Gobsmacked. We really are total and utter rubbish. Smith has had my backing but even I'm at my wits end. Players look like there running in treacle compared to Leigh.

As I said earlier in the week, Smith is living on his reputation, if it was an unknown Aussie assistant, he'd be gone at full time.

Defensively we're a disgrace and we don't learn anything despite making the same mistakes every single week. Think I'm not far off being done completely with rugby league.


Wish I hadn’t bothered going today but thought we might actually put a performance in at home today. How wrong was I it’s pitiful and I’m sorry but Smith may be an experienced Coach but frankly he is seemingly just not up to the job.
I appreciate we are lacking quality in terms of players but that doesn’t excuse the product that we are seeing out there.
We can’t even get the fundamental basics right, we look beat before the ball is kicked. Our line speed in defence and attack is so slow, I’ve seen sloths move faster off a line. The pots is again pathetic, we have forwards but don’t use them to gain yardage instead give it to the smaller backs, then on the 5th we have forwards being given the ball. All that’s before we get on to a total lack of discipline that we hear they are always working on!! Really???? Think that’s total boll0x bit like the supposed training and coaching done in the week.

That for me is enough to show Smith and Gene are just not doing a job at all. We look totally clueless and Okunbor being pulled just sums up a totally embarrassing mess out there.

No doubt Carlos will be out for another lengthy period of time along with at least 2 games for Pele come Monday afternoon.
Ligi for all the hard work he puts in has to be one of the dumbest out there.

We need a head coach that can lay down discipline not a Laid Back Larry with a stooge who does what exactly.






I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Credit to Leigh, they're not playing against much but they are playing at a pace far far far higher than we are.
This game reminds me of the Salford home game last season. We're awful and everything Leigh do is sticking.
Dwyer had the best half of rugby I've ever seen him have.

I’d say we actually look worse than we did under Hodgson.
Smith out for me. I’ve seen nothing in the last 16 months to suggest he is the man to take us forward.

If Pearson knows anything about R/L then he should sack Smith after this
If after all his time here he cant get a structure in both attack and defence,control the teams indiscipline and actually get something out of these players then he has to go.
To get rid of Gaz Ellis and keep Gene another big mistake

We needed Brian Smith not this fella. Who i am afraid to say appears to be out of depth.

I think the whole point of a “transitional year” is you don’t let the players know that.
