| The bigger question is - can Leeds provide a platform for a top coach to enhance his reputation - if not they wont be interested.

No bigger club or platform than Leeds , it is crying out for Rowley and will take him to hero worship and beyond , The money is available and he can pick a player and improve players , everything is in place for the right man .

If only that were true - the culture at the club seems poor - that is going to take some turning around and with the likes of JJB lurking in the background is this a club you would want to join? This is not Saints or Wigan where the winning culture exists and they have a conveyer belt of young talent.

| I am concerned that when we finally do get the balls to remove Rohan, that Christopher etc. will give the next coach three years before deciding whether he is good coach or not as it won't be his team or signings.

| That's not really fair. Christopher - as with many of us - were hoping that Smith might be the long term answer, and also recognized that the squad he inherited was awful. I still think last year was partly down to having a team on the field that was going to get culled at the end of the year, and managing that was no easy task. What we're seeing now though is that performances are sagging back to the worst of last season, despite on paper being a much stronger squad.
Wat we cannot do if we bring in a new coach is remove focus off junior development. We've got a bunch of younger players who look really exciting, and they need to be brought on. That's a difficult balancing act if the focus for a new coach is to win at all costs.

| Handley, Fus, both prior international wingers out. Newman out. Momirovski injured second half. Holroyd out.
It's not just the players we're missing, it's the disruption it causes when we have to shift other players around. Roberts is not a winger. Martin is not really a centre.
I'm not saying we shouldn't be playing better despite that because we should. But there is a link between injuries and performance and results. And injuries are not the fault of the coach.
For me there are a few things happening at the same time. Injuries have definitely affected us again this year, in pre-season and in-season.
I think our ruck is rubbish on the whole; that is a coaching issue mostly, also a player-driven issue because if the technique isn't there in your mid-20s, are you ever going to get it?
The other thing for me is that I still think we are 2-3 star players off a good side. We still lack quality. To some extent, I think we have plugged a couple of holes we had, especially with Croft. However we have also got kindof what we expected: a Reserve grade 7 and a maverick 1 who makes mistakes.
Seen flashes of quality from Momirovski but he's had injuries too (consistent with his history in NRL...). Ackers I've actually been a little disappointed with so far, he is obviously a high quality player but I don't think he's found his feet yet, probably because we lose the ruck or fail to get into good ball so much of the time.

| When you've got your entire first choice spine available and 3 of your first 4 props available there really is no excuse for the level of shte served up yesterday even factoring in the 3/4s missing. Hull were missing more significant players , are crap and we still limped our way to 2 points. Smith has to go.

| Anybody would think other teams do not suffer injuries the way some people talk on here and I get sick to death with that excuse. Look at Salford with other teams cast offs, what's the difference, they have a decent coach.
The best coaches get the results with what goes on the pitch that day, regardless of the team.
Smith does not get the best regardless whether a first choice team never mind one with injuries.

| Of course the coach has lots to do with getting any group of players to perform to their potential, but lots of you on here struggle to hold two things true at the same time and you’re way too binary in your thinking. Of course injuries affect performances, it’s a nonsense to think otherwise.
