Why spell him at 13? What does that achieve?
He’s not a forward so won’t be taking drives and he’s a failed halfback so barely going to rip up trees with the ball in hand.
100% correct. Powell had a really good season when McIlorum was injured but didn’t kick on at all. He can defend well and obviously is experienced. The coaches speak about his ‘leadership’ but he doesn’t lead on game day so not sure what they see.
He’s not a good hooker, he’s never a halfback and he definitely isn’t a 13. He’s a weak link when we have the ball and it’s time we went in a different direction because he’s not going to change or improve now.
