Like watching Saints fifteen years ago. Beautiful attacking rugby. Today's Saints couldn't score Cas's tries if they were playing unopposed.

McManus should break the bank to sign Darryl Powell. His ability to develop other club's rejects, recruit unknowns, and mold the lot into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, is unsurpassed.

I would imagine he will stay in Yorkshire and end up at Leeds.

What would Powell see in us as a Club that would even make him get in the car? Until we sort out the malaise and old boys club mentality we can forget decent coaches, players, anything. Powell's next stop will be Leeds, not us.

He will stay at Cas. Why would he go back to coach Leeds again, after being forced into an 'upstairs job' to facilitate Smith?

They are in another league at the moment, some real good players, down to good signings and good coaching, don't think KC and the players the club seem to go for can compete with this which is sad with Saints being such a top club for many years.

That was RL at its best.

Do we employ scouts? They go for the likes of McMeeken, McShane and Solomona; we go for the likes of Peyroux, Lee and Owens. This club is lacking in so many areas.

McShane



We could have taken punts on Solomona and McMeeken, they won't have been on much when signing for Cas. However, if we did, it'd get the inevitable "why are we not signing stars?" comments that we've gotten with Lee. Plus, they probably wouldn't have progressed as they have done at Cas if they'd have signed for ourselves.

You can add springer, moors sene-lafao, and minikin to those.

When DP recently signed his new extended contract it contained a clause that allows him to get on with the job without interference from above. Would get a clause like that at Saints or Leeds?

McShane over Tommy Lee every day of the week without fail.

There are not many hookers in super league I'd swap for mcshane full stop

I think mcshane is very underated player. Works hard, clever and aggressive . Obviously I'd take Roby, Clark, Houghton before him but he's great for cas.

I think if Powell wins the GF with Cas and I don't think that is beyond the imagination he will be able to name is own salary .Remember this is not just a one off ,he did the spade work for Tony Smith at Leeds and he did a great job at Featherstone .He is already hot property
