I genuinely do care. It boils my blood that Leeds and Hull are such a shambles - it would be so good for SL if they are Wire could get their act together.

Not a lot Smith can do when big profile players are leaving and not being replaced. We behave like we are absolutely desperate for income, and are a selling and begging club. At least is shows how much we need to invest in the off season. I’ll keep backing Smith, was a long term appointment and we appointed someone with zero first grade experience, so is learning on the job. This will make him harder and even more determined. Needs to be given complete carte Blanche on who he wants in and out now. He’ll know who has wrong mentality….

Why was Newman binned there?

Taking RS was always a risk. So msny bad losses this year.

Shaping up to be a poor off season for signings (so far) which GH is putting fully on RS.

If we get to next season with the current team/RS and its the same ..where do we go ?

Thought the Sinfield no try was harsh, especially as it was sent up as a try. Don’t think it was clear and obvious that Tomkins got there first.

Sorry mate, I'm going to call you out on that. Smith hasn't improved the players, hasn't stamped a playing style, hasn't made the team greater than the sum of it's parts. The only positive thing he has done is to get rid of some players who probably should never have worn the shirt in the first place.

Individual games, or individual performances can be excused, if it goes on for a time, the coach is at least as culpable as the players.

The clue for me was when Jack went for the second bite. He didn't think he'd scored.
