You ever heard that phrase, you can't get rid of all the players, easier to get rid of the manager?
Well this year, you're seeing the opposite, the manager can't get rid of a lot of the players, that's partially what's making ppl uncomfortable, we're just not used to this.
I didnt want Powell in the first place, but I don't think we're gonna get relegated (refs will help us at some point) so I'm sticking with him in the rebuild

What have the Powell supporters seen this season that convinces them that he's the man for the job? All he has done so far is get rid of a load of players which anyone could've done. The rugby has been nothing short of atrocious and all I hear from Powell is excuses. If he picks his 3 ex Cas mates next week then he's lost the plot and should be immediately fired on the pitch after another drubbing at Huddersfield.

But but but….overhaul!! I’ll tell you what Powell overhaul that ruddy second row, realise Ratchford is back up at best and I might believe you know what you’re doing.

| Quote ="easyWire"NO. But I am sitting nervously.
YES. I’ll say that on here, but not in person, as I don’t want to get beaten up… The fact is (as Sally pointed out on another thread) that Powell transformed Featherstone and Castleford, and had a big hand in setting Leeds up for a period of success. This was no accident.
I think the problem with Warrington is partly down to humility. We have had a culture of players who earn big bucks but get comfortable. They’re generally past stars who have nothing to prove and although they perform to a high standard generally (down to sheer talent) they don’t have that drive to excel anymore. There’s no incentive. Now Powell has come and turned this comfortable culture upside down. He won’t let the players choose to sit next to their mates at lunch, he won’t let them set their working hours on their terms, and he’s analysing their weaknesses with such attention to detail that they’re offended by any criticism. Added to this he’s changed the style of play, the calls, and he’s told them they’ve got to [iearn[/i a new contract if they want to stay.
Now, we can argue whether he’s gone about this in the right way, and whether he didn’t foresee the anxiety and the loss of confidence that this upheaval would create. However, this time last year we were begging for someone to come in and turn things upside down and overhaul the squad whilst bringing through young talent. And Powell certainly has a history for that. I think this also a learning curve for him though, as previously he’s been dealing with a bunch of fresh, humble and mostly young players who are easy to mould, rather than a comfortable, set-in-their-ways family of past masters who have found a cushy retirement gig to top up the pension.
I’m all in til easter ‘23 and live in hope.'"
This.
As always from you, a very perspicacious post. |

A draw is as good as a win here for Wakey as it cancels out our points difference advantage. They'd only need to gain 4 points and us not to gain any to go above us.

Pathetic isn't it? Cheering on Saints to try and save us from our dismal season.

I suppose this re-enforces the precariousness of our position. Not good for the old ticker.

Exactly I do not share the same confidence as those that say we will not go down, our next 2 games I expect nothing from. |

That Toulouse game is a cup final for us. We're going to struggle to win any other games on this form.
We also need to be careful not to ship too many points as this could be vital.
