The answer is shockingly poor.
As always, splash the cash on coaches and players and they are literally in a mess.
Only downside is that Powell will get the bullet soon.
I'm really enjoying his spell in charge there.
Where's DallasMead when you need him?
Don't worry Dallas - next year is definitely your year..... |

| Quote ="Bobtownrhino"What do you expect with Powell in charge - he has the ability to make a combined Saints/ Catalan/ Wigan squad relegation contenders - It always amuses me when Cas fans bleat about what Powell did for Cas - Well other than a minor premiership that no club values the answer is “Feck all”'"
Cas aren't Leeds, Wigan, Wire or Saints. What Powell did with them was massive, overachieving hugely compared to the available resources. Likewise his record at Fev was very good. |

Handley never stays on his wing. |

I get the distinct impression that Rohan smith is going to be the best coach we have had since Tony Smith.

He seems to be able to coach what is in front of him, rather than play to a specific structure and it either works or it doesn't. He seems to be a deeper thinker more than anything else. Also, let's be honest, other than Bluey and BMD there's not that much competition...  |

We’re not about to win the comp anytime soon, but you and I could have had some success with the bunch of players that BMD and Bluey coached. Of course they did very well, but I think Smith is exactly what we need right now, and so was his uncle. I wouldn’t expect BMD or Bluey to develop us more than Rohan will over the next 3 years. |

Always difficult to compare coaches unless they have very close to the same teams. BMD had some great teams and even as someone who found him difficult, its hard to argue he didn't wring the last drop of quality out of the players. Having said that there was zero sign he had even the faintest idea how to rebuild the side. He started the process that saw quality players replaced by numpties, which was carried on by Agar, with a speed bump under Furner. It took a few years to get into this mess, and we've only just started to turn it around.
One thing's for sure, this isn't even close to being Smith's squad. Until we can say that most of the squad is down to him (including retaining players, I'm not talking about signing 17 new ones) we won't be able to judge him properly.

Agreed. Plenty of players obviously on way out so will be good to see what talent (southern hemisphere or otherwise) he can attract
My gut instinct is that he will be a persuasive guy when speaking to agents and potential players
If we got his uncle in behind scenes next year then surely we have a great scenario and the best chances to build the c ok ub back up |
