I’ve seen enough thats beyond embarrassing and quite honestly Smith & Gene should be out of job by the end of today.

Was never a fan of this appointment. Think they might wait until next week when we're out the cup - season over in March is impressively early even by our own recent standards.

Hoy is by far our most threatening player every game. He needs to play the full 80 every week, not start on the bench.

Which, given our financial constraints, makes the walker signing seem strange, we should have used that money to sign a better quality halfback or second rower, not just signing walker because he was available, like we did with Fonua second time round

I concur.

But he was on Tinkering Tonys bad boy list
He should have been playing at 6 with Smith whilst Walker was fit but Tinkering Tony had to find a place for Houghton.
Another big mistake but hopefully he will be gone by tomorrow

I agree I've never called for Smith to go or even considered it but that's enough for me, no other club has gone anywhere near as far backwards as we have over the last few years. I'm not even sure Shaun Wane could sort out this rabble.

Wane is exactly who we need though. I said the same when he was out of job. Missed opportunity.

Did Okunbor go off injured?
Because if not whats the point in playing him if you're going to sub him off after 20 minutes and not bring him back on.

Never mind just seen hes back on now.

Walker is a quality full back and we will need him as Hoy will not be here next season

Pearsons hands are tied financially but i do think he will sack Smith after the game and give Grix a run till the end of the season

I agree as we certainly can’t get any worse with Grix. Never been so disappointed, thought Smith was a good appointment at the time due to his record and experience but looks like he’s had Adam’s pants down well and truly.

Never-ending just seen hes back on now.

Looked like he was yanked after another poor showing shortly after Carlos went off with yet another injury.

Was prepared to give Okunbor the benefit of doubt but he makes Evans performances look good.

I bet wishes he wasn't here this season.
