RP was thrown in the deep end with very little support

He wasn't. He was offered a role as head coach (Whilst not being competent to do the job) and accepted the offer. No one forced him to.

And Rob Powell is doing an excellent job with the kids.

Re: Game v Sheffield, good and bad : Tue Jul 11, 2017 8:39 am  

And to think we could have had Darryl Powell as coach instead of Rob. We could be top of the Super League now.

Course we could bosty! Just like we won the treble with the coach we had that achieved that accolade!
I do believe with RP we did top the league for a couple of weeks

Sure we were top of the league.We then sunk like a lead balloon. When questioned by fans about the poor performances, Rob Powell answered, " What do you want me to do about it" He was the coach for heavens sake.
What is more, I believe Gus 'good for nothing' McKay was involved with his appointment at the time.
Cannot fault what he is doing with the youth now. He has found his niche.

Mate not disagreeing, he was the wrong man at the time, he didn't have the experience or skills, but it's gone! D Powell! Would he have got anymore out of the bunch of players we had at the time? Not convinced! We all know the whole club was not in a good place, some choose to put all the blame on one person that's up to them.
We have had better coaches! We have had worse than hendo, IMO he is a decent coach but suggesting the best we have had am not sure. Hope he stays though we need the stability at the moment.

Tony Currie was the best coach this club ever had
Les Kiss did a decent job
John Monie was amongst the worst
Yes I know RP is still at the club, he did what he could but should never have been in that position, he is doing a great job now and for that we are grateful.
Best talent scout the club has had is Tony Rae
IH is the best for a long time and who knows may end up taking TC's place at the top, would like to think so
Jamie Langley is achieving things we would never have thought possible

Hard to disagree with any of this.
