Whilst some of the performances have been at times questionable this year you have to remember that we were dealt a big blow when Eastwood had to miss the season due to beaurocracy. We haven't in effect replaced Ellis in anyway yet we continue to be in 2nd place. I'm not sure we will retain the championship however the fact that everytime we have a defeat we seem to call for the coaches head seems far fetched to me. Let's see what happens at the end of next season when we should have Eastwood in the squad and you never know we could have won the fourth championship in a row!!

...Me thinks we are being hasty!!!

No, just the slowcoach who gave away four penalties would get dropped.

It is because in 2006 he WAS given an under-strength squad to work with. He had NO forwards. But his team wasn't as ill disciplined as this one.

Still, at least you gave Smith your whole-hearted support back then and throughout 2007, like you're doing with Mclennan eh.................

i supported smith till mid 2007. he did a great job but it was time for a change.
as for lack of forwards did smith have a choice in the matter? does bluey now?
who decides the signings?
the discipline frustrates me as much as anyone and it needs to be sorted.last night it was ok till tiredness set in. the forwards were dominant in the first half but were hammered in the second.they have played most weeks,there is nobody to rotate with.the loss of ellis and scruton is starting to hit home alyhough he could,and should have played worrell somewhere along the line.

for me the game was lost in the first half when we should have been 20 points up at the break

This I agree with.
