Watching the press conference yesterday I was amazed just how like his father and uncle he is in the way he thinks and articulates. If his coaching is half as good as Brian when at Hull and the Bulls and Tony at Leeds then we will be on to a winner. I particularly liked the way he praised the work of JJB and indicated that change will not be an overnight thing. Man management is key to getting the extra bit out of players and the Smith’s excel in this department.
I really believe things are on the up.
Yes the Journalists at the press conference apart from the BBC and the YP were awful.

I think the positive is every team barring Saints are extremely average. Leeds with a full side and playing well can easily beat any team barring Saints.


Saints are starting to pick up some key injuries - they may not have it all their own way this year. In fact I think Wigan will dump them out of the cup this weekend.

Interesting to hear that Rohan has in the past served as a last tackle play coach amongst other roles.

No more dying in possession on the last hopefully. Drove me mad under Agar.

Agreed.

Hard to know whether this was game plan, or Leeming being too dominant at acting half. He always seems to go for a run play, rather than pass the ball over the a half.

But I agree, hopefully this will be an area of large improvement. Rohan has been a coach of all aspects of the game during his long apprenticeship, so there's no excuses for improvements across the park.

Hopefully not - John the Baptist does far too much looking over his shoulder at what the club was. That was a unique situation that cannot be recreated. Unfortunately he only knows Leeds at that will be a limiting factor to the development of the squad if he has a big influence. Time to move onwards and upwards.
