No pre season trip this year, everyone said it was a good thing no bonding sessions

Possibly

I don't know, but I'd like to think Powell would have some idea. Maybe a captain who is vocal (and good) would be able to get some reaction from his teammates.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to be more wise and one day I hope to wake up and be just like you.

Might sound stupid but maybe Mamo and Linehams little squad did more for morale around the place than one would have thought.

When are we getting his post match comments? I do wonder what the flavour will be this week

Just talking utter nonsense will do pal .
And how much bigger was hulls pack tonight over the small pack of Warrington ?

DP: "For 20 minutes, it was calamitous. "I don't think we had one defensive set where something didn't go wrong. "I was brought in to change the culture at this club and it's tough, but I'm working hard."

Blimey

DP: "I wouldn't want to make any excuses with the journey. "You're 20-0 down and you're just wow. You give yourself such a mountain to climb. "Defensively, we're miles off. "I look back through my coaching career and I rarely see five straight defeats. "It's not turning around quickly enough."

The opportunity is there next weekend, if a club trip/booty kicking clinic/bonding session/clear the air talks/therapy session is required.

Should have gone with 'trained the house down all week, there are some positives we can take from the performance'.

I feel bad for Powell right now, this team are just not playing for him and I just wish we could get some honesty about what is going on.

Size I've no idea or whether they were more effective which is more important. It sounded like Philbin and bullock at least were playing alright, I've mentioned elsewhere I don't think the pack is the main problem Atm.

Your reply doesn't even make sense BTW, talking nonesense indeed.

Hmm no we not got Price in charge now.

DP "see you all in two weeks time with the same 17 and the worst captain at Warrington maybe ever"

We need some resilience

DP: "I'd like to sit down with the people who came over tonight, have a beer with them and explain how I'm going to turn it around. That will be a commitment from me." "I'm not one for walking away from anything. "I am 100 per cent committed to making this work."

Preferably before going 20 - 0 down.

There has to be a bit of a shake up now, surely? It's getting worse not better.

If he's 100% committed to turning it around as he says then he literally has no other choice. I'd sit them all down in the stands and send out the team that played Salford the other year. At least they showed some guts.

Apparently Powell has offered to sit down and have a drink with Wire fans who attended tonight’s game in his post match press conference.

And that's not gonna cause even more of a seige mentality for the squad against him.

Lots of suggestions being made as possible explanations for what's happening - the players aren't playing for Powell, something's gone on behind the scenes, the players are unhappy over Hill and Mamo going, etc. One or all of these might be true, I have no idea. Then again, maybe we all just hope it's something of that nature because the alternative - that the players are simply not good enough - is a scarier reality that would need a much longer-term fix.

Well if it does it will confirm the squad just do not want to play for him. So who do we back the squad or the coach.

Anyone want to help chip in for Steve Price's return flight?

I didn't see the game but I'm sure someone who did can confirm the following:
- Props hardly ran onto the ball
- We had 1 dummy runner maximum but mostly had 0 when attacking
- We passed across the line with no pace
- Mata'utia knocked on at least once

On this occasion we simply HAVE to back the coach. A message needs sending out about the type of players we want at this club.

Blimey, indeed.
