Glad to hear people are listening to the pod I could have said a lot more on the situation but it was actually an add in to discuss and was really planned
What I will say is not everything is so binary, not wanting RS sacked doesn’t automatically mean you think he’s the coach to take us onto a period of success.
And there has been mitigating factors, you can’t just deny them.
The squad an cap was in a right state, it’s ok looking at other coaches coming into other clubs and doing well but as I say it’s not binary there are loads of factors at play that make A. A coach successful B. A team successful and C. Sustaining that success.
I’ll stick to my opinion that sacking Smith now will not be the way to achieve the above.
If smith went thats 4 mid season sackings of coaches in 6 years. It might appease the angry fans but it’s ultimately not achieving what they want.
I’d personally look at a director of Rugby and better support staff for next year.
But as I’ve said before I think Smith may well leave of his own volition at the end of the year anyway.
