| Quote: christopher "As i say ultimately it might be another coach that benefits from the work in the background that Smith has done.
Look at KR, Uncle Tony went in and restructured everything and now Willy Peters (who i really rate by the way) is benefiting.
Ironically Tony Smith benefited from the work Daryl Powell did in clearing out the squad in his stint.'"
Fully agree that its often another coach that picks up the benefits of the work when such restructuring is required. My only point is that we shouldn't wait too long to make that call if it needs making. Perhaps it doesn't time will tell. That time in my book is after 12 rounds of the season.

| Quote: leeds owl "Rohan Smith wasn’t joking or quipping, he clearly said that training was over rated to certain senior pros. It makes me wonder whether that is a general theme running through week to week training.
R.S
He ‘clearly’ didn’t say that at all.
You do realise Lisone was actually training in Pre Season? And it was clearly a pithy remark to Jenna Brookes question.
But you carry on making up scenarios if you want.

He’s probably used his ears and eyes and looked at tje context of Rohan’s answer.

He clearly did say it. Or was he superimposed onto a screen with someone else’s voice dubbed over him ?

Personally i don’t think mid season sackings are great, unless we are in a world of pain.
If the club doesn’t think Rohan is the man long term I would manage the situation and get another coach in for start of pre season next year.
Sacking coaches puts you in the position of trying to find the right guy in a rush or just limping on with an assistant coach for half a year.
Mind you that would rely on Rohan accepting stepping down at the end of the year.
Anyway I think its daft to even be discussing it after a close loss away to Hull KR played on a cow patch. But I get the feeling it will be like this after every game, win or lose because some just want him out, just like Agar, just like Furner, Just like Mcdermott etc etc. it happens every year.

I said probably. Im sure he can answer himself anyway.
Got any other made up scenarios?

| Going to our last grand final and putting in a decent performance raised hopes for the club. Sadly we haven’t kicked on from that , so understandably it’s a frustrating time for fans. We have no god given right to be in the top four every season ,but along with saints and Wigan we are one of the biggest clubs in super league . Look at the attendance for the Salford game, not many clubs could produce that at the tail end of winter .

I get the frustration but honestly, two games into the season with half a new team? In crap conditions. And we've won one of the games.

| I dont think its the loss as much as seeing the same / similar issues as last year.
It feels familiar and that's frustrating.
In the big picture that game might not mean nothing, it will take time for the team to gel and we are super light ( not helped with poor balance in the pack), bad pitch etc.
Still, I'd have liked to see more structure,better kicking and to look like a team with a plan or one that can adjust to the conditions/ challenge of the game at the time.
Early days yet.

| Exactly, it is early days in this season.
And the 2 results we've had are irrelevant tbh.
But it's the performances that are still disappointing.
I don't see a plan, a structure, any cohesion or any identity.
Other teams just look better coached and organised than us.
RS has a lot of work to do on the coaching front.
If we finish outside the top 6, the excuse of "well, he's had to do a lot of rebuilding in the background" is just not acceptable.
Nonsense.
He's been backed and been allowed to bring in the players he wanted.
Time to deliver results now.
