Quote *1865*="*1865*"Anybody who thinks Brian Smith is the answer is deluded, does nobody remember his last coaching role at the Roosters?
You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you think he'll replicate anything near what he did first time here, the games changed immeasurably since then.'"
So...
The person who tutored Trent Robinson,Tony Smith,Daniel Anderson,Potter,Morgan ,Taylor etc ..you dont think, could instill foundations for this club?.for an assistant to take over at a later date.
The Roosters sent Robinson to Catalans to see, if he could cut it as Head Coach, with Smith's son as Conditioner.
When they realised he could, the hierarchy wanted to move Smith to DOR,Smith refused the position.
Realistically... Pearson wont even appoint an attack coach to the existing staff.
so paying compensation for Powell or Smith is a distant dream - IMO
