When you’re at school, and in exams teachers always want and require to see the working out of math equations, so they can verify that logic is correct and that the method is a repeatable process that can be used to reliably solve other equations.
Leeds can solve the odd difficult equation, sometimes. But there’s no working out, no method, it’s not a reliable repeatable process.
The likes of Saints and Wigan have reliable, effective, repeatable methods that solve equations.
Leeds don’t.
That's all well and good, but the final exam for this team is not 10 or so games into the season. If you want to use the school children analogy, shouldn't we give the teacher more time to help his players learn, give them a bit of leeway for improvement, instead of writing them off as wasted effort? So far they are doing okay in their coursework - let's see how the next few assignments go before being too judgmental, eh?
If you are a teacher in real life I wouldn't want to send my children to your school
In any case, to get that kind of positive consistency we would need a new DoR basically. Without that, each coach coming in will change systems and philosophies. GH in charge has done many things, but it hasn't provided any systematic success for a very long time - this is the truth.
It's not a hopeless position but - the kind of systemic club approaches you're talking about take years to embed fully.

Let’s not be so judgmental, yet let’s judge my aptitude as a teacher (I’m not, I work in software development) based on a paragraph of writing? Cool.
There’s no reasoning with Smith apologists. It’s like a cult. They will always find an excuse.

Short term simply trying to defend with more intensity would make things better.
I’ve been saying it for years GH is past it and we need to spend far more on our whole coaching set up
Smiths intitial bounce was probably more to do with being anybody but the incompetent coach he replaced, another god awful appointment that had British RL laughing at us at the time
We all fell for it, no shame in that, was a great feeling thinking we finally had our coach....Then his first pre-season started, and the worrying signs were there for all but the blinkerd
