On reception - I can only read into the fact that in 2016 Leeds easily escaped the MPG and in 2017 they sit 3rd in the league and McDermott was happy with the letter. http://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/n ... er-to-fans. This is what leads me to think it was well received and had a positive effect.


Your "trump card" was in response to Sally and I'll paraphrase as you stated that Fitzpatrick couldn't use the same content as Hetherington because Leeds had won titles and most recently a treble and as far as the reception is concerned I'll ask you again to consider the comments that the fans had made below the 2017 open letter.

Regarding the positive effect well it might have bought McDermott some time and yes look at Leeds now having stuck with their coach from the previous troubled year, or are you suggesting the upturn in Leeds' fortune is all to do with the letter?

Maybe our board might follow Hetherington's example and stuck with the coach you know "emulating our more successful peers"?

It's time now to hold our nerve and stay calm. We pull off a couple of mid season signings and we should still do the double. Now then Wire Men!! Let's do the Wire Fandango Boys! Let's do the Wire Fandangooo...

So the trump card is actually a fact I have used to support my argument. OK.

Don't you think we have stuck with the coach through the barren years 2013,2014,2015,2016,2017*
Maybe we should emulate Saints and try something new.

Just where are we in disagreement? What is your your position - Keep Smith and open letters are rubbish? Or are you just being contrary.


*Likely to be barren also.

Re: Smith Out : Thu Jun 15, 2017 7:26 am  
The McDermott situation is an unfair comparison. He won lots of silverware then one year lost most of his experienced squad members whilst at the same time losing most of the preseason work due to the floods.

What we are taking about with Warrington is mediocrity for a few years followed by a good season without silverware followed by a clear decline in the ability of the squad. Remind me why he needs one more year? To prove what? We can finish mid-table with some new signings next year.

No wonder other big clubs' fans laugh at our pathetic blind hope. Maybe next year. Maybe next year we'll not finish in the bottom four. I can't wait.

I am not "JUST being contrary" at all i am trying to offer a balanced view that seemingly doesn't quite sit well with others including you and that's fine btw.

I can't disagree with the "trump card" as it is a fact what I can't fully accept is that ultimately it's use will only lead to one conclusion, rendering any other argument lost/not worth having. For example we have an open letter, the club pulls itself around we make the top 8's and win the cup, but, the answer is sack TS because we haven't won the GF yet again.

This may be the correct course of action, but, in a discussion sense it would appear that we are all wasting our time until we come to your way of thinking?

Not sure how stupid Tony Smith thinks Warrington fans are.

He'd like to win both competitions this season WOW!! I'd like to win the lottery no chance of that happening either
