Is Tom related to Paul Forber btw?

Come 2024 they will have gone to the NRL due to lack of game time, I wonder why Powells never had any NRL offersmorley pie eater wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 6:42 pmMaybe unlikely this season, but, from what I'm reading about Forber and what I've seen of O'Neill, I'd say it's 50/50 for 2024, by which time Sam P will be 32 and could be in decline?southportcdm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 6:15 pm I get the impression that Powell is considered by the club to have coaching potential and the younger players seem to look up to him.

Maybe unlikely this season, but, from what I'm reading about Forber and what I've seen of O'Neill, I'd say it's 50/50 for 2024, by which time Sam P will be 32 and could be in decline?

Some of us may have doubts about Powell's quality but he's always worked hard on the pitch and I'm sure also in training. I'm guessing that's what has impressed young players and that's fair enough.

Sometimes the jokes write themselves lolThey’ve helped me with the change of tempo. Sometimes I was too fast to everything or trying to rush stuff, so they’ve just told me to calm down at times.
Powell is holding back the team so the sooner these young players can overtake him the better imo

Not going to happen though is it, they could be Cameron Smith NRL level and they still wouldn't oust the golden childWigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:22 pmSometimes the jokes write themselves lolThey’ve helped me with the change of tempo.
