I assume Radford would jump at the chance to get in at Cas early, given he’s not currently working, and there seem to be a fair few disgruntled fans darn t’lane at Cas.

If - given the opportunity - would you get Powell to come in early, or would you rather wait and let Price try and finish the job he started?

It doesn't really matter what we want, powell will see out his contract and so will Price.
But if i had to choose i'd just keep Price as We're playing really well at the minute

There are rumours on the Cas dial up internet that Powell has left Cas. Unconfirmed of course at this stage.

Surely it was a fax or maybe a telex

I'd rather have Powell come in now.

We're playing quite well at the moment but I still don't have any faith in Price's ability to win a GF.

Yeah, cos Powell has a great track record in finals.

Powell this year? No thanks. Price will leave this club having won both major trophies, he's going to have a tough act to follow.

No.

If I’d thought it would make a difference I’d say yes…but I don’t.

No, disrespectful to Price plus why do we think Powell will be able to make us into a champion team by coming in at this stage of the season? Would be a senseless move and is unfair to Powell too imo

Not on 2021 maybe, but we have a World Cup at the end of the year. So it’s possible Ratchford, King, Williams , Widdop, Cooper, Clark and Currie will have a very short offseason to work with a new coach before the season starts in 2022…

It's a no from me. I'll welcome Powell once this season is over.

I’m pretty split to be honest hence the question.

I think if he did, the time he could spend with the players before the end of season could prove invaluable to 2022 preparations. But maybe coming in under a cloud of the challenge cup loss and a poor season to date may put him on the back foot with fans.

I’m sure Price would like to stay to the end of the year and see his season out, he may not have had the success we all may have wanted, but he’s a good genuine bloke and I don’t doubt he hasn’t given this his all. He deserves to go out under his own terms.

The response to this question should be quite alarming. The guy we’re trying to portray as a big signing, isn’t wanted immediately as he’s seen as a sideways/backwards move to a guy who has delivered a mediocre return in his tenure.

hmm, i can see the merits of it, us booting pricey out isn't our way though, whether he'd like an earlier dart to get his kids back through quarentine in time for the start of the new school year, perhaps.

Probably aint gonna happen though

It's a no from me

I don't think it's a great idea TBH it's a bit disrespectful and it's not as if we are languishing outside the play off places and out of touch. Also anything that Powell achieved good or bad would always be with Price's team....

Professional sport is performance based and coaches are ultimately judged on silverware Fresh Start Fresh Ideas No Excuses

No point changing horses mid stream. Potential disruption outweighs “new coach bounce” in my view.

It's a no from me.

I concur with Alffi`s comments regarding possible World Cup disruptions for 7 of our starting 13 totally disrupting Powell`s preseason preparations.

With such a large number of players missing for a large chunk of preseason, then it will be very difficult for the new coaching staff to get their message across and impose major changes to our style of play.

If our form at the end of this season is problematic like 2020, then I would welcome Powell to the fold early, to give him more scope with our players.

I wish you would take him now. Can’t wait for the new era under Radford to start. Fresh ideas and new players. Powell has taken us as far as he can. Just don’t expect too much Warrington fans. His record in finals is abysmal.

Just read that back to yourself

Abysmal in semifinals, is far worse than abysmal in finals. If Powell puts us in a position to fix the first part, he can work on his failure.

A lot of people here clearly have no hope that we'll win a trophy with Powell, even though his appointment seemed fairly popular.

He's 0-3 in terms of finals for Cas I think, but the whole thing needs to be taken in context. Beaten by a very experienced Leeds team in 2014 challenge cup final after Powell only joined in 2013 is a decent effort. 2017 significantly the best team in the comp, Hardaker screwed your chances against, again, a very good Leeds team in the grand final. Saints last week were always going to be favourites and it played out that way, he may have made a mistake going in to it a bit cold, but a game v Huddersfield was called off by Hudds not Cas I think?

A time comes for all coaches to move on (See Tony Smith and how he is now doing with Hull KR), and I can understand the frustrations in this case given how it was announced and players following the manager is always going to raise issues - seems quite a toxic situation now.

I think overall Powell has done well at Cas and will be given better playing budget and facilities at Warrington - hopefully he can go a step further. Be interesting to see how Radford goes at Cas, whether he turns you guys in to a Hull FC mark II or whether he builds on what is already at Cas. I don't rate him as highly as Powell but he does have two cup wins under his hat...
