Personally i feel as a club we a complete break from the Applegarth era. This year has been a disaster on the field and like it or not he will always be tainted by that whilst he remains here and Powell needs free reign to bring in the people he wants. We already have someone doing the youth roles he used to so there is no job there for him. The club should shake his hand and wish him the best for the future.

But also i think a clean break would be good for him. His record with youth development will stand him in good stead to get another role elsewhere. He’s coached here for a long time and moving away from Wakey will move him away from his comfort zone and help him develop as a coach, seeing a different way of doing thing will be good for him. I think a change of scenery would do him the world of good.

I've heard that Powell wants to bring Shenton in as his assistant rather than Sheridan ??

That could be interesting!

With York profiting from Halifax's shock defeat I wonder if it's possible for Oli Pratt to return there for the play offs?

What's the difference? Is not that the same as "bent"?

The difference is the interpretation of the rules..
One example being the six again rule
Some sides get caned on it ourselves being one of them. But it’s such a fine line and in my opinion a grey area .
On Friday I thought the sin binning was the correct call. which turned the game in HKRs favour(although we were on the back foot at the time)However the the six again rule seems to be applied to the lesser sides in SL and is a penalty that Kendall applies all to easily in games that he is reffing..

Along with the "golden point" the six again is not a rule a rule that I'm in favour of. I appreciate that it is there to speed the game up, but it is open to such easy abuse as you infer. A penalty seems a more positive decision, although I suppose that is also open to similar mis-use.
There was one instance of blatant obstruction that led to a Rovers try that was seen by most of the crowd yet "missed" by Kendall. Referees are almost untouchable and appear to be answerable to no one. The standard is lower now than anytime.
