Haven't heard what he said tonight, but commenting on his previous utterings, he talks as though he's a neutral bystander, looking in and not privy or party to any sort of decision making.

Yet this isn't the case. He's a director of the club and as such bound by the collective decisions the club, and he, makes. If he doesn't agree with them,, on such a scale, he can resign. But he hasn't.

This dual role he has carved out for himself doesn't, and never has, sat well with me.

Brian Mac would bring a bit of Heart back?

I guarantee those wanting him to stay would have a different view if her were coaching another club

Brian mac???? 100% no

Totally agree mate. Good post. That team out tonight should not have lost 61-0. No where near. A freak one off maybe but not on the back of a 50-0 home defeat. It’s very very worrying indeed and I think tell us all what the players think of Smith and tells us about his abilities. He is on very very very thin ice

Makes the timing and clarity of the GH interview very interesting indeed.

Probably not a popular view but based on who could be available I would take Sean Wane. At least he would lead from the front and say it as it is.

Thanks Rohan for playing the players out of position. No wonder we can't play as a team when you don't know where your team mate is going to be.

Smith has to go for me. If I was a prospective signing, there is no chance I’d be wanting to play in this structure. There is not a single area we have excelled in this year.

Actually we retained possession from short kick offs at least three times this evening so that was quite excelly.

Notice Brian McDermott getting a mention.

Not a Leeds fan but recall visiting this board when the trophies were rolling in when he was your coach and he was still getting hammered on here.

I remember a long-running anti-McDermott thread that went on for pretty much his whole tenure with endless calls for his head even when his sides were winning things.

Please, just don't.

2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. GH Puts out the same statement. Well it's no longer acceptable.
We have no money to spend on players as we have 40 years to pay off the new South and North stands

Show me a Leeds fan that wouldn’t want that and I’ll show you an idiot.

Plenty of practice.

I mean it could have been worse.

Lose to Cas next week and the sht really hits the fan.

regardless of next week it should be splattered everywhere now!

Can’t see it really matters. We are done this year and need to clear the decks…

Correction superleague is a joke by the southern hemisphere rugby-league fans.

Yeah fk it what does pride and resilience mean, might as well go for another 50 it wouldn't have any bearing on whether the coach or players are fit for their jobs. Honestly shabs you have me scratching my head at times.

We won’t magic up a win from unicorn mist against Cas, who will be highly motivated to beat us.

We are going to have to get the selection right and have better individual performances.

Honestly might be time to put one or two reserves / academy lads in - Leon injured now and Olpherts shouldn’t play again IMO. We are busted.

What no @ Leedsbarmyarmy Christopher ArthurClues Exeter rhino?

111 unanswered points in two games.

Worst defeat in super league history

First time we've conceded 50 points in back to back games since 1996

First time we've been nilled in back to back games in the super league era

Recruitment barely underway

Absolutely shameful. Smith has to be on very very thin ice

Smith obviously has to front up for that loss, but we need to look beyond him at some of the individual 'efforts' by senior players. We had no halfbacks again, so to have a chance of even competing the forwards have to have a big crack. None of them did, and our quite experienced threequarter line looked like an amateur team as well.

The scale of the defeat says a lot about the way the squad has fallen apart. There are still a fair few in that team who won't be here next season, and a bunch more who won't be first choice if they stay. I'd imagine team spirit is almost non-existent now, and the season just can't end fast enough.

I'd hope we get some kind of response next week, but the senior players gave up a week ago. Unfortunately we have no depth at all to make changes. Smith could pick Edgell etc but unless the senior pros stand up the 'experience' will be pointless aside from getting battered in front of a crowd. His choices boil down to just playing as close to the same 17 and hope some sort of pride in performance kicks in, or picking a bunch of kids who'll at least try. Either way another big defeat looks likely.
