His team lost to Cas last night

He works wonders with our cast offs and our new signings

I said Smith was a year ago and all I got was “it’s a 30 year project, he needs time”.

“One loss doesn’t define our season” (after every loss, every wee).

He’s crap. The rugbys crap. No one really improves under him. The run in 2022 is the exception. Why defer to a small sample size over the bigger one when he’s had more time and signings?

Get him out of the club now.

Everybody criticised Agar but are we any better under Smith ?
As others have mentioned the only tactics appear to be a lobbed kick to the wing, interceptions, Newman to produce some magic or Handley go the full length of the pitch,who we badly missed when he went off injured.
Who would replace Smith though, as non of the current top 5 teams coaches would want to come and no chance of a proven experienced Aussie.

Gary needs to be sounding out replacements and seeing when they can start. We need an experienced coach, someone who can put structure into the playing side of the club, we’ve seen what a kid with an iPad can do, let’s get someone who understands how the game is played not some theoretical how it should be played chancer. He needs to be replaced by the best available coach, its the one area where there is no salary cap.

I would agree with all the above - the tragedy is no decent coach especially from the NRL will come to Leeds. Compare and contrast the quality of coaches at Saints compared to Leeds. Holbrook and Wolfe were barely known outside of the inner sanctum of the NRL. Yet Saints managed to spot them and recruit them. Leeds simply don't possess that skill level in spotting this talent.

I have asked this before why are we not able to bring top coaches through the system like Wellens or Peat or Wane. The development at Leeds of both players and coaches is woeful.

I dunno, success is complex. Watching last night, I just didn’t feel our side is good enough still. We obviously lack size in the middle and pace out wide - Roberts is really a centre and Frawley is too slow for a half.

I think RS will be under lots of pressure if we lose the next few. Huddersfield isn’t a walk-in win. He’s also under pressure if the players don’t back him.

There are glimmers of good stuff happening at Leeds but it is pretty depressing we aren’t better by now.

Our side may not be good enough to win the league but they are a better set of players than they are showing under Smith. That is the main issue for me. He isnt getting the best out of the players, and hasnt for over a year.

That’s because Hetherington does the “talent spotting” when he bobs off to Australia for his annual holiday paid for by the club otherwise known as the supporters money from season tickets and look what Hetherington has produced as a result.

Old saying. BUY CHEAP BUY TWICE

Smith will never be a decent coach and Leeds will never thrive again in this new era until Hetherington is removed

He's only got a small budget to work with, but at least Salford are entertaining to watch, that can't be said for Leeds at the moment.

How much longer are we going to have to put up with this dross? Even under Furner we weren't this bad. Warrington played at 90 mph unlike leeds cart horses. What do short kick offs gain? Probably 12 points conceded that's what. Complete lack of any ideas or or skill. It was embarrassing. What the hell do the the caching staff do all week? Because the team can't run,catch,kick,or tackle. Smith said we weren't as bad as the score suggests. Was he watching the same game. Shocking absolutely shocking.
