What Smith Wanted

[Guest]

Notwithstanding that we are half way through the year and I am sure even you would admit that finishing only 2 games out of the top 8 last year, we would have finished in the 8 and gone close to winning it had it not been for the off-field dramas out of Smith's control, I do believe he deserves to finish off what he started to do for the long-term benefits of the club. And you never know, he may even get some more short-term success.

Life long contract? Not even Bennett got life long from Brisbane.

A very simple question for you fred.
Would you be happy if our next coach got us to a GF in his first 2 years?
A simple one word answer of Yes or No will suffice.

Of course I would be happy.

Question for you now. Would you keep a coach if he's lost the dressing room like Graeme Murray did at the end of 2001? Or you think they should still see out another year? (after all, Murray got us to a gf in his first year as well).

Well well well.

Gibsy on 2ue just said there's drama at the roosters and that smith may not see out his contract.

As I think Gomer Pile used to say: surprise, surprise, surprise.

Have you been bombarding him as well with your rants?

Have never spoken or contacted anyone in the media about smith and son.

You should open up your mind to the possibility that what I'm saying may be the truth.

Fred whether you are right, wrong or indifferent is irrelevant. You an an obsessed tool and most on here are sick of your obsessed ravings.

If Smith gets sacked you will still be a tool.

So you are happy with Smithy's first two years and this year is half gone. As Gomer Pile said, well goooooorrrrrlllllyyyyyy.

If I find out from a reliable source that Smithy has lost the whole dressing room and not just one or two prima donna's like Anasta then I am sure Politis will get rid of him and I would agree. But there is nothing to suggest that apart from you and Rothfield.....hmmmmm.

All I heard Gibsy say was that there are some rumblings at the Roosters. Did he say that Smithy may not see out his contract? They were going to interview Mini. Did they ask him about the rumblings?

He has lost enough of the dressing room to matter.

As for Gibsy, all he said was that there's drama at the roosters and that smith may not see out his contract. Then after a short break he said that the rumblings are something about lots of raised voices lately. Gibsy then later during the show asked mini if everything was alright at the club because there's some rumours saying otherwise and mini said everything is sweet.

Brandy just said that we are playing a great brand of footy.

Gibbsy said the same thing on NRL Daily and the look on Freddy's face was priceless. He made some comment about how the Roosters always get rid of coaches...Ouch! I blame NRL Daily for encouraging tools, I mean fans, to tweet them with rumours so they can discuss them on telly. That's just lazy and dangerous 'journalism'..

[Guest]

Who do you think I am listening too if you think I am listening to one side of the argument too much?

Maybe not one side of the arguement, but more a section of the scenario.

Anyway my post was more a way of one of my personalities coming around to agree with you.

The Smith coaching ability is only one of the factors that have the Roosters where they are.
You are right in that he has lost the team to a certain extent, but I do not detect a strong disrespect that often comes with this.
A big factor that has not led to the total disfunctionality is the tightness of the playing group.

Hope the Parra Eels take him back
Himdmarsh said this year that the Eels recruitment hasn't been the same when Smith left.
Please Smith go to the Eels.
Lets get Ricky Stuart

Its quite interesting that the rumours that people like Fred get excited about (as in this case) probably have their source of origin as his own uneducated ramblings.

Why does smith take nuasala off so early he can play first 40 easy last year at penrith v roosters game he was taken off about 15-20 min my seats are not far behind and he was spewing asking the trainer why he's off so early ever since then he's kept takin him off??

Im not going to get into this whole coach slanging match and i even think smith has done a good job with a young squad however fred is 100% right in that smith has lost the dressing room. I speak to a lot of players due to same age and living in the east and i can tell you they cannot stand brian smith. The players do not hold back in telling everyone how much they hate smith. The rumours of text msgs at all hours of the night are true and they cant stand him as a person. They belive time has passed him by and he has no idea of how to play the modern game.

Pearce hates the way smith wants to play and he needs structure in his play,he knows he is no T Carney and likes to have forwards hit it up then have plays and moves yet smith has no plays just wants everyone to play whats in front of them,even if most of them dont even understand what that is. Carney is in his ear about getting out but he loves the club. Anasta, who should thank smith for even being in the team, is the same and is no longer on speaking terms with Smith. Tom symonds,ant mitchell and bosdon think smith has it in for them.

I dont want the club to sack smith because of players not being happy, the style of footy we play puzzles me and if we dont improve then he needs to go. I believe smith has done a good job with the young players so this is not another smith bashing post, just wanted people to know its true the players are unhappy. Hopefully we win on sunday and can turn our season around otherwise this will just keep getting worse.
