Looking at Leeds Live and even Peter Smith in the YEP its hard to see anything other than Rohan moving on. I wouldn't be surprised if he stays the week though. I get the issue of becoming the focus of negativity on the day to remember Rob Burrow, but if he quits/is sacked before that game it would make the coach the focus of the run up to the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if GH steps in to read the riot act to players regardless. They need to be on notice - now is not the time to be putting in a half-arsed performance, even if they want a new coach.

At least if Smith has gone and the players stink the place out again there's just likely to be some disappointment rather than vitriol which would be horrible on such an important occasion.

It would make the whole occasion a farce exposing Hetherington even more as the incompetent recruiter.
Blease needs to be told to sack Smith on Monday and start as you mean to go on. No sentiment whatsoever.

I would rather see one of the serving ladies from catering being given a chance than have to listen to the incoherent ramblings of Smith one more time.

He will never be a coach while he has a hole in his backside
