Rohan Smith would take a lot of selling to Leeds fans…

What's Smith been doing since leaving the UK?

If it’s Rohan Smith with Tony Smith in some capacity next season I reckon that’s more palatable than just Rohan Smith on his own.

We need someone now,not next season

Can’t find any trace of him being involved in pro RL since leaving Bradford 6 years ago

If that’s the case it must be a red herring. We all know how easy it is to drop something like this “from a reliable source”.

The last thing we need is someone who has not been involved in the game in the last 6 years, they will be so out of touch.

With the news about Tony Smith, I wonder if he’s coming in as DoR and GH has realised it’s time for him to step back a bit, which is what he was supposed to do with Kevin.

Id be VERY underwhelmed with Rohan Smith, but Id be VERY happy to be proved wrong.

Pretty sure he’s been coaching the North’s Devils in the Queensland Cup, they’re the broncos feeder team.

Looks like they may have won the grand final in that comp last year too.

CONFIRMED

Rohan Smith is the new coach with immediate effect.

I don't know much about him, I was expecting a more senior appointment but I' not going to waste much time debating the rights and wrongs of the appointment, it's pointless, let's see how he goes.
