Crikey. Sensitive.

What we know is that Powell’s ideas of an ‘Elite Professional’ (his words) is nothing can come before Rugby, no matter what…

If it delivers us championships, I’m not sure many of us will be complaining mind.

Empathy however, isn’t DP’s leadership toolbox.

It's all coming out

This is all from a very reliable source within the club. Powell has been warned by Middleton and Fitzpatrick regarding his conduct and how he is treating people.

DP has been using these excuses for years was the same at Cas and when he was at Leeds. Personally just don’t think he’s a very good coach anymore. Highest Salary Cap spend in the league and he can’t get them playing.

If these reliable sources within the club are correct and are leaking internal, private potentially disruptive information then they need to take a good look at themselves.

This is supposedly a professional organisation, and if you want professional players then start leading from the top.

We need unity. Put a sock in it.

LOL

Who "leaked" the story about Coops refusing to play? You suggested it was fun.

So it's OK for people to flog a rumour of Cooper who can't defend himself on here but not for someone else to start another story on his defence. Where's the consistency?

Employees of the alleged professional organisation of Warrington Wolves Rugby League Club should be nowhere near this forum. Either side of the argument. I treat it like the old News of the World.

Its not clear that any employee has been on this forum has it?
It seems more like someone who knows someone.
Unsurprising for a town team. Players, employees, management have families and friends to who they may talk to when they get home and want to unwind. Not sure how you would stop that but I would agree that anyone employed it should be if not already part of their C of Employment to not post on any social media or newspaper.

Bit hard to when it's often been 33 vs 1. Honestly we've been gash but Cooper hand on heart has really never had a bad game, ALWAYS 100% given on the field. Question his off field behaviour all you want but they've all been cack on it for the most part except him in the large part. Going to Wigan he'll have a team around him that will have him giving us some very red faces.

It’s a town where a lot of people talk. Half the leaks out of the club come from Stuart Middleton after he has had a pint in Stockton Heath on a weekend. Also double standards if you are saying Powell is allowed to create false allegations about players and not let them defend themselves as they have contracts.

Careful FMC, I know it's warm out there, but keep up some semblance of moral decency.

I doubt it. Beware the mischief makers on the "Fantasy Forum". You should know better Cat.

We're those 2 in charge when Mr Atkins was binned out of the club? A great servant who was hushed out. There's been a few incidents in recent history, it isn't just DP doing it (if it's at all true)

It goes back years. Lee Penny. Mark Forster. Things don't always end well.

Are you saying Powell created a false allegation that has made its way on this forum?

Cooper has been a good player for Warrington for many years. I was just challenging the "tear us a new one". Hes not that type of player. More steady and consistent than barnstorming and aggressive.

Now being reported as happening. A toxic player who Warrington will be better off without, a totally replaceable prop forward. I hope Powell throws him under the bus and lays everything bare about his departure I have a feeling cooper wouldn’t come out of it looking great.

Where is it reported?

Matthew Shaw broke the news about an hour ago.

Thanks. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... n-24513347 We will hear it from our press team in about 3 days. Kudos to Crosswire and Dizzyheights for breaking this two days ago I wonder if he can still have afternoons off for Bubble Clothing?

Some nasty people on here.

I suspect (like you) that nobody on here knows absolutely anything at all about the “goings on” behind the scenes.

Still nobody has an answer as to why a club like Wigan and all the commitment and professionalism they demand would entertain Cooper and his apparent half hearted care for the cause if it was at all true. If he was such a bad apple, and unreasonable, Wigan wouldn't have him.

The same reason that clubs sign Zak Hardaker - because they think they can get him to change his bad habits?
