You contaminate the Wigan board so know that's not accurate.

Have the high tackle rule changes for 2025 been factored into this “project” of Smiths and general recruitment?

You can bet your bottom dollar that saints and Wigan will be well, well ahead of the game on that front. They’ll have everything factored in, meticulously prepared. Nothing will stop them from job one - winning trophies.

Need to stick with him this year, as mainly his squad now. I was surprised we gave the role to a guy with no professional coaching experience. Would have made a great number 2 , with less pressure. Under his uncle? That would have been interesting….!

Good to see that people are waking up to the fact, Smith isn’t the right man for the job.
That performance was atrocious and it’s clear that he isn’t getting the best out of what he has.
Players are going backwards under him.

Re: Smith out ASAP : Sat Apr 06, 2024 2:56 am  
Frankly I think he needs to swallow his pride and admit that the whole structure is just wrong. We simply cannot give away field position as though it doesn't matter. It does matter for every other pro team in the world. You can lose the battle, but you can at least make a fight of it. It genuinely looks like the aim is to let the opposition make huge yardage and then not even try to do the same.

That bench screams that the coach really doesn't seem to value big forwards. Again, he needs to have a rethink on this, stop messing about with backs and get into a proper forward rotation with as much size and athleticism as he can find. Seriously, how much worse would TNW and Ruan have been against Wire? At least they would have got more experience. Sadly I expect the main change next game will be to bring back Donaldson.
