So what, based on your observations having watched him play, is that "something" the club wants?Caboosegg wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 5:59 pmIt just seems that some fans know more than the coach. Someone will say jobs for boys but I don't believe for a minute the club would stick by Powell if he wasn't adding something the wanted.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 2:36 pmI suppose without stats to back the claim up I can’t say it as fact - I was tempted to see if they published the speed stats anywhere as we know from the John wells piece they collect them to see where he ranked and whether it was just visual - to play devils advocate pat Richard’s looked a lot slower than he wasbuttmonkey2 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 2:12 pm
Is it an opinion or a fact?
I'm sorry but whenever you see Powell play he is blatantly the slowest hooker in super league. Probably one of the slowest forwards in super league. Not an opinion but a fact from watching him v other players over the years
However it wouldn’t capture probably the most important area which is off the mark pace - top speed doesn’t count for a lot it’s more than initial acceleration- but Powell literally looks like he’s stuck in quicksand
Or is it in realty as much of a mystery to you as it is to me and others?
It's seems to me the notion there must be something he adds is a bit like the Emperors New Clothes.
