Well, you got that injury diagnosis wrong a few weeks back so I think you're full of poop


Now please God private message me the Powell post you put on and also anything else you know

I'd say the 80k Would be dependant on is we keep Wardle or not. As we were looking for a halfback so will have had money available already, and if we don't get Wardle we'll have that wage extra as well. I'm not sure we can entice Clifford over and as he's still contracted to the knights for next season and the rumours he's homesick don't sound good, we'd also have to pay a fee for him. I hope it's sorted by November at the latest for a new half back, as Powell started pre season early last year in about the start of november so would prefer the halfback to be here for the start of it. I can't see us having more than maybe 2 players in the world cup so basically the whole squad should be ready to go for the start of pre-season.

I don't put spreading gossip to the gullible and betraying trust as valuable assets I admire. Mind you we are all different as I am sometimes reminded ... it is a forum. My views are as right/wrong as the next man.
Hope he enjoys his teasing and dishing out his grubby tit bits to our loyal supporters.

I think you're reading different posts than I am, well, definitely reading into Paul's posts something different to me.
Your sweeping statement that we're all gullible, and it's nothing more than gossip, teasing and grubby is unfair, as what Paul usually posts turns out to be true, and without information that he should not impart. As you've stated, it's an internet forum, and I'm surprised by your reaction, as I don't find him disingenuous.

Nothing at all to do with rugby or forums.
But basically if someone gives me information in confidence I don't go telling anyone. Would you?

This assumes that Paul's source has not agreed to him letting certain pieces of information be posted on this forum. I've no idea whether that's the case, or not.

I would have no qualms in putting out the type of information that Paul has, as there's nothing personal or insulting in the content, onto this forum. Should my source have specified to me that something must not be shared with this forum, my family, friends or whoever, then of course not. We cannot judge Paul, or anyone else that posts on this forum, as to whether they've broken a confidence, or not, without knowing the facts of their relationship, when were not party to it.

You are floundering a bit I'm afraid.
But it is a forum ... just my opinion.

No need to be afraid, I'm not floundering, just answering your question.

Anyhow...

I wonder if we are going to sign a controlling half back.

#PaulKnows. Or Gazwire.

You're picking enemies out of your own side. Stick to accountable managers!

It’s all good muckor. It’s an Internet forum, it’s not real.

Bullock. Not sure why though.

I'd expect one of either Philbin or Bullock to leave the club, Bullock ended the year pretty well, but maybe Powell see's Bullock as too similar to Kasiano and Mikaele as a low minute impact prop (although personally I'd say the same could be levelled at Philbin).

Bullock was the better of the 2 last year without a doubt, so for me Philbin would be the one to leave, he's been off the boil for 2 years, however I'm sure Powell's decision will also be based on how both fit in to his ethos as much as their performances.

I would have thought offloading a prop would be fairly easy, they seem in pretty high demand right now, I'd be surprised if Powell was looking to offload Holmes.

Re: the earlier mentioned provision of information from the club, I wouldn’t be too surprised if the information is accurate. Karl Fitzpatrick was in Warrington on Sunday night telling everyone that would listen, including me, that Powell has 6 games.

I don’t think the club is a fortress of protecting information, especially if the people at the top don’t protect it themselves.

Well that's where we are at the minute - unprofessional, maybe that's the kind of thing Amor was alluding to.

I know DallasMead has his one-man campaign but replacing KFP with a serious, experienced CEO wouldn't be the worst idea this club ever had. Fish, rot, head etc.

The guy is an absolute clown, promoted WAY above his experience and capabilities. Genuinely amazing and embarrassing that more people can’t see this?

Would you have draper back?

No, Draper was a used car salesman.

He was an experienced, high level sports ceo

So why did we get shot of him, only thing I had heard was he was a bit happy about spending money. If that’s the case Fitzpatrick seems to have wasted a lot.

Still is. Working wonders in the Middle East brokering Sports deals currently.

he would be a great appointment then, and possibly even a better appointment as RFL Chief Commercial Officer and Super League Executive Director,

Comparing Draper to KissKam as a CEO is akin to comparing a BMW to a Ford. You get what you pay for…..

So if KFP says Powell has six games, he’ll need to qualify that. Is it six wins? Six solid performances? Sounds like a throwaway quip to satisfy the masses. Not very professional. The best reply would have been to quietly smile while showing some empathy, and apologise for not being able to discuss club matters.

Maybe it’s best to leave former players to other roles in the business, such as player management. Making statements like that in public just defers blame and puts more pressure on the team.
