Reports in Oz this morning we're in for Brad Arthur! Exciting development, and he's immediately available.

I'm convinced if we move quickly, this season could be somehow saved. I'm not saying trophies, but maybe playoffs. With RS, it's a total right-off IMO.

Those reports seem highly doubtfully sourced. You'd be as good getting your news from Mick Gledhill.

Seem to be taken from a league express article. Which is a very poor source.

If those fans can’t control themselves for one game dedicated to Rob then I despair.

I fear you may be doing just that.. Rohan has very little stock left but you'd like to think for the greater cause of Rob fans would unite, but if Leigh score early against us I can see the atmosphere turning sour very quickly.

If so. then the whole lets respect Rob is a very hollow statement IMO.

If we do play poorly I'd hope that the crowd redirect their energies with sustained chants of robs name

Re: Smith out ASAP : Tue Jun 18, 2024 11:18 am  

Most Leeds coaches have had criticism on here at some point, even the successful ones. But chants calling for their sacking is pretty rare, especially at home. I remember Peter Fox getting plenty in the 80s but can't remember any since.
As much as I would like Smith to go, it isn't nice to see fans turning on the coach. Friday is certainly not the time or place.

A section of Leeds fans pretty much hounded Tony Smith out of the club. The high level of aggressive stupidity goes back a long way.

Tony Smith left Leeds to take the GB Coaches job.

His Leeds contract was at an end and wasn't being renewed.
