Quote ="ninearches"If ,as we have heard ,some other antipodeans are restless to go home post McGuire , i think Powell should exclude them from the team & pick a team which is at least singing from the same hymn sheet. Put a game plan together round them ,any Aussies that want to stay & whatever academy players are available & that would be the team against Saints. Drop the rest & get them plane tickets asap. Perhaps too radical for the Wire though.'"
And when our side, consisting of several untried academy players, inevitably got bummed by 50 or 60 pts, this forum would just tell us how much it was Powell's fault....
