Re: Powell wants to finish career at Wigan
The other point on the coaches pick him thing
Who else actually is there? Tommy is played in the halves and is too old - we dont actually have another 9 outside of a teenager

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Im getting a little fed up of this "coaches like him" argument too, he's dependable, he trains well, no problems off the pitch, comes across incredibly level headed and gives you 100% effort every match OF COURSE THEY LIKE HIM! it does not make him a "great" player
put it this way why has Wane not included him in the England set up? coaches rate him so highly? just not as high as a nearly 35 year old with 500 matches in his legs, Wane coached him for years so that rate highly soon went once give the choice of other hookers. He just isnt at the sharp end of hookers in the league .
Problem is people who are his fans want you to believe he is better than he is
his critics want you to believe hes worse than he is
the true answer is he is somewhere in the middle
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Powell wants to finish career at Wigan
He averages 50 tackles a match plays for 80 minutes and doesn't miss tackles also 100% effort every game and i think is getting better at going for the line when its appropriate. He may lack a bit of pace but makes up for it with his all-round game

Does a job, but he ain't a top hooker.

I think he’s SoL’s successor for captain.

I'm hoping Lam might consider a 'leadership team' for 2021?
Farrell (1st choice), Hardaker, Powell, Bateman and Smithies (long-term/future) are all solid and consistent in their own right and surely 5 heads are better than 1.

Re: Powell wants to finish career at Wigan
Wigan fans sure have gotten used to mediocrity in the last 10 years, Not Wigan standard in a month of Sundays
Let's is a contraction of “let us.” You use it to make suggestions about what you and someone else should do. Let's is NOT a promise
Re: Powell wants to finish career at Wigan
I keep reading and keep hearing that his attack isn’t good enough, he isn’t dangerous enough, creative enough etc.
Top try scoring hooker in Superleague-Sam Powell
Top assist making hooker in Superleague-Sam Powell (joint)
He’s turned in to a top player for my money. He’s tough as they come, his work rate is huge, he’s a leader, has a great engine and his attack has come on leaps and bounds. I do t think Lam has improved many players but Powell is twice the player under him.
