Beginning of the issues we are in now. With less money around we will not get a good coach unless we persuade Wane with emotional blackmail.

It amazing how a narratives changes changes.
Edwards burned bridges with the WRU as well. Wanted him to stay on.Caboosegg wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 9:05 amIt amazing how a narratives changes changes.
Edwards didn't come because he had better options for more money in union, its was not only us he messed about.
He virtually never plays what’s in front of him. He’s robotic.Caboosegg wrote:I would normal disagree with DaveO as he is nowhere near as bad as he makes out.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 12:19 amPowell’s not the only problem there is more punch in Judy than our front row.

My son came over from Leeds and I was dropping him off at Newton-le-Willows station for his train which he made with five minutes to spare. I have driven to places I never been before tonight.
As to he Powell proved to right what I said the other week. He's the worst hooker have have had since the 80's.
He can't direct the forwards to save his life and his standard play which he did numerous times is this:
Step 1. Plant feet
Step 2. Move the ball to the left as in some sort of an excuse for a dummy
Step 3. Pass the ball right.
This is all done in slow motion so the opposition are up before the ball is going anywhere and step 2. is quite frankly laughable. He looks like a five year old kid pretending to play RL mimicking something he's seen on TV.
He is garbage and I am sorry if anyone thinks otherwise, time to go to specsavers.
However last night he was terrible, at one point he stould still with the ball in hand for 5 seconds doing nothing.
The reason I singled him out from last night is with zero coming from the halves in terms of creating anything you look to other players to do something and no 9 in the modern game is a key creative position and literally nothing came from him.AndyNick wrote:Here we go. How on earth are you singling out Powell from last night? You've got Bullock who dropped more balls than he caught. You've got Gildart who popped up to finish two tries but for most of the match looked completely out of sorts. Was Tommy on the pitch? I didn't notice?? But yeah it was Powells fault.DaveO wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 11:28 pmJust got back after a nightmare journey home due the junction on the M6 bing shut!

On a positive note, Marshall did OK on his return, Kai Pearce-Paul was probably our best player when he came on and Joe Shorrocks at least tried to spark some sort of effort. The rest were just lacklustre and felt like they were waiting for something to happen. It needed someone to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and take command. Smith you felt was trying to make something happen but the execution wasn't there. He actually reminds me a lot of George Williams when he first came in, needs to learn when to go for the Hollywood play and when to just take the contact and move on to the next play.
