Big ears strikes again?

'What difference does it make'

Sorry but I don't want Radford anywhere near this club EVER, he's shown his true colours time and again, gone against his word, is a backstabber, a bully and as a coach has so many flaws nothing short of a brain transplant is going to turn him into a 'good' coach.

After 1 3/4 seasons of his nonsense (aside from a couple of excellent games) it's being micturate poor, I can't understand how people are still willing to give him a chance as an assistant never mind the head coach position.

Would happily take Bri Smith on a rolling one year contract.



He would be like a breath of fresh air and ouse enthusiasm. There would be no blaming players, fans or short turnarounds. In his time with Hull, he brought a real club/team culture, with a team of 13 players and a 'no star' policy. He turned a very average Andy Dannatt and Paul Eastwood into International players.



I know some think he wouldn't be successful, but we don't want to get any lower and with our resources, set up etc we should be achieving more. We are not going to go from c9th in the league to Champions, but we should be able to compete for the Top Four and then kick on from there.



I think he would show us something different, something better. If he wanted to go back to Oz in a year or two, then that would be fine. We could plan for that and he could help us succession plan, rather than give it to some inexperienced new Coach who fancies the job.



Some say he did the dirty on Hull and quit on us. From what I recall he got an offer from 'his club' St George and left us in a much healthier position. I think he'd see Hull as unfinished business and his affinity with the club would see him want to come to us.

Daniel anderson, proven winner...other than that,id take powell, hands down, smith is a dinosaur, and i wouldnt want him, justin morgan could be within a shout if wee need a new coach tho...

If smith is a dinosaur does that make wayne bennett a fossil?



I'd take smith in a heartbeat. He's so far ahead of where radfrod will ever be it's not even measurable. We need someone like him to come in and start the ball rolling for a year or two and then let someone else come in and take the reigns

Differance between smith and bennett, is multiple premiershhips, league titles, world club titles, state of origin titles, smiths done none, hence why hes at the worst team in the league coaching and bennets still at the top of his game, currently sat at the top of the telstra nrl ladder

Trophies won is irrelevant. Where we're at is that we need someone with experience to come in and put in place the systems, processes and structures that the club needs as a springboard to improve. radford never had a chance of being able to do it as he hasn't got the experience. smith has, simple as. If you can't see what the club needs then you're as myopic as pearson

I do agree with what your saying BUT, we need to get away with this "smith is god" garbage, he did well for fc 25 years ago, yes, 25 years ago!!! The game has moved on significantly since those days, im not bagging his coaching abilities, but the supporters are beginning to sound like newcastle fans regarding keegan.... if the hits the fan, straight away, everyones like, get smith in...... please, the mans been on the scrapheap in the nrl for a whille now, known as a perennial loser..... harsh but facts dont lie....

I do agree we need experiance, but as with pryce and minichello, they do well for 2 years then were back to square one......needing another replacement, we as a club dont seem to have much foresight when it comes to descions like this........signing bang average joe such as michaels springs to mind, but . we need an experienced coach, preferably with super league experience who we can see having the job for 5 years or so.... getting smith in for 2 years does bugger all in my opinion....... and as ive stated, powell, justin morgan daniel anderson, tick all them boxes.....

powell would never leave cas for us and neither anderson or morgan have any desire to coach in the UK again as far as I'm aware. In fact Anderson has been out of coaching for much longer than brian smith. smith is no coaching god but he's much, much better than any of the realistic alternatives we seem to have

I cant argue that smith would be better than radders no doubt, but the man is no mesiah.... ask the roosters about his time there.. did well at the start but got sacked after a disastrous 2012 campaign......and hasnt coached since in the nrl,,.........says it all to me, if they have no faith in his coaching abilities, then why should we ??

Isn't the point that Jakes making that he's possibly the best viable option? Not that he's the best coach in the world.



Realistically, who could we get in that's better than Smith?
