Whilst we have no doubt that he is a top coach, is he the right man for England? Hugely technical, is this what the elite England players need? Surely they are all aware of the game and their individual style of play.
Wouldnt we be better at this level with a Bluey style coach, who's mantra is spirit, team togetherness and pride?
The facts are that England have underperformed under Smithy. Will he be coach after the four nations?

You dont say Einstein.
Quote: Head High Tackle "In 4 years at Leeds he did what no other coach had done for 32 years....TWICE.
With the best group of players Leeds have ever had (his record should have been better - he managed to fook up countless opportunities), shame his record at Huddersfield also sucked, maybe that had something to do with how poeple see him.
Quote: Head High Tackle "Is he a tw@? Probably! His brother is for sure so no doubt he is too.
Is he, isnt he, that is the question, I know from hearing first hand what players thought of him, he is an arrogant .
Quote: Head High Tackle "Do I give a f*** if he's a tw@. NO. He did well for Leeds and Not if he makes England competitive either (and going within 10 points of the winners in the 2008 world cup is competitive if you ask me. Australia didnt get THAT close)
