I don’t particularly disagree with you on the results aspect this year.
The reason i like Smith is because he’s got a different approach (I understand that’s why dome dislike his coaching style)
I like people that challenge convention otherwise things just stay the same.
Apparently Matty Peet has a similar way of coaching, taking a lot from other sports and other forms of management. It’s probably down to them being career coaches not ex players .
As you’ve rightly said though it’s results that ultimately count.
I like that he challenges convention too, and I think ultimately we'll be a better team because of it. Some seem to think he's a bit of a mad professor, but stylewise many of the top NRL teams play in the fashion that Leeds are attempting to adopt. Difference is they do it with a discipline and accuracy that Leeds haven't had the quality of player to execute. While the complete replacement of the spine has left us a little short up front it's probably given Rohan players with the brains/skills to adopt his vision of the game. He's already proved he can get results against the "big" teams, but doing it on a week to week basis against the more unfancied teams is the big test. Beating Leigh tomorrow would be a huge step in the right direction.
