How much longer do we have to pretend that we're progressing under him?

W 28 L 25

It's an Agar level win rate, but without a Challenge Cup win and some of the most expensive transfers in our history added to his squad.

Glad tonight was a freebie

Like it or not Smith will not be sacked before season end or even before his contract is up.

Unfortunately that I do know. He was a cheap alternative to a good coach. He is just not upto coaching at this level.

I actually like the style Smith is ‘trying ‘ to play. The problem is he doesn’t seem to realise we don’t have the basics, or toughness to give a good base for that style of play. Was embarrassingly easy for Walmsely and co, then the backs are left with trying to pull off miracle plays……

Who was the good coach that was too expensive then

All of them probably

It was the first out and out poor performance of the year.

Not many of our players turned up today for more than the odd glimpse. Before the inevitable rounding on individuals, show me one Leeds player who had a good game. Ackers?

Draw a line under this one.

It'll all be right when Fus is back in

Again what do you see in Oledski?

Yup. With no foundation, we become extremely flaky, and it becomes pretty much impossible to throw the ball around. When that happens, Smith's rugby becomes incredibly boring one man rugby which we are horrible at because the pack is so weak, or we start resorting to extremely gimmicky high risk attacking plays.

I don't think it's a coincidence that two teams that keep winning the division play nothing like us and have real robust forward packs. We can't even do the basics.

I said the exact same thing about 5 years ago when Leeds fans were claiming he was already better than Walmsley.

He’s absolute trash.

It’s becoming increasingly obvious. Sad to say it as I wanted Smith and the team to work out………

Hey, leave him alone ! He’s the only decent prop we’ve got. :

Has anyone ever seen Sangare make more than one meter. It was an all round bad performance again. Six games and in and 33 minutes of playing well .

We should win 4 of the next 5. The spine will start to gel. Mom will get better.
4 proper props plus Goudemand is the way. O’Connor and 2 smallish second rowers doesn’t work
