Not sure Rowley is capable without financial backing.

I don't understand Brian Smith., He was on very good money at Wakefield. He has no immediate prospect of becoming an NRL coach. In fact he is unlikely to become an NRL head coach ever again. Yet he is forfeiting hundreds of thousands of pounds by walking out on his Wakefield contract. Weird!

Oh J.C. you do make me smile.

To get to the truth of why he packed his bags, all you have to do is ask the right question .

Oh well, it gives the club time to employ a new coach to sort the team out during the pre-season, ready for the middle eights.

Probably just had enough and saw it as a lost cause, what we saw of the Wakefield Players last night I think the best coach in the NRL would struggle.

Agree with your points about the players.

The four coaches we've had since John Kear have all lacked something - passion. Agar was only here through his pal Elston, Wbetser wasn't really ready, Dickens (how he still has a job is beyond me) is a joke, and Smith, despite having more money then his predecessor, has called quits because he lacks the heart and courage for the fight ahead.

I agree but I still think it's very poor of Smith. If he didn't fancy it for 2016 he should've left at the end of 2016 and at least given Wakefield time to get another coach in for pre-season.
Or he should've stuck with his decision until the end of this season.
