Looks like he has gone , most the payers kmow already if not all of them . Smith to me is the obvious choice anyway , been crying out for a established coach for years instead of assistants .

Re: Hodgson : Mon Sep 05, 2022 11:33 am  

if smith takes over,we will be relegated next season.no lover of hodgson,but he has a 39% win ratio with us.smith had a 33% win ratio with the dobbins.he might have been a good coach years ago but thats history.we might as well get his big brother brian smith back.now there was a decent coach.

You need to factor in that in 2020 there wasn't any relegation due to Toronto dropping out so Rovers played a risky attacking style instead of grinding out results. In 2021 he got them to 80mins from the Grand Final.

Said that myself to rovers fans , he didn’t play that way at other clubs , and also rovers lack of good props meant they played the way they have , off the cuff . Doubt we’d play the same way rovers have , if smith comes .

no pass for me if smith takes over.

A bit of a weird thing, why not give him the chance, he has won multiple trophies including 2 grand finals who would you rather have Hodgson, a failed coach with no other experience?

And who else realistically would want to come? money is tight so i'm not sure we could even poach another SL coach and we've tried and failed with assistants before

Totally agree, easily the best option that is available and realiatic, maybe Mcguire, but that's it, we can't afford to take a risk on an assistant, Saints also after a new coach, but they can afford to take a risk, we can't.
