree in regard his workrate it is first class. He is also tough and quite often puts his head where others won't. My issue with him though is given how important the 9 is, no player has his hands on the ball more, does he have the genuine quality and craft around the ruck to take us to the level of where we aspire to be.
He has shown glimpses over the seasons but not consistently. Big year for him, but a positive start to it so far.
