I agree, he did a great job. We improved every week he was in charge.

Great post. Spot on

I’ve watched Broadbent closely this year and he’s looked to me a looooong way off the required standard. Looks way off in his development.

He’s posting on social media so assuming he’s either banned or not bothering posting

Missed the last two games. Who should we be dropping?

By the sounds of it I would be dropping Tetevano. Bring in Holroyd and Mustapha. Can't do any worse.

Think if Johnson is fit, then Dwyer is out. Would we have Sinfield over Leeming at half back?

Think Fusitua and Myler can be forgiven after a while out.

Would also point out that our dead cat bounce happened to coincide with games against a freefalling Hull kr and Toulouse. Anyone expecting an encouraging win v wakey being followed by the usual anticlimax the week after? Our team simply ain't all that good.

Tetevano is stealing a wage. Needs to go end of season unless he picks up big time. One of the biggest flops ever. Up there with Bradley Clyde and Brett Mullins

I thought Broadbent played well in his first few appearances barring Saints, looked one of our most threatening attacking wise. Didn't see the KR match or todays though. Shame if his defence isn't up to it as I like him in attack.

O'Connor did a spell at dummy half today. He did OK but you would expect johnson to get a chance there 1st. Although O'Connor is generally an excellent defender, so whether that has persuaded Smith to give him an opportunity there first I'm not sure.

I did warn last week about discarding the younger players and bringing back from long absences players who have failed all season . Now is the time to be brave and bold and give more players from the reserves a chance they may struggle but Mr Smith will have more information about them next season when most of the senior players will be leaving. The first action must be appointing Gannon captain immediently which may prevent him being poached by the NRL.

Just what Gannon needs at 18 and doing well making his way in the game, 'here you go lad bit more weight for your shoulders, captain us out of this mess would you?'

At this point I'd be worried about losing Oledski. Being whipped every game and carrying our pack won't make him want to stay

I was referring to his much quoted lack of vocabulary and trying to use words that have no relevance.
I wasn`t talking about his coaching faults even though he has had no SL experience he did well to rally the players and get the team spirit back.

Lack of vocabulary? He has an excellent vocabulary, used in the most bizarre ways. He basically converts preaching sermons from Church to team talks. All delivered with great passion and enthusiasm. I loved listening to him talking and disappointed not to be hearing more……

I imagine that performance will have led to some players' cards being marked straight away. Smith has been very diplomatic so far but I think he has to show some real steel straight away, as this group of players just keeps turning in terrible performances with no consequences. You'd make allowances for long-term absentees being rusty and give them a few weeks, and some of the younger players deserve a run before discarding them, but what excuses do any of the others have?

We need a huge clearout at the end of this season, although the need for change is so great I can't see us doing enough in one off-season to make us genuine competitors. We're poor in way too many areas and the constant re-signing of hacks and laughable recruitment of overseas players has left us in an awful mess.
