A true indication of whether Smith has lost the dressing room.

[Guest]

Will be whether he can get these blokes up again for next week and the remainder of the year.

If they turn up their toes and get flogged next week I think it's safe to assume he's lost em.

If they come out and compete then I think it's equally safe to assume all this talk of him loosing the players is bullshit.

Chook.

Twice in one year tells me no lessons were learnt the first time this stupid side snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Therefore, I have no confidence that any lessons learnt and the subsequent motivation will be on display in the next game.

Doesn't really matter now because our season is over. Didn't the team win it's last 5 games or something last year and we can see where that got us this year. Not to sure where I stand on the Smith issue, but I do wish he said to Braith at the start of the year you can play in the back row and remain captain until you retire as a Rooster! For me, I am a Braith fan, like everyone else I know he is not a 5/8, but he is a good player and a great captain. I reckon we will miss him in 2013. He is a true Rooster, did you see his face after the game last nite.

He was busted emotionally - really derserved his 25oth game to be a win.

Gave me a sign that maybe the Tigers could have some fun with him yet.

Big deal he makes an effort in the 1 game all season and that only because it was his 250th. Shows his selfishness.

If he put in this much effort in all the other games would be a good start.

Good riddance.

Good player and great captain he is not. Check his stats for the year, they are the worst for any 5/8 in the game. And in the Warriors match over in NZ early this year Anasta ran the ball 0 times, for 0 metres and 0 line breaks and was on the paddock for 80mins. That's neither a good player nor great captain, that's contempt, which is exactly what I have for him!

Chook.

I guarantee you that the majority of the squad dont like smith.

Imagine how good our team would be if they had a coach that they respected

[Arties Pie]

Seriously Fred if thats the case they are a bunch of Gen Y sooks, they are supposed to be well paid professionals who already know how to catch, pass, kick and tackle and please they can use their imagination to come up with some plays it's not as if they are robots who have to be preprogrammed. Football players of today have far too much influence on things other than taking care of their own game.
Imagine what Jack Gibson would say to the pussies of today, do you think he would have cared if the players like him or not.

you must be kidding right?

I said that they dont like the coach (who by the way has form in this area previously).

I didnt say that they are moaning and crying every day and are going to go on strike or anything like that.

Are you saying that you like very single person in this world that you come across or work with? You must be a perfect person if that is the case.

No that they do what they are paid to do.

Gee, if I didn't perform at work cause I didn't like my boss, I'd be in the express queue at Centrelink.

[roosterproud]

i saw a few things last night that had me wondering. is there 2 different player groups on the paddock. when we score a trylike mogas, watch who comes in, bj all excited tasi skids, jumping and so on, but others dont even offer a tap on the bum or even eye contact, mini and braith>???ponder that thought. is it the old guys v the new guys or is it nz v aust.or is some favour smith and others dont .

[Guest]

You're wasting your time artie, fredo is the cut and paste specialist when replying to posts about Smith. It's the same posts over and over and over and over and...

It doesn't matter how the players play, they hate smith. If they play well it's because they hate smith and play for each other, if they play shit it's because they hate smith and play to get him sacked or some variation of that bullshit.

Just ignore the ordinary fan with inside knowledge, he's clueless.

Chook.
