I thought Cunningham's comments after the game on sky strange saying he was very pleased with his players, they didn't complete sets the end of sets where poor far too many unforced errors and poor discipline but he was very pleased with the performance if that's the standard he's happy with then you will be in the lower end of the table this year sometimes your poor like we where but you grind a win out but there's poor and poor you are never happy with it

Daryl Powell was not a success at Leeds - hence leaving. Not his fault, as he was thrown in at the deep end in an emergency, and its great to see that after actually learning his trade he's now seemingly a very good coach.

TBH you could blame the club for appointing Cunningham without experience, but how big is his ego in taking it on with no experience? Why is it so hard to accept that he should have gone and coached juniors or even better in the Championship for a few years?

Even if we start playing better when Smith comes back are we happy to be a club that is utterly reliant on one player? Wnot this just lead to clubs targeting Smith constantly?

It can't be easy to turn down your dream job and say I'm not good enough though can it? Has anyone on here ever turned down their dream job and given that as the reason?

Quote ="Smith's Brolly"Champion of young british half-backs, Garry Schofield slam Super League coaches for dropping Patton & Danny Richardson. www.totalrl.com/schofield-blasts ... halfbacks/'" A few years ago I was sat next to Schofield at one of the Leeds v Saints Grand finals....... about 10mins to go Saints were losing but still within a chance of snatching it, He said to me " don't worry Leeds are shot, Saints are going to win this" !!!!! Then Leeds scored again and the rest as they say is history. I didn't think much if his opinion then and I don't think much of it now.

It's a shame that coaches don't see the championship as a good training ground. Are there any ex top players coaching in the lower leagues now? The only Ines I can think of who moved up from a lower league to super league where Powell from Fev to Cas and millward when he joined us from Leigh. I would prefer to see KC do a couple of years down there and then go for a top job.

Tommy Lee what a dreadful signing

Definition of a journey man. Never really kicked on from his time at Hull (he left in 200icon_cool.gif.

Perhaps he's a late developer




I remember when he got into the Hull side he was hailed as a great prospect but a one how he never kicked on.

You never know he may surprise us

on the plus side he can't be costing us much and he may tide us over until Cunningham jnr reaches potential.
