I'm old enough to remember and my recollections were that, he turned an Hull side, full of average players,into a TEAM, who would die for each over,a Team that pushed well above it's weight.

It was a pleasure to go watch his sides,because you knew, whatever the score,his sides would give 110%.

They must have buckled under all the trophies.

Can we afford to get Smith out of his contract? He must be commanding megabucks at the moment.

How many games did he coach us, why did he leave, how much did he spend?

I would appoint Smith, as a Coaching Director, bring in someone for him to mentor.

Have a look at the side,tell me how much they cost?,can't be much,why did he leave?,only an idiot would ask the question,so I won't even bother answering and as for asking how many trophies he won at Hull,my god did you see Wigan's and Widnes side.

You've got to remember we finished 10th in 87,one year after taking over he managed to get us to 4th,with a side of average players.

4th?

Get him on the phone NOW!!!!

A performance bettered by Peter Sharp. Would you like him back?

I don't think you have a say in it

Smith nearly bankrupt the club, f'd off back to Aus mid season (and you clearly don't know why!), he's well past it.

A Coach doesnt bankrupt a club, the Chairman/Board of Directors is responsible for the financial affairs of a club.

Peter Sharp,yes I'd have him back.

Are the decorators in or are you this abrasive all the time?

We were heading for street before he came .

Fucking Brian Smith, deary me.

Gentle gets one more year for me, sacking him now would just put us back where we was two years ago. He admitted last night he's made mistakes with his recruitment, he gets to put that right. He's certainly helped to bring through players like Crooks, Lineham & Shaul, who will be another season more experienced.
If we don't see improvement next year then fine, just don't think two seasons is enough. We've improved massively defensively, performed similar to last year in the league and had our best year in the cup since 2008.

Powell at Cas would be a good option for 2015 if if doesn't work out with Gentle.

Im always abrasive when people are being idiots

Riiiight, some people would call that having an opinion.

How about all these "idiots" not knowing what Smith was upto.I dont even know what your alluding too and find some of your insults rather childish...why dont you put your story of events on here about Smith.

Remember when Smith came here and changed the team and club so much but he does have a habit of buggering off but he also has a habit of building clubs up but as too now,i dont know as dont follow the aussie rugby and just see posts of our resident aussie "expert".

I might be wrong but read somewhere that Smith is coaching the US team so whether he would be available is questionable. As for whether I would want him at our club, noooooooo, we would be lucky if he saw out his contract.

You need be a top 5 poster to have an opinion here

are you joking? he'd be on the next flight over for a decent job, the USA are a pub side!

Exactly.

Then why hasn't he? Do you not think he's been sounded out for a job in the past couple of seasons?

Or not a fool.

You fail on both counts

No he's not joking.

As I've said before, there's a reason the only gig he can get is the USA Tomahawks

there's no point trying to argue coddy, these people are higher intellectuals than you or I, tha's why they live in a HU postcode and think Megaruf is a holiday.
