Just because you & some others don’t like Powell or the way he plays doesn’t mean he is a bad player. The club must appreciate his contribution to the team to extend his stay here.

When I posted this piece of news I nearly replied immediately “Cue the Powell haters”!

Then I thought should I lock it straight away? Then I thought no leave it as it is for all the same Powell Haters to spout their vitriol & get it off their chests

Well O’Neil hasn’t played since Powell has come back. And he’s more than capable of playing in the first team

My issue with Powell is not that he is a great lad, and trains hard, it is that he has no attacking game. His defenders may attack anyone that doesn’t rate him, but I am yet to see anyone argue with that. The argument is simple - I think we would be better with a hooker who can pose an attacking thread.

As it happens, in a funny sort of way this is good news. When I opened the thread my fear was that we had 5 more years of the ploddinggest attacking plodder. Even the over the top quotes about his “cultural” impact (does he do mix tapes/help everyone with their paintings - we should be told?) don’t try to sell his skills.

We know that there will be a future beyond Powell - and we saw it against Saints and Huddersfield.

had the chance to bring in brad dwyer and inject some speed and uncertainty to 9 and send powell to salford oh well

Was there any doubt he was going sign a new contract

Couldn’t put it better myself.

You only to look at the way the players involved Powell in the CC celebrations he’s clearly well thought of by all at the club that’s for sure.

Don’t think so.
