This utter clown needs to head out and take Sheridan with him.
I don't understand if Powell wants us to play with pace or none at all. Does he want us to actually implement a kicking game or not. Does he want us to play with an attacking structure or just throw the ball around until Mata'utia inevitably drops the ball, a player who offers absolutely nothing, and somehow is meant to REPLACE JAKE MAMO!!! Just think about that for a minute.
This is also the only season we have really complained about Toby King's defence, but his attacking form has been slowed by Powell. If our backs were made up of Thewlis, Wrench, Mamo, King, Ashton, Williams and Ratchford under Price, were a Top 4 side easily. Anyone still pretending Price wasn't good enough is lying to themselves. If he was in charge of next seasons team we'd be scary.
Since Powell took over Castleford in 2013, his average League position is worse than ours in the same time. His being 5.6 and ours at 4.1, with 2 different coaches. While he only finished higher than us in 4/9 seasons... And we are supposed to make progress with a coach that hasn't even been better than us in the last decade? He hasn't even made the playoffs for the last 2 seasons.
All the stats aside, you can clearly see his attacking style or structure does not work. But I'm sure we'll work hard in training this week guys, so it's all under control.
At work so this'll be brief. I'm not attempting to defend Powell too much after that first half - dreadful.
Point 1: with all the changes and young players, it's going to take at least a season to get those combos working.
Point 2: those stats aren't really compatible as Powell was working on a much lower budget.
Point 3: Powell track record has shown he is a renowned attacking coach ie classy cas.
What I will have a go at is the effort in the first half - appalling and disrespectful to the fans.
