Only if Smith is not seen as the long-term solution by Hetherington, which I think Hetherington still thinks he is.
Regardless, Holbrook's been treated really shabbily by the Titans. Their CEO claiming they're not progressing is such a lie - they are a far more credible club than when Holbrook took over. Turning the drug-fuelled party boys into a serious team was always going to take a long time, and I'd say they had turned the corner. They obviously wanted Hasler once he made himself available, but I think its shabby as hell.
Yeah he's done a good job there imo has Holbrook. Leeds should most definitely be sounding him out just on the basis that it potentially doesn't work for Rohan. You can't let a quality coach sail by like that.

which goes to show the coach is the most important appointment in the club. Tony Smith has turned around a hull side that was worse than ours. Wellans is struggling at saints as he hasn't the quality of his predecessor. as for us
Posted this in another thread but on second thought it feels more appropriate here.
Kind of feels like Leeds is turning into a big corparate money machine. Can't remember the last time Garry got us a star player or big coach that impressed people. My opinion on the reason why is that all he cares about is money and not about the rugby team on the pitch, every single week it feels like we release a new merch line that people buy, we average the highest home attendance in super league consistently, really sponsor friendly atm with ooohhh look at us we have a womens team, disabled team, netball team ect. what an inclusive and family friendly club. We clearly have a good cash inflow, GH is filling his pockets quite nicely as he runs the club well off the pitch and is able to make money regardless of poop performances. If he has lost passion or enjoyment for the game ( not a stretch at all for someone 68/69 who has been involved in rugby for so long ) then why should he invest in the team if supporters still buy tickets, merch and food/drink. We arent bad enough to get relegated either.
This idea is of course all speculation from myself but to be honest it has become a genuine concern for me recently with how the club is being run. Ownership genuinely seems not to care that we are average and I fear us turning into another Hull FC, fairly big club that sits in mid table and does nothing.
