I can't say they are not playing for the coach.
I can say that they are poorly coached and have been all season whoever has been at halfback.
I can say that we have no leadership on the field
The season is done and I'm no longer sire I would want Smith in charge next season.
I realise I am in the minority but I would have Powell in a heartbeat

Christ no not Powell, he’s living off the back of one good season 6 years ago, and he’s absolutely ruined Warrington

Not a good performance again, and not unexpected really.

We look so disjointed at times.

Thought Oledski, Holroyd, Lisone aside from the sin bin were pretty good and got stuck in.

McDonald always tries hard but the team does nothing to help put him away.

Hooley at the back was good and looked threatening on attack a couple of times.

We need new signings and a good off season. I know Leigh are doing well this year but to get beaten by a team including Leeds rejects again at home is embarrassing.

In Fairness to Leigh they’ve embarrassed a few sides with their rejects in the squad

Really hope Smith dosnt really believe the rubbish he's just spouted...’A lot to like' about that performance, he needs sacked on the spot if he believes that

It does feel every bit as a low point as the Bradford cup game. It looks like a very long road ahead and that's even after the last 3 years of 'development'. I vow to myself though not to get as caught up in the frustration if it all because it all feels inevitable, Smith is hanging by a thread and there's no drive above him to make this club any more than a profitable entity.

Feels like there’s a lack of honesty about Leeds first team and those involved in it to me. I know we get the media soundbites, but the lack of consistency or improvement makes me think there are problems behind closed doors.

I realise it's not a popular suggestion. He did well at Leeds earlier in his career and he turned Fev into a team that was challenging for promotion
He transformed Cas from a yo yo side into League leaders. His teams generally play an exciting brand of Rugby. Yes he has failed to get over the line In finals but we are a million miles from that atm.

Leeds fans singing about being' on our way to Old Trafford' in recent games. Certainly heard it when you played at Stains.

Any chance of letting us know which Old Trafford you mean as you're so poor you've spent most of the season outside the play off spots and your crap football club got relegated last season so they won't be pitching up at Old Trafford either.

Powell is dreadful. Smith might not be the answer either as it looks but Powell showed in the last few months how a coach can create a toxic unhappy environment.
