Spot on Bully, the club needs a complete revamp from the very bottom all the way through to the SL squad. Brian Smith, by reputation, will not only arrest the slide but will also instigate systems that will set the club up for the future.
What he needs is an assistant coach who can learn from him in the same way Matty Elliott, Brian Noble, Ian Millward etc did during his time at Hull, Bradford, Illawarra etc.
He will have far far more pulling power on players down under than any of our previous coaches and will also know the right players to recruit.
I'm very happy with this appointment, time will tell though.
