Re: Trueman. Surely the catalyst for Trueman’s rise to prominence was Powell? If that’s the case, no point signing someone with back problems when we have a talented half back of our own waiting for Powell to work his stuff and turn him into a decent first team regular.

The whole point of signing Powell was to turn us into a decent side bringing through our academy stars. There simply aren’t many decent established ‘stars’ available to buy in this hemisphere, and no proven NRL coaches. The fact that some of our older heads may be waning could be a good thing and force Powell to bring the next generation through more quickly.

The way to get the fans flocking in is to get a winning team who give 100% every game, I know its a bit much to ask but its been done before and I reckon it will work again

He's been here for 5 months, and been in charge of recruiting since last spring.

We've got worse

Time to start earning your money, Yarkshiremon

I’m for giving Powell this season it’s Fitzpatrick for me that needs to go, been saying this for a few years now.

He hasnt covered himself in glory early on, thats for sure....... But Im really struggling to see what any coach would be able to do with the forwards we have at our disposal... worst pack in the league by a country mile... weak, tepid and work shy

Re: Daryl Powell : Sun Mar 27, 2022 3:22 pm  

Weren’t this bad under Price and most on here were calling for him to go. Not been this bad since Reggie Bowden was in charge.

Re: Daryl Powell : Sun Mar 27, 2022 3:28 pm  

Even more worried now. Powell is paid to transition from Price's processes to his own. All he has done is confuse , he has tried to change everything too quickly It has resulted in a lack of confidence in the team, morale and results. Shambles!

Price had 4 years to lose 3 knock out playoffs and leave a poorly performing squad behind. Our problems are many and varied, Powell will get the season at least I hope.

That squad was performing better under Price than Powell, to be fair though. Maybe as a coach Price was more popular with the players than the fans - for whatever reason.

Perhaps we have to lower our expectations to Castleford former levels. If you sign a coach who produces average performances on full cap, why should we expect the same here with the same cap.
