Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

It doesn't matter... he has had the finances and the time. If we don't have good enough players it is down to the coach, and if the players aren't performing it is down to the coach.

Why? Because you don't like the message?

The coach is responsible for recruitment, retention, succession planning, performance and results.

Smith would be rightly praised if he had won the trophies so criticism when we do not is fair.

Time for Smith's post match interview bingo

I'm going for
"a bit sloppy at the play the ball"
"we can take some positives"

As usual with these posts there is a distinct lack of suggested alternatives, just "time for a change".

The most likely change would be:

Steve McNamara
Daryl Powell
Paul Anderson
Richard Agar
