“It’s the most important coaching appointment in my time at Leeds”(words to that effect). He said before eventually appointing Smith.

He got it wrong.

when did he get it right last? macdermott? agar stepped into the breach and did well but was kept to long

Agar did not do well , he stank the place out

We will never move forward until the decisions at the top improve, which means GH has to go. Getting a new coach is just papering over the cracks of what is systemic failure throughout the club. GH's major rugby decisions like transfers and coach selection have been poor for about 6+ years, at this point it's just boring and played out. We can't move forward until someone with a better hit rate comes in. The only success we have will be fleeting because the man who is continually making poor decisions is the one trying to correct them, we're constantly trying to out run GH's mistakes. The biggest competition to success we currently face is internal within the club.

We can appreciate all that GH has done for us, but now he has to step back and put someone else in charge of major team decisions if we actually want to move forward and compete again.

Gawwy should have left years ago.

Similar sentiment.

The problems seem to run deep and go all the way to the top. Rohan is being blamed for the poor performances, but he is being allowed to fail the club and not being supported with sufficient recruitment.

GH has had his day, he needs to step aside and let someone new take the reigns. I've got plenty of respect for what he did in the mid-90's onwards for the club, but he is getting stale and it is affecting everything else.

Time for Gawwy to go.

One thing that struck me as odd about this week's presser was when Rohan was asked about Luke Brooks. His answer was something along the lines of "I can sleep easily when I say I know nothing about that." I did wonder if that was code for GH doesn't tell me anything.

It doesn't quite work like that, though, does it? It's reminiscent of the chants of 'sack the board' back in the 1990s. Fine, get rid of these people, and then what? Who do you replace them with?

he could stay as CEO.
just not get involved in recruitment

Bingo.

Will he make a public apology today for that performance, but still back Smith.
The supporters deserve one.

There should be a public apology statement from the club and also state what they are doing to sort it. I'm surprised there's not been one already..

Hetherington needs to act now, get Smith out of my club now and bring someone in who actually knows how to coach.

Yesterday was probably the lowest I've ever felt as a fan. Wakefield truly are the worst team in the history of SL and we lost to them convincingly.

HETHERINGTON OUT
Too old
Too out of touch
Too tight
