Powell took over a team that was bottom of the league in 2013 and in 4 years had them top of the table.
He didn't have the budget to bring in big name galactico signings, and they were still a selling club. During that 4 year revival Cas lost their best player three times, (Rangi Chase, Daryl Clark, Denny Solomona) and Powell still kept improving them, and playing good attacking rugby too.

You really are hard selling him, you got a bet on him for next coach

I'm gutted DP will be leaving us but some of our play the last few years has been dross. We were hugely spoiled In 2017 and never replaced Zak. I do think now we have Evalds we will have a good year if Trueman and Richardson stay fit. Powell at wire with the £ and facilities will flourish. Something he never really had at Cas as we don't have a great deal of £ and our facilities suck.

Just a thought. Some coaches can do an admirable job without funds, but when they get the millions can't handle the ego's in the dressing room. i suppose a lot will depend on what influence any new coach has on who is signed.

Powell was given absolute power at Cas and thrived. Think too many cooks at Wire, and will not be a good fit. Wane worked at Wigan because he is so part of the town and ethos.....
I actually think Brian Mac would be best fit for you. He'd sort out some of the egos in the dressing room, and boardroom for that matter...

NO GO RULES HIMSELF OUT

?????????

Wigan Today says hes ruled himself out.

He's not on his way to us at all.

To be fair - whilst I'm not saying its untrue - the article in Wigan Today provides no evidence or even any direct quote from Wane on the topic - it's got about as much substance as our discussions on here.

Was it a source at the palace, or a friend of Meghan's that got in touch with Wigan Today.

According to Karl Fitzpatrick we haven't decided on a shortlist of candidates yet. That could be BS though as could be Wane's supposed denial.
Personally I can't see it being Wane or Powell, more likely McDermott or another Aussie.

All adds to the intrigue, not knowing whether it's bluff or double bluff.

Wigan today has good connections with Wane.

I see young Latu is doing some coaching at Latchford Giants ,could he be honing his skills to become our next head coach ?

Roll on the start of the season so I can have some posts to read that relate to rugby and our performance - or lack of it - rather than the endless speculation on who will be our coach next year. It's soooo boring.

have you not been watching the classic games on sky? they've had the joey game on and the 2006 play off game just finished.

Was a nice trip down memory lane

Buckle up, it could be Long season...

Roy Hodgson?

Great game.
Got the dvd

You did a job in us that year....
Got you back though.... 2011......

Out of interest, who did Warry play in next play off game that year, and how did Johns go?

we played bradford and got beat at odsal, johns didn't turn up at all that night.

Shame as he was epic. That's Bull's team were bloody annoying though, Peacock and Fielden were immense.
What was score?
