Agree with you Mark.



He should not be expected to just walk away from this job with very little of prospect of getting another. He should be either compensated or given another role.



Pop Pan - I agree with your sentiments but I still feel you cannot walk away from a job when you have a family to feed and bills to pay. His family must be his first priority, as is the case with most people on the planet, surely?

There is life beyond losing your job you know. And life outside Rugby League.



The bloke is spineless and there is a good chance he will go down in history as the man who dragged a club with 30 years of history into the abyss, upsetting a number of passionate supporters. Some won't just shrug their shoulders and go and watch London Skolars when their team is taken away from them. But hey, as long as Powell is collecting 9 months worth of salary, the clubs existence and its supporters are just a minor consideration.

There's been some very balanced and humane posts in this thread and then there's Listers.



Powell is not good enough, that's obvious. It's also obvious that he should never have been put in that position by the inept board and owner.



The club should pay him off and he should find a job perhaps as a development officer with the RFL, or do something else entirely as he hasn't the ability to coach at this level.

heard he did a mean bodypop though

what's so hard.



Quick play the balls.

get the ball to first receiver quickly - or run from dummy half

have deep lying runners

Pass to them once a defender has committed to the ball carrier, unless said ball carrier as footwork to beat defender.

Have receiver run towards gap



(repeat)

I suppose that you're just fishing as usual, but do you have any evidence for this libellous comment?

If the RFL want to help start an amateur club up in the South RP is the ideal man for it. He has the qualifications and experience to do just about everything. Its just a shame there is no vacancy and he has been put in the coach's job at the Broncos instead which for one reason or another is beyond his capabilities.

Theory is easy, coaching isn't and no matter how good a player you might or might not have been it's a very different discipline.



The thing that Powell lacks above everything else is personality. You need to be a leader.

Haha, please tell me you aren't being serious.

Which part do you disagree with? Which part is incorrect?

Sitting on the fence asking the question - whats so bad about him losing the job he is not capable of doing? this happens on a daily occurance in real life. People are losing their jobs all the time and most through no fault of their own. As I have said I have no axe to grind with RP he may be the best bloke out, he may be a great family man but he is a useless coach and that is what he is being paid to do. That is the job he is not capable of and that is the job where he is failing in grand fashion.

Exactly.
