Well the way we were playing I never thought we would complete the comeback so I could understand if what Smith says is true.

We were completely void of structure, cohesion and confidence on Saturday - we just weren't on our game in all departments. Even the tries we scored to come back in the 2nd half were either luck or flashes of individual class.

Quote: Father Ted "Yes Smith is truly great coach. Look how fantastically well England did in the World Cup under his coaching skills!
Warrington are not in the top eight and he has lost three of his last six league matches.
Now Nathan Brown, that's a great coach for you!
As for Smith being worried, why would he be?
At 24-8 up at half time he knew they only needed to score once and we wouldn't come back and win. They did, 32-8 and we didn't come back to win. I never, ever thought we'd win after that first half. Why on earth would Smith think they would lose?'"


Will be interesting to see what Smith does for us next season when he has had a full pre-season and also brought in a few of his own players..

Agree about Nathan Brown, is doing a fantastic job at Huddersfild.

He'll have been bricking em. For the Wire fans - does he normally make his way to the touchline with 15 to go? He did on Saturday.

At 32-26 had we not knocked on from the kick off I think we'd have at least taken it to golden point. We gave them field position and Briers dropped a goal. Game over.

Smith generally comes down to the touchline with 10 or 15 minutes to go.

For what its worth after seeing us fail so many times, even when we scored the first try in the second half I was still nervous that we would capitulate.

Only wire can be that far in front and still have the speccys bums twitching.

2 points behind Wigan despite having no real coach for the first 5 games, do winning percentage since he's been here and we pis.s allover most teams. It' srefreshing to see the bitterness is still oozing out of most of you.

Laughable, I'm not bitter about losing to Wire, we lost two years ago to Catalan. On Both occaisions we were beaten by the better team. That's sport!
As for Smith I don't rate him one bit, in fact I think he's bloody awful!
In the World Cup he couldn't get players to play anything like their club form. His attack was clueless, defence not worthy of the description and the players were totally demotivated and looked like they didn't want to be there. That is all the fault of Smith and his management team out there.
Smith's performance in the WC was an utter disgrace and no one I speak to can understand why he's still in the job.


Leeds are now the most penalised club in SL according to sky. They aren't doing anything different to when Smith was in charge its just that the refs have at last caught up with them. Wire are now coming up with more "professional" fouls than ever. This happened at Hudds when Smith was there and at Leeds as well when he was in charge. Now its going on at Wire. I just think Smith is dreadful.

Can't disagree with the World cup comments, we were a sham. Maybe the players didn't take to Smith's strict code of conduct whilst there. Who knows?

As for blaming Smith for for Leeds' current penalty situation after having left nearly a season and a half ago is stretching it a bit, don't you?

We are currently tenth in penalties conceded, so we can't be that bad.

Not seen them on sale at Sainsbury's in Warrington, so how much per pound are those sour grapes in Wigan?

Sour Grapes?
Just read my first paragraph again!
As for Smith, so you think his world cup performance as coach was good do you? He is responsible for getting English Rugby League humiliated, he should not be in the job, end of!

Wayne bennett could coach england and we would get battered. Our players are just not up to the aus/nz standard. TS got to 3 grand finals in 4 years at leeds and has got a club to the cc final in a short period in charge. I love having a dreadful coach with that record.
