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?

No one with experience. We could always go for an untried assistant again but it hasn't worked the last 4 times so no reason to suspect it will the next

You can also see the improvement in Wakefield over the few weeks Smith has been there. Their upturn in performances is no coincidence.

Whereas there has been no improvement in us in all the time Radford has been our head coach.

Which says it all.

As Smith has said he and Wakefield are a perfect fit.

A team needing improvement and a coach and Smith to rediscover his passion for coaching and to see if he's still got it.

Yes Smith is not the long term answer but for putting in place a solid foundation and such a huge improvement over Radford it's unmeasurable I'd take Smith in a heartbeat if only our owner could see what's in front of his nose.

We are not going to recruit a top coach. The owner wont pay what's needed and no-one who has a decent job will leave it to come to Hull? Why would they? Brian Smith is no messiah but he would be an upgrade on Radford. I will be interested to see how they both do between now and the end of the season because nothing will happen before then. Despite his loyalty to Radford, subject to where and how we finish, the owner may have to change the coach if he wants to sell any season passes.

Amended to reflect reality.

Haven't had a dream in a long time

see, the life I've had

can make a good man bad



So please please please

let me, let me, let me

let me get what I want

this time

Thanks for your time, but don't call us and we promise not to call you.

For one night only Allam won't be the most monumental bell end in Hull

No doubt sheens will do the same at salford. Could be between us and widnes for the play off with leigh

Could be.

He's getting less good at this predicting lark.

It can make people look really really silly.
