There were definitely calls of we've signed the cheaper Smith coach at the time both on here and on the terraces, it's 20 years ago, sorry if I can't find or remember the exact posters names
Tony Smith had done nothing of note at all when he joined us, he inherited a side that had got to a CC final and just missed out on getting to the Grand Final, had a core of once in a generation players and some very good experienced pros.
Comparing Rohan and Tony at this stage of their respective Leeds coaching careers, is pointless, and even if you did I'd say Rohan's achievement last year of taking a side in 11th to a GF was equal to Smith's first year at Leeds, simply due to the circumstances.
