The idea that Isa, Powell or whoever else is an "automatic pick" when fit, is often stated as a fact. It isn't.
Isa isn’t but Powell is. When was the last time he didn’t play other than when injured or suspended? I can’t recall one such occasion. Has he ever been dropped? Not to my knowledge which might not be a problem if he was any good but he’s not. The fact he’s always in the team is a big problem. Isa was good value when he was signed but he’s past it now. Powell is just crap. Worst no 9 in the league bar none is not an exaggeration.
I just don't get why he is so untouchable

Powell would play over harry grant. Earlier on in the year when we was smoking teams peet would constantly refer to Powell in post match interviews even when he was average. He will never get dropped and retire at Wigan

Didn't take long for it to go from Peets changing the culture to its jobs for the boys.
I'm curious why he has been picked by 3 different coaching set ups
People surely can't believe that IL would risk silverware by forcing them to pick him?

Lenners is all about rugby on a budget, Powell fits his narrative, therefore he is untouchable

No, I'm not joking, I'm not saying he doesn't spend money but when was the last time he spent big money on a superstar player, Majority of signings have been project, NRL rejects or has-beens

I will say it again SUPERSTAR players, above three are nowhere near SUPERSTAR status, Biggest ever contract offered to former player and NRL failure, Got jobs for the boys written all over that one

What team does bring in superstars?
SL only gets players with off the pitch issues or those looking to get game time to push back into an NRL team.
