Too true.

But we spend our time bickering on forums. . . . So we all kind of look silly!!

Well I feared the worst. I thought we’d end up with Bobbie Goulding as player coach and Ferres saying he’d got a us a passionate coach and a scrum half rolled into one.

As it is we seem to have got one of the most highly rated assistant coaches in the NRL. Really we couldn’t do much better. He should really shake things up and will be bringing the latest thinking and methods with him. He’s got heaps of experience for such a young bloke and should be a great mentor for our younger lads coming through. If I was in the U16s or U19s I’d be very much looking forward to learning from him.

Excellent appointment,well done to all, who firstly had the foresight to even look at Smith,but actually land him.
New era just about to start and can't wait to see which half back he signs first.
You can't ask for more than this as we sit in the championship.You can bet SMITH has already tapped up an ozzie/kiwi half back.
Onwards and upwards from here in my opinion.

I may well be wrong, but doesn't this mean Smith's first game will be vs Leigh at Blackpool?

More likely Sheffield away in a fortnight.

Cheers, that's probably for the best if so.

I do hope he has NOT tapped anyone up. That is not allowed.

Many thanks for the advice and the concern. Just seen my GP and he confirms my diet and testosterone levels are fine. He says to consult Frank Whitcombe next time I seek accurate predictions.
The appointment of Smith augurs well for the future. Marc Green has once again surprised us - in a good way. It might be too late to turn around this season but he will have a decent time to assess this squad ( perhaps especially the youngsters) and build for next season.

I smiled when he said he will quickly assess the players we have. Can you imagine his face when he says to Feress "can you set up an appointment for me to chat to our first and second choice scrum half".

What do people think about our chances now for this season. Is it too late to have a real shot at promotion or are we now realistically looking at rebuilding in the winter for next season.
I think we could see a big improvement within a month but am not sure all the current players are good enough.
It all depends if he can bring in a handful of better players and make way for them in some way.
What is the chance of him persuading Gaskell to stay - unless he knows an outstanding No 6 down under that he can also bring in next year.
Very interesting few months ahead and all of a sudden the atmosphere has improved dramatically. well done Mr Green and Co.

This.
