I also think Smith needs the opportunity to see first hand the poor attitude of some of the playing squad, it seems from listening to players who have played under him you have to work hard and are held accountable if not. The suspect players are not talentless as they have shown they can indeed play if/when they can be arsed and its possible that Smith can get these players to buy in to what hes doing and enjoy the rugby.
At least with Smith he is experienced at turning clubs around and particularly players that have under performed so we have to give his a chance.
Agreed. I suspect there will be some ins and outs before the season starts.
Are the players officially holiday now until November?
