Not playing in the Grand Final due to "a breach of club rules". What makes great players do stupid as well as they do?

Utter tool who has let his team mates and supporters down badly.

How many chances does he want?

Well played Powell for taking such a brave step. Memories of Tim Smith just before our £1M game. Want a Cas win even more now.

If Cas lose on Saturday, it'll be a tough place to live.

Only a matter of time, a little earlier than I expected. WHAT A TOOL.

Respect to Cas for having the balls to do it. Can't stand either team but given that they're both in the final definitely rooting for Cas (quietly and through gritted teeth)

It's like being asked which hand you'd prefer to be amputated.

I'm not sure Cas had much option. Absolute tool.
Not sure id fancy Greg Eden at full back. Any other options? Ben Roberts maybe?

Not really appropriate for a family forum - Come on.

Well Belly you must have been a big loss to the diplomatic service.

just commenting on rumor, with Cas officially make no comment then it leaves the field wide open to gossip, speculation , rumor etc. Bad move by Cas they should have come clean and that would have presented idiots like me jumping to conclusions based on rumor and pub talk.

What a prize pillock - especially after his heartfelt interviews earlier this year about his personal trials and tribulations whilst at Leeds.

You could build a good side out of the tools who have been suspended / banned over the last few seasons.
Its just in Hardakers make up I don't think he even thinks about himself , team mates and certainly not the club .

Such a let down to his team and their fans

. Never thought I would but I will be cheering Cas on even more now on Saturday. They've had an incredible season and I hope they get the win to top it off.

A big time Charlie that thinks he's bigger than the game. Good talent, no brains. He'll end up at Leigh, if Cas have the Cojones to sack him.

I don't think Cas's cojones are in question, they've just binned him from the biggest match in their history.

Won't have a choice if it is drugs as he'll get a ban as Walker did with us.

I hope it costs them the grand final. So much for having a great ethos at that club, this is the second former MoS who has been suspended for breaching club rules this season

For all we know, it may have been the other players that forced the club's hand. If the rest of the team said to Powell that they would refuse to play if he was in the squad, it doesn't take much to know who's getting dropped

Cas is not the leafy suburbs

BBC Sport saying that it happened a few weeks ago and away from the club. Certainly curious.

Posters elsewhere have mentioned that something might have happened immediately after the Wigan game

A serial Richard head who has let Cas down badly.

If it's the White powder, surely it up to Cas whether they keep him while he serves his ban ? Or bin him off like Rangi.
