Gutted it never worked out for him but correct call, just glad Stanley has been binned off with him.

Wonder who will be next to come in and get sacked.

Surprised by the timing as it's only a day or so after it seemed they were backing him by releasing Hoy.



Would love to be a fly on the wall at the club this week. Right decision I think though.

I’m assuming it’ll be Grix and Cummings. Cheap option.

I’m going to be thoroughly annoyed if the players start performing now. Will prove how much they’ve been taking the p & how little they respect the fan base.

Hoy snr will be a happy man

The thing is, Hoy and his dad might have poisoned the club for any new recruits so they may have felt they had no choice.

Theres still 10 players here from the Radford era, four head coaches have being and gone since then. Yet these jokers still get contracts.

Tony Smith failing miserably should scare the living daylight out of us, goes to show what a state we are in.

Surprised tbh, all the noises seemed to be about backing him.

Talk of further restructuring, wonder what form that will take.

On balance probably the right decision as we have gone backwards under Tony but I'd be fascinated to hear his honest, unvarnished views on what was/is wrong and how he planned to fix it.

Thank goodness for that

I advocated this for some time

They’re not playing for him

Anyone is better than Tony Smith and Gene !

Grix gets a go for the rest of the season

What can we lose

I just dont get it, on paper he was what should have being needed.



Every club hes gone to they have improved, KR wouldnt be where they are now without his couple of seasons. Its just fc all over that he couldnt make anything work here.



People may say he lost his magic but just before he came to us he transformed KR from bottom place to attending semi finals in the league and cup.



Baffles me how it hasnt happened here.



For me still alot that needs to go.

My thoughts too. It’s a PR move to try and salvage recruitment. Just hope it’s taken them a few days because they were lining up a replacement.

The change in tone is very surprising, I wouldn't be shocked if player power has pushed him out off the back of Hoy's imminent departure.

150% agree with this.



Regardless he would have took us to the top or not, the way the players just fall out with a coach and get them sacked is appalling.

Sad news that agent smith and gene gone.A job well done.

100% this how long before they throw Grix under the bus….

It’s the fans that got him sacked. He was OOC at end of season and Pearson knew he couldn’t extend him with how we’re playing. It would’ve been suicide. Subsequently he’s having to sack him with the aim of getting a new coach in to control recruitment.

Flip, flop.....

The fans havent conceded 204 points in 4 games.

Had to happen something had to give, players not innocent but he had to go and glad Stanley gone too. A certain injured prop with a mullet at the club rates Grix highly but hopefully we appoint a new man, its the biggest appointment in the clubs history IMO. Rowley for me as Macca won't leave Catalans and AP won't pay the money. No rush to appoint IMO need to make sure we get the right man.

I’ve been told on good authority that Adam wants out, but no doubt be happy to take his wage until somebody does buy the club. Sad state of affairs.

Absolutely right. The last thing we need is a knee jerk reaction leading to another bad appointment. Nothing is going to happen results wise and we can't be relegate so they should take their time and make an appointment that will change things.

The players aren’t downing tools though, they’re just not good enough. And smiths reluctance to wrestle has capitulated that.

We will have to agree to disagree on that front.
