| Absolutely appaling performance, woeful. We are a laughing stock at present.We will get hammered next week and again on Good Friday and I think that may well be it for Tony Smith. I was OK with the appointment, we needed an experienced head coach after a decade of appointing assistants but it's just not working out.
The recruitment has been terrible. Pele is a liability and we'll barely see him this season. Okunbor I gave a chance to but he's done nothing really and I take it he was replaced for tactical reasons.
Fair play to Tex Hoy for showing some spirit.

| Smith needs to go for me. Worst start to a season I can remember. Managed to snatch a win against London but other than that all we've done is leak 20+ points a game and offer no attack threat.
We have no structure what so ever.
A poor/small playing squad doesn't cut it for me either. Look at Salford as an example.

After 5 rounds averaging under 11pts for and over 32pts against per game tells the story of just how bad we are.

However when you are beat in that manner on your own ground then that cant be accepted. Regardless of the reasons, that simply is not good enough.
Pearson needs to shoulder alot of blame but ultimately this cant be accepted.'"
My thoughts exactly. There is absolutely no excuses for a performance like that. I thought Smith was a good appointment and given time he would improve us. There's nothing I've seen over the last 2 seasons that we are making any progress in fact we are worse now than Hodgson and Radford's last years.
The squad is simply not good enough but there's no excuse for lack of effort in defence and a clueless attack. The buck stops with Smith. Another thrashing and he'll have to go. The problem is can we afford to pay him off and who will replace him.

| Quote: Hasbag "The difference in support play between the 2 teams was huge. Leigh had players flooding through time and time again. I know that's easier done when you're massively on the front foot and not as fatigued. But look when both Brown and Hoy made breaks from deep. Not a Hull player in sight, just 3 Leigh players ready to tackle them.'"
For those old enough to remember it was like the Aussies against GB at Boothferry Park in 1982.
The gap in quality was immense.

| Just fail to understand why we were just not fired up today for a game at home against a team missing their 4 of their most influential player.
Instead we look like we aren’t prepared, ready or bothered in the slightest.
The training must be loving awful during the week if this is the sum total of it.

I have to wonder if there's been some trouble in camp as last week the effort was there. Houghton deciding to crouch down away from the bench when he got subbed off seemed off, like he was making a point.

| I haven't really questioned Smith's appointment until now either but I just don't see any signs of improvement whatsoever. I didn't think we could get much worse than the Hull KR and London performances but somehow we managed to be a lot worse today.
I just don't see where we are going as a club. I'd much rather bring in a young coach with some hunger and fresh ideas, strip the dead wood out of the squad, and build a side around the youth. We can't get relegated anyway. At least a team made up of mainly academy products would give us something to be interested in, because at the minute I'm really struggling to care. On what I've seen so far this is our worst team of the SL era, and I include the Hull Sharks days in that. We were very lucky to beat London, and had we lost that you would seriously we wondering where we were going to get a win this year.

| If (when) we lose on Good Friday it'll be the club's worst start to a Super League season since 2011. If we then lose the week after at home to Huddersfield it'll be the worst start since 1999.
