He has to go.....I don't want to wait until we're in the championship before his brilliant coaching starts to show itself.

Please tell me why/how things are going to get better.

Wasting your breath wanting him go as the board have said he’ll be backed until next season but give me Pricey back anyday as this man has ruined what was a consistently top 4 team.

Re: Powell OUT : Fri Jul 22, 2022 8:56 pm  
Ive tried to not comment recently.. as i am still (just about) a believer in 'the project '. However, its hard to keep it up when were turning in cack like that......really dont know where we go from here......

Seems a mentality issue l, throwing 14 point leads away in 2 games...we should of kicked on and been out of sight. No idea whats going on...

I don't want to be a top 4 team, I want to win Grand Finals. Something radical had to happen. It is awful at present, but I think we have to hold our nerve a little longer.

Anything but Price again. I'd rather we brought in Shearings, Mayne or Playbus as coaches.

Have you tried calling the club shop?

Re: Powell OUT : Fri Jul 22, 2022 9:13 pm  
I was looking forward to Powell coming in as much as anyone and supportive of the squad needing overhauling, but this is shambolic and it is scandalous how the heart is getting ripped out of the club.
The king has no new clothes he is in the altogether but and had been truly found out.
Perhaps rather than believing that he had improved clubs we should have been looking at how the clubs went once he left! How many trophies did Leeds win once he’d gone? Where has the unfancied Lee Radford got Castleford to after Powell left not withstanding the fact that Powell brought his leaders with him.
The bad apples may have gone, but they have been replaced with lemons.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

I've been a pretty consistent supporter of Powell. I think the club has been in a mess long before he rocked up and was desperately in need of radical overhaul. My expectation for him this season was to steadily root out the slackers and to at some point (certainly by now) to be showing signs of an improvement for future success. The only time when I believed pressure should be put on his role was if we were showing genuine signs of being relegated.

Sadly, I now think we have reached that point. For whatever reason, it just isn't happening. I don't believe he has become a bad coach overnight, I'm just beginning to suspect that he is the right man in the right place, but unfortunately at the wrong time.

I honestly think any coach would have struggled with our squad this season - there is a demise there that has been set in for quite a while (probably September 2019 onwards) and it has been allowed to fester to the point where we have been this season - Powell rightly saw that demise, but his solution has been perhaps just too radical. Right idea, wrong method of carrying it out.

So, what do we do now? Part of me wants us to hold our nerve and let him ride it out, but at some point I think we need at least one more win and just how late do we want to leave it if that win isn't forthcoming?

There is then the question of who to bring in?.. the obvious is to go back to Tony Smith, but is that a short term measure to keep us up, or do we bring him back for the long term?

I'm just rambling now, but it really is a situation where its difficult to be certain what the right thing is to do. It's just so frustrating that a club with so many resources at his disposal, which gives them such an advantage over many of its rivals, can make such a mess of how it is managed.

Interested outsider looking in ... I'll pose a question ... If the current crop of players are not buying in to the Powell philosophy, why the hell would the likes of Dufty, Kasiano, McGuire, Vaughan be any more likely to?

Unfortunately you can't flick a switch and change the culture - it takes time - especially after years of complacency. Hopefully a positive cultural change will have been established by the start of next season.
