I agree Suttoner, I think they have bought Powell in to get the monkey off their back, however, think he’ll want a trophy this year and that’s most likely the challenge cup. Think he will then look to shape the squad for next season and they’ll be more competitive next year. That’s not to say he won’t be giving it a go this season, just think wire are a couple of players short.
I reckon Warrington have brought in Powell because they have exhausted all other avenues in the pursuit of the Championship. Tony Smith couldn’t bring it despite being IMO a good coach. Pryce (despite his monotone demeanour) always looked frustrated as if other forces were at play during his tenure. Didn’t Powell get shut of Briers as soon as he got the gig? I’m probably wrong. But maybe Powell didn’t want the same baggage that held back Pryce? Anyway. I think the issues at Warrington go way passed the coaching ability. Theres some sort of cultural or mentally problem at that club.
Kudos for Wolfie coming on here predicting a big saints win. No point being patronising towards him. We will win well tomorrow if we play as well we can. Not because Warrington are particularly bad. Just because we are head and shoulders better than every other team this year. Complacency or huge injuries are the only thing that can stop us winning something this year.
Tomorrow night our left edge of Matautia, Percival and Makinson will rack up all our points without the team breaking much of a sweat.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think Chris Hill is still a very good prop and they made the wrong decision letting him go. They look light up front to me.
Maybe Luke Thompson led them up the garden path

I take absolutely no pleasure in saying “I told you so”.
Hurrell going to NRL in 2023?

Hardly news, it was touted when he only signed a 1 year contract for us.
Loyal and true, not a glory hunter.
It will be interesting to see if his performances drop off, now he has a deal.
You're all quoting Wolfie to the wrong thing here. He posted that back in March after we'd beaten them and relates to a previous post they made in the thread. Nothing to do with this latest news.
