Ridiculous statement that the players are clearly refusing to play for Smith: that's your interpretation, but is based on no fact other than what you perceive. And I'm pretty sure we can sack any player we want!

Plenty of rumours around and something clearly stinks and Smith has form for fall outs with players. I am terrified ford if that isn't the case because if it isn't this side will be playing the million pound game (if we are lucky).

We can't sack the whole squad now can we. In any case wouldn't they still count on the salary cap?

Now we have Clark and Westerman liking comments on twitter about this being one of the worst sides someone has seen in the P&B and feeling sorry for Clark and Westerman. Odd thing to like it there isn't serious issues in the dressing room.

Time to go. The thought of him staying - continuing to recruit poorly, continuing to select bizarrely, and continuing to gurn through interviews as though he carries no responsibility is almost as bad as not continuing to not deliver anything for another year on top of the last 5.

Quite right. The argument 'well who do you get?' is as teeth itching as it is childish. A change is needed...any change. Briers for now....recruit in the off season. Smith bluffed his way to near infallibility...but he overreached....that's ego for you.

Yes I suspect a huge stubborn ego is at play. Smith may need to be dragged out in complete denial as to why.

Joe Westerman
You're worst signing..he's no good enough and is 'one of the lads' and when you signed him I thought mmmmmmm.......

He has been our best forward so far this season, admittedly he has not had much competition.

But you look at the stats and we are nowhere near the worst for missed tackles or penalties even allowing for the fact we have played a game fewer than most. We are second in the error count behind Leigh who ripped us a new one last week. The players are clearly refusing to play for Smith and we can't sack the players.

You can't sack the players- but you don't have to play all of them after that.

Brad Dwyers forward pass on the first, after we had just got back into contention was unforgettable. Bad play the balls were killers too- you can't blame those on smith.
