Just seen a tweet from League Express columnist Gareth Walker that Daryl Powell WILL be Castleford's new coach. Going to be a difficult season for him, I think. Wonder what made him decide to leave the club where he's had most success at?

Will be announced after Batley match. I'll miss his smiling happy face. I was going to comment on the fact that at least Castleford won't have the opportunity of choking but when the new league format comes into play they may have to attend a relegation type final. At least t-shirt printers in Castleford will be rubbing their hands.

On the outside the club gives out all the right messages but all is not sweetness and light behind closed doors.

I think that's wishful thinking GFB. They have been an outstanding club over the last three years; compared to where they were in the prevailing years.

correct

This seems to follow a certain "investor" around doesn't it?

Powell ! A refreshing, smiling face to brighten up wheldon road. How many players is he going to pinch from fev, they all play with the right attitude for sl

Interesting, at the present time you'd have thought Fev would be a better place to be than Cas.
We shall see.

Sheridan to take over at Fev?

If this is true and Powell does go to Cas then Fev are losing a superb coach in my view. All joking and banter aside you have got to give him a lot of credit for what he has done at Fev regardless of our rivalry with them and obviously other issues. He has taken them to the next level from where they were in terms of performance etc. Good luck to him even if he doesnt like us i say!

Chris Chester!!!!

Was at the rovers ground yesterday with brighouse u13s. I wondered why a lot of the fev players looked gutted, I thought they had just had an hard training session

He's done a better job at Fev than at Fax and Cas tho!

I don't think we should put our eggs in the basket of Fev being in turmoil. We've caught them on the pitch just about, now we need to better them in other areas, make old Faisal throw his toys and go somewhere else!

They are the benchmark right now, we have to raise our game above theirs, not hope they lose moment

I'll ditto this even though I can't for the life in me see what is there for him and how this could be classed as a move up.

Big loss to Fev, yes it would be for any club but they will survive and I'm sure they will attract a lot of interest from some good coaches.

Banter apart, all the best Rovers.

I get the feeling Powell was pushed out at Fev to a degree and left because he was not too happy with certain things. Quality coach who transformed Fev and I am glad to see them where they are now compared to just a couple of years ago before Poweel came in.

Top club and some good people following them like the Overtons, Robin Alan Glenn etc who I am fortunate to know. Each club has idiots including ours. But each club also has people like I have mentioned who love their rugby and club. I hope for them Fev do not go backwards.

One name I am hearing as coach is John Bastian who was Warrington and Leeds Academy coach and played at Fev. Fev like any club are more than one person. And I hope Fev stay strong and continue to be our great rivals in this league as we have seen some fantastic games and the atmosphere is top notch.

John Bastion.

It'll be reight!!!

And its not Chester!

What division are they in ?


Nah, that was just me putting the cat amongst the pigeons ( $hit-stirring in old money ) with the Chezzy rumour



I see your mate Ramma-langa-Ging-dong has another letter printed in the League-weekly today, I don't disagree with his view on this occasion. LOL

Who wrote it for him.

Flipping eck call my biased but as a Fax fan I DO hope Fev go backwards as I want US to be the dominant force in the Championship and top the league with just one or two defeats, come on lets be honest we want us to win things and at the moment Fev are favourites with us a close second, lets hope this knocks them back a bit.

Fev Favourites?? Nah, can't be. It's Sheffield... swifty62 said so a few weeks ago. Or it's Fax... definately, yes that's it... it's Fax!! So many on here have said so..!

It's definayely NOT fev and losing Daryl Powell is an argmageddon type occurence that will send Fev into freefall.
So, inshort, Fev are shieeeeite and def NOT favs!

Whatever happens next at Fev it is in our interest that they remain strong. If the competition isn't strong then how can we further develop and push on if we want to take a step up?

Totally agree, the stronger this league is the less it can be ignored by the rfl and all the lesser sl clubs
