Quote: KaeruJim "Newman, Handley, Cam Smith, McDonnell, Martin and some others have all played well consistently under Smith / played well this year.
What has been consistent IMO is silly errors. I can’t honestly put my finger on why
Outsider looking in, Smith is coaching a team with very little basic structure to fall back on when under pressure. Last season he tried to play expansive rugby from anywhere on the pitch worked for a short period but the percentages for consistent success is low.
.
The likes of Wigan, Saints and Catalan have great basic defensive structures with controlled attacks, it looks as though Warrington have joined the party as well this season.
.
Leeds play too much off the cuff rugby which can break down quickly and they end up under pressure. Hull KR and Salford are similar but perhaps do it a little bit better because of team work, Leeds don't look like a "togetherness team" and Rohan Smith is responsible for that.
