As defensive coach Ellis needs to go aswell. Conceding 30 every week.

We don't have a 'defence' coach, its Smith who has introduced this new system. Ellis is just one of the coaches, there are no specialists at the club

The performance again is totally unacceptable and less than professional but I believe Smith deserves time just like Powell got last season at Warrington.

We don't know behind the scenes what adversity Smith is dealing with and how that would influence selection.

Let him clear the decks and give him next season to be fully assessed.

The players are a far bigger issue than Smith.
No commitment, passion or pride in the shirt.
They're the ones first for me that can fook off before another coach.

We are becoming a laughing stock.
Season is a write off and can't see where the next win will come from.

But Warrington didnt have the massive blowouts like we are having when Powell came in.
They also scored points which we cant do.
To think we can emulate what Warrington have done this season is just pie in the sky and wishful thinking
We have to find double the amount of players that Powell added to his squad and i dont think the club have the pulling power to bring in quality players any more

All I am saying is let's have some patience.

We don't need another knee jerk reaction.

Let's ship out the underperforming couldn't give a poop players and give Smith a fair chance.

Genuine question. I'm not being sarcastic or critical of your post but what do you think the answer is?

Is it bull crap to keep playing lovodua at six, McNamara at seven and McIntosh on the wing when it clearly isnt working .
As i have said before and maybe you in your wisdom can tell us all
What has Smith done to the team Pre Season?

Hang on a minute, you slate Smith for tinkering then slate him from continuity. Who would you have played at 7 and 6 tonight ? Who would you have played on the wing ? He had very little choice as the squad is so imbalanced.

You blame smith for pre season but again i dont know why you would expect him to change the fortunes of a group of players who have being do poor for 4 years. 11 of this team tonight played for Radford, that is horrendous recruitment from the club.

Smith isnt a miracle worker.

I’m here having returned from another winning game at Craven Park. I see FC have improved tonight. Scored some points and kept Rhinos below 40. The turnaround has started.

Off load 15 of the 20
It’s as simple as that
