Bentley 3-5 games swinging arm catches him flush in face. Our player doesn't even change direction when running it in. Should have been a red.

Probably right there.

I don’t think were going to get 30 minute pressers from Smith, i like how hes giving the impression that he’s thinking ‘why are you asking me these pointless inane questions’

Funny isn't it? He's done in the time it took JJB to finish his first sentence. He's clearly not interested in playing the media game. Good on him.

The most interesting bit of Smith was on Dwyer - added a bit of spark for 10 minutes but that was enough. Didn't have to say any more. Looks like he could be the first major casualty of the new direction....

Dwyer was brought in to replace Burrow as an impact sub, and he can do that role, problem is Burrow was so far ahead of him in every aspect it was always going to be a tough job.

He’s put his everything into it but i think its the right thing for him to go next year.

I don't think the problem is that he's not Rob Burrow, its that he's not good in the core skills of a hooker and yet at Leeds he's been playing long minutes almost the whole time. Agar as much said that he became his go to man every time we were struggling. Problem is we struggle in virtually every game and he went from being that impact sub to being on the field most of the time.

Not the best footage to assess but looked like first contact was with chest that then slipped up, albeit it was a stiff arm with a clenched fist and quite forceful so I expect at least a couple of games. Holroyd could be looking at 5-6 games!
