There won’t be room under the bus if Powell continues how he did today.

Great for team morale that…

Classic Powell, couldnt possibly have anything to do with him.

In fairness, whatever his perceived failings, Smith hasn't had much more than spare change to spend on the side as yet. He has also resisted the temptation to throw his players under the bus after defeats. Powell, with the biggest budget in the league behind him, just can't resist. Which probably explains the current run of defeats.

So are we looking at next year or the year after he's spent more than loose change that we'll be challenging up top end?

Fantastic innit.
Obviously having Williams back made a lot of difference....
Can't see Powell lasting the season.

Or the day....

Don't think another SL team will touch him now.

Stint as Scottish RU defensive coach beckons. Reborn as Braveheart McPowell.

He's embarrassed himself this year, though I don't think he'll even be aware of it.

I've only just read Powells full post match interview and wow that really is embarrassing. Not very self aware is he.

How many first choice international players do we have in our squad? Martin PNG, Bentley Ireland I can see Walters and Holroyd making the England team soon but 2 out of the current squad tells you all you need to know about the standard of players we have.

Myler
Roberts
MacDonald
McDonnell
Bentley
Newman
Oledzki
O'Connor
Martin
Tetevano
Sangare


If and England side was picked tomorrow Walters would probably be included. Holroyd too potentially.
