I think 'scoffing' is putting it mildly, there were shades of ridicule at times. The distance between what some though the progress smith was making with the team and where we actually are is monumental. I cant see where we made any visible progress even earlier in the season. Some of the signings have been a disaster too and even miller is way off what we need to be anywhere near the top. Contact extrensions to Sangare, fus and lisone just add insult to the whole sorry mess.

I don’t think I've ever ridiculed anyone on here, in fact the ridiculing on here is why i don’t post as often or use the forum as much.

That’s exactly what someone guilty of ridiculing others would say

I don't think there's been much ridiculing of anyone except of people who have held on to the hope Smith could turn things around.

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.

GH went straight into the changing room with the players and smith and locked the door apparently

The thought of another "performance full of promise" like yesterday on Friday makes me shudder. 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.

I would hope that even if Smith is still in post people could moderate themselves on Friday, there’s no need for the abuse at such an occasion.

Very true Christopher. I'd say GH will mark the cards of players if they dish out garbage in the next match.

Its also odd that when players turn against the coach a lot of them are acting like turkeys wishing for Christmas. Where exactly do some of them think they'll go if the club decides they are part of the problem? For a fair few it will be forever the lower reaches of SL or the Championship after Leeds.

I actually think celebrating Rob is the part of the reason Rohan should be gone before Leigh. Another dire performance and the subsequent unrest and atmosphere it would cause when we should be celebrating the great man….no thank you. He deserves better imo.

Totally agree. Can you imagine all the emotion and passion and then watch a bunch of wage thieves run round like headless chickens while Leigh laugh their socks off against a bunch of pussies.

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

Blease needs to make his own decision and not be told anything otherwise his position is undermined from the start.

If supporters want to make it all about what they want on Friday that’s up to them but maybe they should give it a rest for one game and think about the bigger picture
