| Surprised tbh, all the noises seemed to be about backing him.
Talk of further restructuring, wonder what form that will take.
On balance probably the right decision as we have gone backwards under Tony but I'd be fascinated to hear his honest, unvarnished views on what was/is wrong and how he planned to fix it.

| Thank goodness for that
I advocated this for some time
They’re not playing for him
Anyone is better than Tony Smith and Gene !
Grix gets a go for the rest of the season
What can we lose

| I just dont get it, on paper he was what should have being needed.
Every club hes gone to they have improved, KR wouldnt be where they are now without his couple of seasons. Its just fc all over that he couldnt make anything work here.
People may say he lost his magic but just before he came to us he transformed KR from bottom place to attending semi finals in the league and cup.
Baffles me how it hasnt happened here.
For me still alot that needs to go.

All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

My thoughts too. It’s a PR move to try and salvage recruitment. Just hope it’s taken them a few days because they were lining up a replacement.

| The change in tone is very surprising, I wouldn't be shocked if player power has pushed him out off the back of Hoy's imminent departure.

150% agree with this.
Regardless he would have took us to the top or not, the way the players just fall out with a coach and get them sacked is appalling.

It’s the fans that got him sacked. He was OOC at end of season and Pearson knew he couldn’t extend him with how we’re playing. It would’ve been suicide. Subsequently he’s having to sack him with the aim of getting a new coach in to control recruitment.

The fans havent conceded 204 points in 4 games.

| Had to happen something had to give, players not innocent but he had to go and glad Stanley gone too. A certain injured prop with a mullet at the club rates Grix highly but hopefully we appoint a new man, its the biggest appointment in the clubs history IMO. Rowley for me as Macca won't leave Catalans and AP won't pay the money. No rush to appoint IMO need to make sure we get the right man.

| I’ve been told on good authority that Adam wants out, but no doubt be happy to take his wage until somebody does buy the club. Sad state of affairs.

Absolutely right. The last thing we need is a knee jerk reaction leading to another bad appointment. Nothing is going to happen results wise and we can't be relegate so they should take their time and make an appointment that will change things.

The players aren’t downing tools though, they’re just not good enough. And smiths reluctance to wrestle has capitulated that.
