Not quite as simple as that, several of us on this site midway through last season pointed out that Smith was incompetent, we were told by certain people that we should support the side. Also that the deadwood had to be cleared out etc etc, plus Smith was rebuilding the side. We then pointed out that he wasn’t doing a very good job. Once again we were accused of being negative. If I see the team playing poorly then I will call It out. If the team plays well then I will praise them. I certainly don’t have a vendetta or gain pleasure when the team struggles, god only knows we have had very little to cheer about this season . However I have supported the team and will be supporting the team next season.

Peter Smith pretty scathing about the squad in todays YEP. Did make me laugh though when he said maybe it wasn't RS fault after all (the current squad's performances this season).... it's a RS legacy, with a squad that has no back bone, poor leadership and is very undersized in the pack, lacks X factor in the 3 quarter line (Croft and Handley apart) and are so volatile in their performances. This is his squad. They just look so so poorly coached.

We've seen a mix of awful coaching over the last 5 or 6 years or so and woeful recruitment by those coaches (inc GH).. which is why we are where we are now.. having said that, all we need is a top coach with 3 or so good acquisitions in the right areas and we can get into that top 3 or 4 again.

If any Leeds fans are pining for a bit of "coach out" content now ours has been sacked, have a look on Redvee.net they've gone into meltdown

Peter Smith is well informed but he has his views... like he never rates McDonnell despite the fact he was selected for the England squad and has made the Team of the Week several times this season... unlike most other players.

I was gob smacked they lost to Cas. They've been spoilt with fabulous success. Those incredibly high achievements were never going to last forever... they're still very capable on their day though and well ahead of us. Crackers this game isn't it
