It’s not an anomaly to miss the play offs for a Powell team though. It’s an anomaly for a post-Smith Warrington team to miss play offs though. Smith got sacked, Powell got another chance, and failed again. With his own team.
Now people will be anti-Burgess and anti-Powell and that’s fine. But his time here was an abject failure. Kicked out all the “bad apples” and still failed to deliver.
This year leaves a lot to be desired, but last year and this years cup run is far superior than any single performance under Powell, who never beat a big team with us, let alone got us into conversations about winning anything.
Sam might not be the answer, but of the past failures, Smith and Price both did so much more without ever going through the complete collapse of 2022. Unmitigated disaster, with only Thewlis to point to as a player that improved under Powell.
Today's winner.
Why on God's good earth, are we getting
dewy eyed over a fella that almost destroyed us, is beyond me.
What's next?
James Lowes.
Was he all that bad?
