No you’re not the only one - I think we’re in serious trouble. Toulouse beat Wakey at the weekend and they’re 4 behind us with a game against us. As I posted earlier - we’ve won 2 out of 13 - that’s relegation form. Our defence is pathetic - the first try on Sunday would have embarrassed an under 10s team.

I’ll bet If Powell could get the chance to go back to the pre-season and start again, his first words would be: “I want to come in, not change too much in the way we do things initially, but start to introduce my style once we’ve settled in to the season and I’ve worked out the players. Then over the next 12 months we’ll see who will be the future of the club as we build for a real push in 2023.

Of course this wouldn’t have gone down well with the fans, but it probably would have been a better option (easy to say with hindsight of course). The problem is that Warrington is a pressure situation and immediate results are expected. I think maybe Powell tried too much too quick and expected more from the players. If he survives this season (and personally I’ll be prepared to give him a freebie for 2022 in return for a spectacular 2023) then I expect it will have been a very very hard lesson in coaching.

If he had a time machine I'd hope they'd be a fairly lengthy list of leasons learned:

I need two props minimum
Cherry picking my mates from Cas might not work out
Mental note to self - don't publically humiliate youngsters
If they ask to go home early, say you'll think about it
Re: above, don't think about it but don't mention it
Phone Pricey and ask for a copy of his defence manual

If Ashton is fit and doesn't come back into the team, then I'm joining the Powell Out campaign.

Good heavens if Minikin keeps his spot ahead of Ashton I’ll personally march the fool back to Yorkshire by his ears.

Need to make a correction to this, as Kevin said, he did support widdop on the break to set up Ratchford's try.

Apologies though, it was currie that stuck an arm out for the 2nd try in the first half
