I realise it's not a popular suggestion. He did well at Leeds earlier in his career and he turned Fev into a team that was challenging for promotion
He transformed Cas from a yo yo side into League leaders. His teams generally play an exciting brand of Rugby. Yes he has failed to get over the line In finals but we are a million miles from that atm.

Leeds fans singing about being' on our way to Old Trafford' in recent games. Certainly heard it when you played at Stains.

Any chance of letting us know which Old Trafford you mean as you're so poor you've spent most of the season outside the play off spots and your crap football club got relegated last season so they won't be pitching up at Old Trafford either.

Powell is dreadful. Smith might not be the answer either as it looks but Powell showed in the last few months how a coach can create a toxic unhappy environment.

Shut up dckhead.

Yes that comment is a bit of a concern if he meant it.
Maybe he does not like to criticise the team in public which is commendable, but I hope he gives them a right rollicking in private because they deserve it

Only thing Paul Caddick needs to get out of his pocket is 2 x p45s Hethrington is self serving and Smith is delusional.

He’s not daft but he isn’t the type of coach to throw his players under the bus, that’s just who he is, he could do a powell and critise them but that didn’t really help powell or his team, im not a fan of publicly shaming players

Yep agreed. Bagging your players in public rarely improves morale.

He is right that there were some good aspects but my word that was turgid to watch today.

Maybe some of the fans were singing it when we took the lead at Saints only to come unstuck.
Not sure what Leeds United getting relegated has anything to do with today`s game.
I think the majority of fans know we have been poor but thanks for reminding us.

It’s been obvious since after the first 6 weeks this season that it was going nowhere under Smith. How can you go from the upturn last season to regression with a full pre-season and some recruitment? If things get worse the more time and influence someone has, it’s not a good sign.

I tried repeatedly to point this out, only to be met with “but look at Powell and Warrington”. We can now see how utterly stupid,
misguided, and wrong that was.

Look at Peter Smith at Hull 06-07. Same trajectory.

People keep trying to make this into a long drawn out process as well. “It’ll need until 2030 to sort this out, blah blah”.

Just hire a top coach who makes existing players better and makes good recruitment decisions. It’s amazing how quickly things turn and move forward rapidly simply from having a top coach.

Oh Yeah.

Not a chance I would want Powell at our club.
That ship sailed many years ago and he has done little else to warrant a return.
The only ex coach I would have back is Tony Smith at a push.
Rohan Smith is here for the duration unless he thinks the same as us and is not getting the players he needs and he decides to walk away.
Also delighted Mulhern had a good game yet again.

These are the kind of games as a leigh fan we used to lose, never got out of second gear today, made too many changes (understandably) and looked to be going through the motions attack wise, defensively much improved from against Wigan but not having to defend against French and Field helps.

Overall a forgettable game that leigh did the bare minimum to win.

Beaten by Leeds rejects??.. Have a word with your coaching staff, sounds like the big problem lies there.
