| Not what we need at this moment in time.
I've been a critic of Radford but he seems to be turning things round at the moment. He deserves a bit of slack now.

Unless we have an off day, we will do the double over them.

We certainly should but there's always the chance we're under par and they over perform, particularly on their patch

And the answer really isn't Brian Smith. Why do you think that Wakey is the only gig he can get?
He was good for us over 20 years ago but he won us nowt, precisely the same as he's won any other club he's been coaching at

I wouldn't even go that far. Brian Smith's time came and went a long time ago.
As much as I still have my doubts about Radford's ability as a coach and more importantly, as a manager; Brian Smith ain't what we need.

| Brian Smith is the best coach that I have seen at our club. There hasn't been a single coach since that has had such an impact since.
I hope those questioning his ability are correct as we'll need all th help we can get in the middle 8.

John Kear won more in a year than any other coach since Bunting. You need to stay lost.

Must have been difficult to see buried under all those trophies. He's not the answer, if indeed there's a question.
The rose tinted view of him nearly 30 years after the event is pretty grim reading. What's his trophy record like?

Lets see IF Smith can improve Wakefield's performances, with the same squad that he has inherited from a previous coach.
How do you know, he isnt the answer?? he hasnt even arrived here yet.
There was a question on Radford's ability, a few weeks ago, I personally feel he's taken us as far as he can, thats my opinion.
Kudos to Wakefield, who've realised that employing unproven Asst Coaches,who've not learnt under an experienced Head Coach doesnt work..not until they've served a lengthy apprenticeship, with the foundations in place.
Lets put things into perspective, its far harder to win a NRL Grand Final
than to win a major final in the UK. the calibre of players & teams is of a higher standard over there.
I'd rather have Brian Smith overseeing our youth than Lee Radford.

Imagine getting sacked and then your mate texting you asking you to sort him out with your old job.....shows a lack of tact
