Quote ="Offy"for me it would have to be Powell from Castleford. look at some players he has signed, d.solomona, gale, finn etc. if we'd have signed those, the fans would be in uproar. yet look at how Castleford have played since he took over, look at their league positions. he gets the very best out of players.
despite losing sneyd, clark, huby chase huaraki etc he's had to rebuild the Castleford squad, most thought theyd struggle with the calibre of players leaving, yet they're still a top 4 side.
they play entertaining rugby, they win close games, compete in nearly all games, but to look at their squad you wouldn't think theyd be any good (no offense to Castleford players)
no he hasn't won anything, and yes he had a torrid time at leeds. but he's gone down, learnt his trade and now look at what he's doing with Castleford. I wont be long before one of the top teams come calling for him, so for me, we need to get in and get him now...could use the money we will be saving with this academy merger cr@p to get him.
maybe then, AP will see his money time and effort has been put to good use'"
Saved me the time writing this.
The transfer fee we get from Lineham, should be used to try to buy out Powell's contract.
We have paid transfer fees for players and it hasn't gone tremendously well, this time we need to pay for a good coach.
Also let him look at the coaching system from top to bottom and implement what changes he feels he needs to turn this sinking ship around.
