Arlie......Could really be on for 3 reasons

1) Welsh rugby has fallen out of love with Powell, who was seen as a superstar a few years back - His mad-cap antics off the field plus hes struggling with his form for Cardiff and Wales. He is also seen not to be earning his mega-bucks salary anymore

2) Powell does move from club to club every few years and so a move wouldn't worry him. Hes played in France as well ( and England ) .

3) Brian Noble has said he feels Powell would do the business in league. Widnes tried to sign Powell years ago when he first came on the scene (He used to play for my club, Newport when he first started and was incredible running with ball )

(( also my mate's a rugby journalist in Wales and he feels all the signs point to Powell moving ))

Latest I have heard is that Powell had a heart to heart with Dai Young - Cardiff coach - who said Powell would be first in line for his favourite No 8 position next season.

Now lets see if Gatland picks Powell for welsh summer tour. Thing is Powell does has another year left on his contract
