[quote="sally cinnamon" I'll be backing Powell when everyone is calling for his head next season.[/quote]
Powell doesn't get carte blanche support from me just because he's new or he's transitioning the team. I do think he's got to be given time to get his system in place, however, if he loses the new dressing room that he's built and the commitment and performances of the team take a serious dive, he isn't free of scrutiny. He's identifying weaknesses and is making unpopular decisions which is part of strong management. (Mamo out, Cooper seemingly out, Hill out etc)
I was (and still am) a huge Tony Smith fan, but his last season with us was pretty gut wrenching, the effort wasn't there from the players, there was something rotten at the club that he ultimately had responsibility for. Most of us on here look back at the early Smith years with fondness and glee, despite the fact we didn't win a GF and I think, in part, it's because there was heart amongst the players. It could've also been that we were tosh for so many years prior.
Price didn't win a GF, won a CC and people wont look back fondly on him.
