If anybody thinks Powell is going to get us any further they're having a laugh. That man can't go a week without crying about injuries and tough calls whether he wins or loses. He has just as much a losers mentality as the majority of our squad.


Sorry, no. You've just witnessed how far a good coach can elevate a time and how far a poor coach can drag a team down. Powell will lift us several levels above the Price era; where that takes us, we'll have to wait and see.

Price won the same amount of trophies as Powell did at Cas, and Powell had double the tenure. Yes, Warrington have more money, and 'better' players if the wage is what we're going off, but it won't make a difference putting Powell in charge if we're being honest.

Trying to take the emotion out of this post but having great difficulty. Watched the wire for 40 years and seen some shocking performances , however this ranks up there as probably the worst I’ve seen.

Let me put it into context, as a club we currently have the biggest expenditure, the best infrastructure, on paper the best squad , the best board who are not shy of trying to bring success, the best fan base .

Tonight I witnessed players without passion, care or direction. It was shameful tonight and not one of them really cares .

How Price starts with Philbin and Akuelo is staggering. 2 of our best impact players. No Walker ( he may be injured ) , Ratchford at hooker ( worst performance I have seen but that’s unfair in grand scheme of what he has done. )
Thewlis instead of Charnley is such a big game. No back up hooker.

I could go on but take nothing away from Tony Smith as this thread suggests “ out coached”

Embarrassing

Where do we go? Board will stay exactly the same and in a couple of months the tired old marketing hype will start about "Powell's new breed" or something equally crass and we go again.


At least one thing with Powell's dour Yorkshire demeanour is he will have about as much time for that bullpoop as we do.

He might moan and whinge about refs and injuries but he's not going to patronise the fans by churning out management-bingo comms phrases and empty positivity.

Positives?... the 2 players coming from Cas are far better than the blokes they will be playing instead of.


Not as far as the Mata’utia/Mamo swap is concerned.
Mata’utia is a decent centre, but he has some shocking games. He offers very little in attack - not much pace, can’t feed the winger and usually cuts inside even when there is space out wide.
Holmes is different - when he”s on the field he’s a very good player - hits hard in defence and runs good lines with good footwork in attack. If (and it’s a big IF) he stays fit, he’d get in any team in SL.

Did you see Mamo tonight? He's been a great bargain bin.signing for us but he got shown up tonight against an out and out centre. They targeted our right edge all night.

With being big spenders every season comes the high expectations, it's only natural to feel deflated. But it's only 2 years since you last won a trophy.

It will make a massive difference and you will win Super League next year , he will not accept any nonsense from above , has the ability to improve players and your team will play a great brand of Rugby

Re: Where now? : Fri Sep 24, 2021 11:50 pm  
The executive team of Warrington Wolves need to take a long, hard, look at themselves and question whether the problem stems from the top down. Inexperienced CEO as leader, poor coach recruitment, failing to make hard decisions when they were needed. For 3 years we have bombed out of the playoffs at round 1. By and large our performances have been patchy. Price was hardly going to sack himself from the last head coach job he will ever have. The board tolerate failure and its endemic in the clubs culture. In the time of this dismal reign Saints have won SL with 2 different coaches and could win it again this year.

Assuming no changes at the exec level we can only hope Powell can manage upwards. He'll need to.
