We need to get him in. He is the one man available who can sort us out (I assume Craig Bellamy and Wayne Bennett are not available).

Some people here like to scoff but he has a clear record of turning places around. There will be no messing. He has taken three teams to Grand finals from worse positions than us. ok he didn't win but look at the personnel in the teams they played against.

If people think there is a better option fair enough. But what is it?

You are joking, the man is a liability. But hey ho, jump on the Gentle Out bandwagon whilst it's rolling past

I'd rather have Justin Morgan.

Not joking. Why is he a liability?

If you need that explaining, then it's not worth explaining.

Whilst we're demanding who we're getting, can we also have Cam Smith, Greg Inglis and Sonny Bill please?

Ffs, he's finished!

Why is he finished? Who do you think we should get? Do you think Gentle can turn this around?

If we get another coach, it's going to be another pointless year of rebuilding

As opposed to another year the same as this one?

I'm in no way a fan of sacking the coach, and I've previously been in favour of giving Gentle at least a few games next season, but this performance indicates that something is seriously wrong behind the scenes.

Brian Smith!!! Haha. Embarrassing post!!!

Waste of money he'd be.

As a club we have done OK with unfashionable coaches yet always want a name.

Smith first time round was no big name, Royce Simmons, Sigsworth, Noel Cleal & John Kear. It's not down to experience or the name or the money you pay them it's about the mentality of the club at the time. An underdog coach will prosper at our club. Leave all the we're gonna do this and that behind, pull your finger out & play with some pride. Hard to admit but Hull KR have done this for the past 5/6 years very well without the high expectations

I disagree, a good coach can sort a place out quickly and make the best of the players he inherits. Smith took over the Roosters after they finished as a shambolic last, and next year they went to the grand final. that was 2011, not 1991!

And it cost them how much?

handbrake, more like brains.

Gentle built HIS team this year, and baffled us with most signings and took us backwards year on year.. 2014 is the same!! Awful coach, awful tactician and awful man manager!! It'll take 3 years to rebuild the mess that he's created..

Standee, Why do you have to be insulting? It's a discussion forum little man! If you want to participate, just outline the reasons why you don't like Brian Smith. What's all this shi*brains business? Are you an immature teenager?

Nope, I am far from an immature teenager, but I am not a brains either, the problem with arguing with idiots is they drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.

If you think Brian Smith is the answer, you don't understand the question.

Why is it alway Brian Smith who gets brought up? Is he the only NRL based coach who posters know?

Posters who know nothing about the game. and are getting winter fuel allowance you mean?

What has Brian Smith ever won?

There is a reason that the only gig he can currently get is coaching the USA Tomahawks

Standee, just argue why you think Brian Smith is unsuitable, the thread wasn't started with the intention of insulting your intelligence!

Do you go out on Friday nights looking for a fight? Did Brian Smith do something with your wife (if you still have one) ?

This is Gentles first season with his own built side, he's took us to one of the two cup finals on offer, consolidated our place in the league, had a play off win and his record in the Derby (let's face it, we all like to win that) is in the plus, and the young talent he's given the opportunities too are already top SL players who are only gonna get better.

This is a young team he's building, that's gonna have to take some hard, harsh lessons on the way to the top, tonight was just one of them.
We lost by 70 in the play offs before, we got to the grand final the following season.

It hasn't been pretty, but to say we're not progressing is wrong IMO, and giving a season we may just have progressed enough to be challenging.

If he goes then that's up to Pearson, but I don't think it's the answer

I'll leave you to be an embarrassment to yourself, sad little imbecile with access to the internet.

bless, maybe you can lay on your arm and get pins and needles

Are you on crack?

Brian Smith is yesterdays man.
So hopefully he will be your next coach.

Yes
How did you guess
