Re: Powell OUT : Thu Jun 22, 2023 8:26 am
In my view he is a rubbish centre, and definitely worse as a 6 and in the pack (where his grabby tackling is really exposed). I have deliberately stayed off here and the WG site until yesterday. The only interview i have read is the one where DP defended PM in the light of public criticism. Hence my post. If he has public ally criticised other players and not PM then that sheds a different light on it. Certainly he (DP) seems to have a blind spot as far as PM is concerned and reading between the lines it looks like he is being reinforced by Sheridan’s views.
I agree that R Dean would have been hooked from the pitch fairly early doors had he made similar mistakes.
Perhaps Powell is trying to protect what remains of the leadership group given the Maguire debacle.
Presumably he will double down and select skippy at 6 again assuming Drinkwater isn’t fit.
