| It’s good, the next episode will be better. It confirmed to me that Smith was out of his depth, he couldn’t see the need for changing his approach when he’d been worked out by the other coaches. Some of the criticisms of him about passive defence were not correct, he had a different plan for sure, around defending kicks etc. but the fact that we couldn’t see what he was trying to achieve must suggest the players were at least a bit confused by it too.
Looking forward to seeing BA arrive, we suspected he stripped back everything to basics and this will show if we were right. RL is a simple game, over complicated by those who don’t see the need to work harder than the opposition to win.

| Rohan is painfully lost in the post game meeting footage.
You can almost see Gary cringing in the background at one point.

| Second episode confirmed again that Smith was a long way out of his depth. I get that you can edit things to make certain stuff appear, but the silence in the changing rooms, the speech by a clearly very frustrated Rhyse Martin, Cam telling the team that he’s sick of hearing it, they all point to a coach who cannot get a hold of the team and narrative.
I’m bursting to see the next one with BA, I think you’ll see a completely different approach.

Couldn't agree more, nothing interesting in there at all. Everyone just watching it and seeing what they want to believe. Pointing to the speech by Martin and Smith as a failure of Rohan Smith; they're senior players I'd expect them to be making speeches.

| So you think a senior pro, going so openly and vocally against what the coach is saying in the dressing room after another thumping defeat is a rousing approval of the coaches tactics and appraisal of performance?

It's far more interesting than watching a winning team. Looking forward to the episodes with Arthur for comparison. Will give us a good insight into next season.

| I'd argue that even the most ardent Rohan fans will watch that and say he looked lost.

| Fascinating watch, and I'm assuming it will be the most interesting of the series.
In many ways, it does confirm a lot of things. RS doesn't seem too bad when things are on the up, and there's decent performances. I wouldn't say anyone watched episode 1 and thought he looks completely incompetent.
As displayed in episode 2, he just didn't have any ability galvanise the team and pull them out of a hole. In fact, he seemed too pre-occupied on trying to be positive than making players accountable.
I think strong teams need to have key players and coaches that players want to play for. We seemed to be lacking a bit of both under RS. We need the players to step up next season in this regard too.

What would you want to see included?

| Something actually interesting that we haven't seen before. It's a behind the scenes documentary - why didn't they show us the conversations around Rohans departure between those involved and the subsequent search for a new coach for instance.
A real missed opportunity. I can see why they didn't want to show all, which in my opinion is an enormous miss, but other sports such as football, have really given a true behind the scenes reflection of how clubs operate over a season. I don't think, as Leeds fans, we have particularly learned much from the first two episodes.

I can remember watching some footage of Rohan talking to the team at half time when they were losing and i was really shocked at how poor he came across when trying to motivate the team, he was really odd in the way he was delivering his message and just didn't expect it.. i thought he'd be much tougher.

| Yeah overall the documentary has been rather disappointing. It’s largely just an extended rehash of the behind the scenes that they put on YouTube. Most of the successful behind the scenes documentaries have had real behind the scenes conversations like what happens in the managers office. It’s fine for a freebie with membership but i did expect more.
