Do you think that transmits to the players in any way? If it does, is it an issue? Ie, can it have a negative effect.

I think there is an element of it, but at the same time the players should be aware they are effectively on a 12 month trial.

| One of the things I found strange was him admitting that Wire had not had enough pre-season games.
Surely it was his decision not to play senior players v Wigan, and not to have at least one more friendly.

A fact that couldn't be more true. We even had a game against Salford arranged until Hull KR took our place.

There was one apparently with Salford IIRC that was cancelled or never happened.

Domestic rugby and international rugby are two different things.
Noble and Smith were both top notch club coaches, but crap international coaches.

Too many mistakes does not excuse 26 unanswered points in 30 ish minutes. Thats a fundamental issue not just players being clumbsy.

Give over. Turned the game's perennial underachievers into a 2 time Championship winning side in 4 years. He meets the criteria required at Warrington.

Nonsense.
Smith might not have had a lot to work with, but his inability to even get the Saints and Leeds players to hang out with each other on the beach points to a coach who would have just as much difficulty breaking up the cliques that have always haunted our club.

No it was a genuine spelling mistake. I hold my hands up. It's a fair cop, I'm bang to rights.
It's not irony though.
