I was waiting for a group of CIA to rush in and help him up, then I realised it wasn't Joe Biden.

Some much needed level-headedness on this thread

If you'd given Fergie a year and a half, he'd have been out of a job before arguably the greatest managerial realm at a club. Same with Arteta and numerous others.

So who would you bring in then?

Signed and is playing Minikin, plays Dudson over Bullock, doesn't play Lucas Green, gets rid of the league's best hooker, makes Ratchford captain. I'm not one for knee jerk reactions but if we don't win the GF I want him gone

Can he challenge for a high ball or put pressure on a kicker?

If so, sign him up, just keep him away from the cheerleader girls

Good post.

Hopefully we can deal with this slump. If prolonged, then alarm bells will start to ring. Powell and the squad need to be given chance to respond though.

Going back over 30 years to a different sport to prove your point!! And if you actually want a name, I'll start with Shane Flanagan.

Can anyone argue against any of this?

I could take it if Hull were decent but even by their current mid-table position they were not good. We have six positions that need sorting and I’ll say it again we will NOT be a top drawer side until Ratchford has gone - he is a millstone.

Our next three league games are against the teams currently in 10th, 11th and 8th. We really need to win all three.

That sounds like a good plan, give a new coach 1 year to build a team and 1 year to mould it. If we don't win the GF, then gone.

If we'd applied this logic to Smith, we'd have missed out on our best performing Superleague Season in 2012.

Leagues best hooker ? Didn't know James Roby played for your lot

I also named Arteta. Are you aware that his coaching career started later than 30 years ago?

I used Fergie as an example as it perfectly illustrates the point, given that he is deemed the most successful manager. 30 years ago is irrelevant in the context of the point I'm making.

Should of got rid of Smith far sooner than we did but stop going on about the past. I'm giving him a chance after our worst season in my lifetime but as you say stick with him and he'll be the Fergie of the SL. Best performing team of 2012? We didn't win it. Embarrassing

The self awareness in this particular comment is hilarious....

I'd give up mate... this lot are beyond help...

So you don't use gained knowledge to make decisions? Is every choice you make random?

Mmm maybe it’s you that’s not self-aware there??

So at what point do you stop calling people morons who want Powell out considering they’ve played gash last half dozen games despite scraping some lucky wins?He keeps saying he’ll fix it like todays after match excuses but it’s getting worse not better.Half that team should be nowhere near a Wire shirt and he’s the one picking the team.The day of him smiling taking selfies at Catalans are distant memories and for me lose to Hudds next week and Wigan in the cup and he should go and if that makes me a moron so be it.

Arteta will never win a championship, and neither will Powell. Next argument daryl?

I put my rubbish out on Friday and it was collected and taken away. Looks like the binmen have missed a few houses in this week's round.

Can't be d - waste of time.

Great minikin did not pick himself. Nor did he sign himself. Its not his fault he's garbage. But Darryl Powell obviously thinks he's a super league standard player. For that reason alone he should be relieved of his duties.

When that statement is wrong you can come back to prove me wrong mate. I might be dead by then though

Answer the above post? Do you think Daryl will win a GF? He has a gimme of a season here where everyone (bar Catalans who will win it) are average and yet he’ll struggle to make the top six despite a dream start.

Yes we beat Catalans twice but from now they will be a distant dream.
