Absolutely not offers nothing in attack, would rather play Mcnamara at 9.


Would you actually though? What does McNamara offer from 9 that Powell doesn't?

Jack Ashworth and Liam Tindall are not going to sell passes when we are losing players like Satae and Swift. Although we have improved, we are still 9th in the table, which is poor. This squad isn't good enough, with good players leaving, they need to be replaced with better players

You don’t know that :CRAZY:

He’s only played about 10 minutes at hooker and already you are writing him off :WALL:

At present, you can say Powell is a better hooker than McNamara, McNamara might develop into a good hooker in the future but currently he's played very little there and for most of the season has been behind houghton and Dwyer in the pecking order

Re Powell I just don’t see him as an answer to our hooker needs or the calibre of player to improve us. Fir me Powell would just be a short term fix which seems to go against what TS plans are in terms of recruitment.

We really need to add some quality in to the squad for next season. It’s something we’ve been lacking and the poor recruitment since the likes of Ellis,Manu & Mini retired has certainly seen us fall behind the top 4 which exasperated the issue with the standard of coach during the past 5 years.

Is McIllorum OOC at Catalans as well?

Only way I could see us going for someone like Powell is if Houghton decides to retire. Maybe a short term fix?

Also depends on what is available from the NRL (or more likely the Qld Cup), and what other spots we need filling.

Uncle Tony doesn’t seem to be the type to rush into hasty decisions.

The French player who appeared as A Trialist, looks a big lad and a bit of a handful.
Just googled him on Youtube and his highlights reel is encouraging, albeit against lower standard opponents. Maybe worth a punt, but it would help to maintain the positivity , after a few depressing months, if we could announce somebody for 23/24. I know the fans have no divine right to know anything, but our communication to the fans and passholders is sometimes a bit on the slow side, unless some will be announced when pass renewals come around, but Tindall and Ashurst aren't exactly mouth watering acquisitions, for me , anyway.
I think we will have a plan, which will include the young guns, for next season but at the same time, I reckon ninth is about where this squad truly are, in comparison to other clubs, with Huddersfield a glaring standout. They seem to be signing aging players, for the sake of it but I don't blame them for going in for Swift, he is a very good winger and pair him up with Connor and he'd have a field day.

Powell, while not being a great player, will bring the right attitude and aggression we need. The Wigan mentality is renowned and can only help us as we aspire to replicate that. Wouldn't have minded Leeming- he is a very good hooker and has all Dwyer's good attributes, along with a decent kicking game and creativity.
