Who was the last international you brought through to that point? Horne? Yeaman? You've got a history of getting future superstars bigging them up then systematically destroying them. Lane was going yo be a future captain, Davy Litten was being lauded last year, now the majority want rid of both.
Your youth will go one of 2 ways, either struggle and be bit part / championship players or be good and leave.

Think you forget this is Smiths second season here and based on team performance,poor recruitment and results during his time here he deserves to be sacked.
The point i was trying to make was if we were without a coach, the players or in fact an amateur coach could not have done any worse than Smith.
we dont know what happens in the dressing room but the lack of real effort on the field seems to demonstrate that the players have had enough of Smith.
Whether thats the way players should react is debatable but one thing is clear Smith needs to go.

Cruelly transparent.

When was last time you brought a young player through apart from the gob£hite lewis.As for youth….we play ours…what about you???oh yeah…you buy…you’d sooner buy Burgess and Reynolds than back your youth

is pearson really backing youth or has he had a lot of loyal supporters pants down,hes no choice but to play them

Majority want rid of Lane & Litten??
Where’s that come from?
Apart a handful of posters on here being hyper critical of lane
I don’t know of anyone that wants them gone.

If anything , Fans would be more inclined to see Litten back at in the 17 .

big mistake not to play Litten at full back against Huddersfield and move Hoy to six to partner Charles.
After all when Walker is fit he will play full back and Hoy will either be moved to six or out of the team so would have been a good time to try out that combo.
Something new needs to be tried as Smith as a halfback is just not good enough

I think we'll persevere with Smith in the halves until Trueman is back . Isn't is twice now Hoy has had the shepherds crook and dropped from the team ?

Tex Hoy's dad not holding back in replying to the club's Instagram posts on the game

"No structure, no systems chopping and changing playing mind games, good way to coach a team" [followed by a thumbs up and a middle finger salute

"Lets see how many of the off contract players resign if the out of date no structure no systems bloke playing mind games with players the club and media is still there"

I do.
