I hope this topic carries on!
I find it hilarious how some are reacting on here.

What you say Mike I concur. I have never expressed my opinions re- the topic of discussion and I'm not about to now. What I'm concerned about isn't the criticisms made it's the repeating of the same mantra by the same people repeatably As I have said and others have said its getting monotonous. We get the message. We need a decent 9. We don't need telling repeatedly we might agree but the issue is up to the management not seemingly witch hunting fansMike wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 7:09 pmThe original poster using the word 'woke' probably means they feel threatened that people exist that hold a view different to their own. They would like to be protected by never encountering a view point that is not their own.josie andrews wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 6:49 pmWTF is woke?? These bloody words folk make up to mean exactly opposite to what the word actually mean.archiekeith wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 11:59 am There's nothing (woke " about my post. We lost the game becaus the better team on the night won obviously. We've had 17 pages on the topic of Powell many posters repeating the same mantra repeatedly. We get it. The Club I'm sure get it. It's gone beyond criticism it's more like a witch hunt Stop it. Please!
Bloody jargon please say what you mean & not these words that only a few people know what they mean!!
Thank you
IE they are offended that someone has the opinion that there has been enough Powell chat for now and believe they are being silenced because archie has said that.
Not directly aimed at you Steve but I find it mad how people will go to lengths to suggests ways of getting around sam powells weaknesses rather than say he isn’t good enoughBig Steve wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 3:17 pm In some ways having Powell in the team means we need a decent ball playing 13 in the style of Cam Smith or SOL. This is obviously the role they have
Shorrocks in mind for, but we seem to favour 4 props on the bench so our attacking points of difference are limited.
Makes.it easy to focus defenders on Smith and Field, especially when Tommy and Sam make up the spine.
I wonder if .... Maybe the number of posts defending SP is related to the number of posts attacking his ability? No you're right. Its a conspiracy.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 7:18 pmNot directly aimed at you Steve but I find it mad how people will go to lengths to suggests ways of getting around sam powells weaknesses rather than say he isn’t good enoughBig Steve wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 3:17 pm In some ways having Powell in the team means we need a decent ball playing 13 in the style of Cam Smith or SOL.

Or better still the fans who say that we all know he’s bad so let’s stop talking about it because we’ve already mentioned it
Ill say it again there isn’t a single player who gets more protection from fans than sam powell
Even the coaches - whenever they praise him notice how they always praise him about stuff that’s nothing to do with actually playing - it’s always off the field stuff
Yeah but daveo he’s a nice lad.DaveO wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 10:00 pm I find the notion the posts criticising Powell are repetitive a bit strange.
Team sport is by it’s nature repetitive in that normally, each week, there is another game. There were 27 this season not including cup or playoff games.
If a player keeps putting in the same level of performance and some people don’t think it’s good enough, it’s going to keep getting mentioned. WTF would it not be?
It’s not as if in Powell’s case people don’t cite why pointing to his failings in games. Just watch him for goodness sake. Which to me means the those wanting to shut down such criticism are a bit odd. What’s the problem?
You know he’s crap an are sick of hearing it? Or you actually believe he’s any good?
