Quote pmarrow="pmarrow"100% it is in my opinion.
Hes created a culture of player power IMO and mismanaged the salary cap.
When you think Smith had to give away our best player to sign a scrum half tells you the situation he inherited. 4 Hookers, 3 Full backs, 5 Centres but only 2 second rowers.'"
Player power happens in all sports
Definitely happening at Hull fc last 5 years
All it would take is all super league teams to put things in a contract like possible termination of contract
Cause I hate player power , sport is the only industry where the main people can under perform and nothing happens to them
Players would still sign as majority would rather play rugby than work on a building site ( aka Jamie shaul )
