Why the excitement over Maguire? I want Smith out but the Rabbitohs finished 12th, that's why he's leaving.....as we know from Smith, what he did in the past counts for nothing.

A different solution for me please - someone who coaches entertaining rugby and won't put up with players not pulling their weight.

Talking of weight, right now I'd take Johnny Vegas over Smith,at least he showed passion making that advert.

If wane left I'd take him

Re: Smith Out : Sun Sep 03, 2017 1:42 pm  

I must say that Maguire as coach would not float my boat. Wigan are still tainted by the thuggish reputation they earned under his management.

Re: Smith Out : Sun Sep 03, 2017 2:55 pm  

Yeah point taken so why don't we get him in for 2 years, win a title or two then we can go back to being entertained with a good year with no title, followed by a bad, followed by... and so on under a Smith style coach.

I think many of us agree, a coach has a shelf life in rl. The game keeps evolving and few coach's seem to adjust. So the coaching style becomes compromised.

It's over for TS and Agar. They have fell by the wayside. Another season of them and we could well get further compromised in the Q8s.
I see keeping them a greater risk than better the devil you know.

They must go.

It's a shame, as he is tarnishing his reputation.

What gave you the misconception I was defending Tony Smith? I asked a straightforward question. I take from your inane drivel that you couldn't find an example

Please see if you can find me an example of the last time any manager in any sport was sacked for being top of the league after winning four games on the run?

Have you overlooked the fact that we have been ejected from Super League due to a lowly finishing position? I'm sure we could be top of the Championship but that's hardly the point.

Nah. I'm not biting.
I'm out (inane drivel or not)
