yes I would agree with you

I remember when certain posters on here used to down play Smith's achievements around 2005 by saying it was all down to Brian McDermott, I wonder if those posters still have that opinion

I think they made a good "Team" & there was a clear visable "hangover" when Mc.D left tbf.

All that doesn't matter wrt where we are now anyway.

I would have smith again agree 2year deal reviewed with nephew as assistant maccas had a good innings time for change.

I think if we do well this season and get back into contention then McDermott has shown there maybe a little more to him as coach, that everything wasn't down to sinfield, and that he can also oversee transition.

Still not for me mate i think 6yrs is more than enough.

I think whatever happens this has to be Mac's last year at the club.Idealy a decision will be made soon that he will see out this year and it gives the club a chance to find a quality replacement and not have to scrape around for whoever is out there at the time. A respectable mid table finish and going out on decent terms would be a much preferable way to part ways than a humiliating sacking after a heavy defeat, its not the way one of our most successful coaches ever should be going.



Certainly not the man now imo to oversee the huge over haul that is needed long term.

What if in the unlikely event that we win something still keep mac?

In 2007 there was such a massive wave of get Smith out.

When?

Time will tell the jury is still out - he has yet prove without Sinfield and Peacock he can cut it

Early season after the poor 2006 and the slow start to 2007
