Quote: Trebor1 "In Smiths defence he's had a heck of a lot of salary cap to juggle and sort out, he may not have had the finances to bring in a high quality prop / enforcer before next season given our need at 6, 7, 9 and 1 etc. In criticism of Smith, if we really are thinking of quickly moving Frawley on then that is a huge error from him.. a really bad one, however we need to be ruthless, personally i'd be surprised if the club is writing him off so quickly, we've seen many a signing grow over a season and peak the back end and kick on the following year - but 7 is such a key position it's one where you need the player to hit the ground running really.'"
I certainly don’t think smith is stupid, you don’t get to be head coach at a big club like Leeds unless you are intelligent. However his big and major failing is he signs average players and try’s to convert them into top class players. Unfortunately he fails in that department, which for me is a cardinal sin for a coach in any sport. Can’t fathom out signing of Frawley no decent track record whatsoever. Robert’s journey man average player, thought Ryan Hall seemed a bit off the pace last night . Thought the salary cap problem was sorted out last season. Not certain what the situation regarding Leeming and Walters was, only information available was on here. Certainly the club’s information didn’t ring true. Ironic to see we’re they both ended up. If Martin goes it will be a big blow, first class professional player, brilliant goal kicker which we will miss.
