Smith should teach the first team a lesson next week and put the reserves out against Hull KR, please.
that would be a good call, some players just need a kick up the butt every now and again to get there playing head back on, it would show the underperforming players that smith isnt scared of their big name status and isnt scared to drop them.. if he then plays the reserves in the super league game the youngsters will gain valuable experience and if the first team play in the reserve league , they might get that winning feeling back as the opposition will be poor and the team might gel together as a unit and regain the lost confidence

It won't take 3 to 5 years to sort ya team out. It could take the next 3 games.
If u win few on the bounce and gain confidence your season would turn round.
I know it's bad but beleive me dire will be in top 5 at the end of year
yes he might turn things round and win some games, but to get unity and the bad lads out of the club and make it more professional will take time. smith is no fool that will of hurt him yesterday hel know what to do and he might make unpopular decisions getting rid of some players but hel just do it. some of the wire players are on borrowed time smith will have seen the slackers and will be determined to get it sorted. so 3 games to improved performances 3 years to sort the club imo.
Don't forget that you guys was 1 of the teams saints and Leeds was looking over there shoulders at.
We are only 5 games. It's the same set of players that made your team 1 of the faves before the season kicked off.
Lowes should never have been givin the job as 1st team coach as it was to early. I'm fairly certain under smith u will be knocking around the top 5 and a good challenge cup run.
5 games don't make or break a season, look at saints early last year.

This game was the reason that I dont go anymore. The club is too much of a clique.Everyone from the board to the souvenir shop should be shut of.Backroom staff,goodbye aswell.Smith needs to bring in his own mob and ideas and be shut of anybody with a Warrington connection.
Incidently,I dont believe Smith to be a world class coach that he's cracked up to be,but only time will tell.
And finally,I've said it before and will do so again,Since Simon Moran came onto the board,the club has regressed.Its a good job KR are here next week,or we would'nt have got 7000 in the ground.
how do you know who does and does not do their job well at the club? your sweeping reforms would be suicide and in my opinion stupid.
you can judge the players, but not the back room staff , some of whom i know put more than their contracted hours in every week cos they love the club.
how much of your spare time, apart from attending the match do you give to the club??
As somebody who's opinion I'll listen to, were Monaghan & Briers 'that' bad ? Ie, Monaghan to be withdrawn at halftime, Briers before the end ? Were they bad enough to make you think they might not play for a while ? I've said on another thread, I think we'll see Gleeson at stand off from next week, I'm just wondering from somebody who was actually there ?
I'd like to see a few of these turn out for the reserves for a while to tell you the truth, not just for a week like, for a few weeks, like Penny has been doing for his 'crimes'. I think Monaghan, Briers et al should be shown up, the real slackers, Rauhihi is another who for me doesn't pull his considerable weight.
I think a chap said it on another thread, ask them directly do you want to play for this club ? If no, turn out at Wilderspool, every Saturday, in front of 100 people, and know that your facing the prospect of doing this for two & a half years if needs be, if the money means that much to you, then good on you, if you can afford a drop, instruct your agent to get you an NRL club asap, and we'll call it quits for the money you've stolen so far.
If the players think they can take on Smith, they are wrong, they are wrong for a start because I think we've all had enough of them, collectively we've had a gutful of them. We've shifted the blame everywhere, Cullen, Lowes, Moran, it's the players, they don't work hard enough & they don't want it, and if I had to choose, I'd back Smith tomorrow, if he wanted to get rid of all 25 of them, play the reserves until the end of the season, and bring in people that he trusts to work hard for our club, I'd back him 100%, the players need to realise, the fans are speaking now, they can't hide anywhere, the blame is firmly being placed at their feet, and should Smith want to weed out 1,2,5,10 whatever, the fans will back him.
