Would you do with Brian Smith ?

[dj_sta]

Considering the start we have had this season, and the 2 years previously. Based on the results on and off the field what would you do ?

Hope he has the balls to sack bwaith and fpn, these two just dont cut it, and theri poor performances lower the bar and frustrate the rest of the team, who i think have great potential...... dont panic

round 4 sack the coach thread. fmd

who is available to replace him. jt who fills his shoes?????
bull$hit about bellache

get over it . we all know what a positive change we need. but others dont. sack the coach is not an option. i am happy not getting any media crap at this stage of the year

Daniel Anderson is good replacement. He's won the big one (admittedly in Superleague but a win's a win)

Admittedly he and Morts have a past but considering the fact that Kris Keating isn't playing for us, he would pick him.

[The Pelican]

Let him see out his contract, then bring Bellamy in for 2014.

[mightyrooster]

He should see out his contract. I don't see an option for this in the vote???

[Ray Stehr]

Replace him with Taylor until we can get Bellamy.

Didn't DA pick Mortein for his debut, and coached him thru to the GF in 09???

I don't recall anything bad between the two, but maybe I'm wrong there.

Either way, DA wouldn't last a week with our fans, the death riding would begin when he picked his 1stlineup.

That said I have always liked him as a coach but IMO he's a mini-Smiff. He coached under him at Watsa and he's a former schoolteacher and he's led 2 sides to GFs in the NRL with only a donut to show for his efforts.

He'd get belted at this club.

I read about some bad blood between them at Parra, Kris Keating was preferred as half but I think that might be scuttle.

One question, taking the Carney Dally M year out of his list, how many games has Brian Smith coached that they've won?

I agree Roosdaman. Smith has depth at his disposal to replace non performers.
Like you, i just hope he has the balls THIS YEAR to blood the likes of Moga, Bosden, Tagive, Henry & Dumbrell. I gave Smith the benefit of the doubt last year for not dropping players due to our injuries toll however NO EXCUSES THIS YEAR. He's never going to know if he don't give them a go. Furthermore, the axed players will get a reality check playing for the Jets.

The only time you will see Braith Anasta at Newtown will be if he wants to go to Gould's bookstore.

I thought Smiths contract is up at the end of this year... Thats why I didnt put it up

Four year contract starting 2010.

Well it's 50% this year. Last year we missed the semis by a game or two so it would've been just under 50%. Add in 2010, after all he was the coach, and we finished 6 th from memory, win/loss for more than 1/2 the season, so I'd say just over 50%.

Without doing the math, cos I couldn't be arsed, I'd guess about 50%???

I think it was Kearney who dropped Mortein. And look how well thats worked since.

Oh dear !
