Im happy, think its an exciting hire, our current predicament makes it a slightly risky one, but think in the longer term he will prove to be a good coach for us.

The NRL assistant coach/Reserve Grade head coach market is a hotbed for coaching talent, Rohans one of the hottest names among them at present. Like i say, exciting hire imo.

Agreed, I think he’s a great appointment, he’s an up and coming ambitious coach who’s had plenty of experience at assistant coach level, although he’s had limited experience as a head coach.

https://youtu.be/ttr1NZdnPLg An interesting listen. I like what he says about not being able to replicate culture and that its got to be about the people currently at the club. Also the philosophy of 'playing to win rather than playing not to lose' one I always shared in my coaching.

He tweets regularly so knowing him if theres any truth in it he's bound to slip up

Also like that he mentions his deep interest in the psychology of the players too, which I think is criminally under prepared in the game. Well, I like what I hear, definitely a student of the game.

Just listening to Lot Pod and some Leeds fans rightly saying we must give Smith time. Regardless of how things start under his tenure, it has to be a long process, we are rotten and Smith needs the time to mould it as his own.

Less impact on the club! Norton wrote:

Bringing Gary Schofield back to play would have positive impact!
