Smith sacked. Official

[Vasco]

SBW would be in the loop with everything.

They'll probably ask the carrnt who HE wants.

That's how we roll.

You would imagine his choice would be a good one.

[Bansai Pipeline]

It was inevitable, he chose this squad and thus he needed to make the top 8 with this squad. Letting Ryles go was what tipped me.

What I will say positively about him is that for all the crap about him not developing or exposing players the club is in a much stronger position with guys like RTS, Moga, Tupou, Tagive, SKD, JWH, Kennedy, Friend, Aubusson, Guera, Cordner, Tasi & Arona all either having improved or getting a good taste of footy over his three year tenure. This is more than we could say when we've parted ways with the last few coaches. I was too young to remember that transition of Murray to Stuart but having looked back at those teams there's certainly a sense of similarity in developing a good squad.

Whether you like it or not he's also cleaned the place up, as a supporter 2009 was easily the worst season I've ever had to endure. Waking up every morning to a headline that made a mockery of our club. Losing is one thing but being the joke of the league just takes it to a whole new level, I was on the bandwagon to keep Carney but I sit on the fence now having experienced a trouble free season where the worst thing is just a loss.

I don't hold any hard feelings towards him, I think he genuinely gave a shit about the club and he's copped this on the chin and will move on.

I thank him for everything he's done but the club has made the right decision.

Classy post.

I'm with you.

Good luck to you, Brian.

Here's hoping we see your hard work at Bondi pay dividends down the track.

Tunks mentioned Robinson is first in line just then on 2SM.

Surely Sonny-Bill is a big Matty Elliot fan?

Dean Pay has just been thrown into the mix

Do u guys rate him??

He was our defensive coach under Stuart in 2002 when we changed the game.

I don't know how he'd go as a head coach.

You wouldn't fcuk with him though.

He looks like murder.

I would like to see us be a Club that promotes from within, so if Taylor gets a go I can live with it. If we look outside my preference would be Daniel Anderson. If we go the assistant from another club, I'd look at Kevin Walters or Jim Dymock.

Very well said R6. Brian has done a hell of a lot for our club in developing the young blokes and he deserves a lot of credit for it. Not that he'll get it. It is very similar to the G Murray situation, where the next coach along (Stuart) was able to benefit from Murray's development of players. The only difference is we had more senior players back then, which made quick success easier than what it will be this time around.

Carney would never have survived at the Roosters long term no matter who the coach was. The media whores would make sure of that. He is protected where he currently is, protecrion he never had when he was with us. To blame Brian Smith for the bloke's inability to keep out of the headlines is wrong in my opinion.

Hopefully Brian Smith finds himself a new position whether here or overseas, as his ability to develop players shouldn't be lost to the game.

Exactly, for every year that elliott was at the panthers he was in the firing line.

[Big Poppa Pump]

He might just be right.

Pay is content being Sticky's assistant @ Parra next year.

i know robinson is a favourite here on the forum... but what has he actually achieved and what are his credentials?

catalans finished 6th last year and are coming 4th atm...
i know people said that he was well liked in 2010 but there were plenty of other factors that influenced our success that year..

anyone care to elaborate on his hype?

[Guest]

How about this?

Head Coach - Bellamy
Assistant - Trent Robinson
