Well what a first few months we have to look forward to.

Will this be an impediment in the industry to attracting players? Sounds like it will be?

Ive heard similar if I'm honest.

I got to know him in his Leeds days, and he also seemed quitr grounded, without getting ahead of himself.

Weren't Cas bottom of the league when he took over in 2012/13

If true he is on his way ,think there will be a lot of younger players,who are going to want to buy into Powells, high standard ,to improve . Think he is the kind of Coach who will put time in to find them and bring them to the club Must admit beginning to look forward to next year Be good to see us win more matches. S L is for about 6 clubs, and think it will get down to the same 3 or 4 who will win every thing

Been on loan at York, scored 8 tries in 12 games, strong runner but at 19 almost 20 I'm not too sure he's SL ready, may need another year on loan in Championship, saying all that, due to his age he will come with the U21 standard fee and I had heard he was lined up for York next season.

I think he struggles with dealing with egos/high profile players.

I think he would be good for us on a 3 year cycle with Mash hopefully being retained as one of his assistants.
