No defending him any more, time to look elsewhere before he's allowed to sign anyone else.
JJB got the knives out in the booth.
JJB has an agenda!! Him now being on the board at Leeds does not bode well for Smith.
The culture of the club needs to move on from the golden generation and it probably needed a coach with a history of delivering that ie putting his own imprint on the rugby side of things. Smith was a punt and no doubt at a discount to the likes of Peter Green. Unfortunately he is still on a huge learning curve and is SL is biggest club the correct place for that?
I have repeatedly on here all you want is the players to play to their potential win or lose - this so rarely happens you have to question the coaching set up. A young coach needs experience around him - where has Grix coached prior to Leeds? Playing players out of position doesn't work nobody gets settled in a pattern - why persist?
Yes recruitment has been poor but that squad should be able to be the likes of Leigh and Castleford and be somewhere near the playoffs - sadly not going to happen. I am not for moving Smith on just yet but he needs to see improvement in the basics and desire of the players to deliver for him
