There’s no doubt his time at Cas tailed off and his spell at Warrington was nothing short of a disaster. So he’ll be coming to us with plenty to prove which could be a good thing. Thats if he still has the hunger and he’s not just he’s a busted flush these days! Either way he can’t be any worse than Applegarth. No doubt he’ll want to bring his usual entourage with him so i guess Sean Longs stay will be a short one.

If true he is on his way ,think there will be a lot of younger players,who are going to want to buy into Powells, high standard ,to improve . Think he is the kind of Coach who will put time in to find them and bring them to the club Must admit beginning to look forward to next year Be good to see us win more matches. S L is for about 6 clubs, and think it will get down to the same 3 or 4 who will win every thing

Go and talk to Cas and Warrington fans and you’ll find the exact opposite is true. He nearly always favours experienced players over giving younger ones a chance, it was a major frustration for both of his previous clubs.

Different brief from the board perhaps, eitherway we seem to develop players them lose them just as they start to show promise, or it certainley seems like that has happened over the past few years. I thought Applegarth would be strong on playing our younger players but only seemed to do this when he didn't have another option.

I think he struggles with dealing with egos/high profile players.

I think he would be good for us on a 3 year cycle with Mash hopefully being retained as one of his assistants.

Hopefully not.

Not sure how I feel on this if he's appointed. Time will tell
