I know you rate Hampshire CP but I think he is really overrated he's not really done much in the first team. As for Powell he's the definition of average

To be fair, the club have rated him for years.
There must be more to this, and it is probably confidence related due to whatever has happened behind the scenes.

By all accounts, Sam did OK spelling Micky today and was left on the pitch. Has Rocky ever played hooker?

It's a sad day going off his academy form but not his first team form!!

Showed some fantastic ability in the first team too playing in a 'foreign position' Time for Wigan / Wane to do the decent thing and treat Rocky with some class. Everybody who has seen Rocky and George knows they are both equal. George despite the knockers was shown faith and most see what he offers. Perhaps if Rocky was given the same chance we would have 2 GB halfbacks for a decade. We will never know until he is given the chance. The club are afraid to let him go but at least let him go on loan to play half back AT ANOTHER sl CLUB.

dOES ANYBODY THINK sl CLUBS ARE CLAMOURING TO SIGN sAM pOWELL?

Apologies caps

I wouldnt assume he is finished just yet (unless you know something I dont).

I think Bowen will be given a rest after the Saints game and Rocky will be given another chance.

He might benefit from going on loan but will Waney insist he plays full back? :angry:
Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?

Its not a sad say as he has done very little in SL to justify any of the praise CP is putting upon him. Powell can play 2-3 roles and more importantly cover Hooker.

Now with all you knowledge on the game CP would you say its ideal just as we are getting some form changing the side to keep 1 player and some fans happy. when after all your going off this academy form and not from what he has done in SL. I know he is not a fb but he is nowhere near ready. He is at least another season away. Or should Wane risk it and keep you happy or would it.

I agree. I have not seen anything yet to suggest he is this brilliant player certain people rave about.

So can Smith,allowing Rocky to be given the chance to play at 6 and George at 7.
Many are willing to allow one of our prized assets to leave and return to cause havoc.
