I'm sorry this is just ridiculous, not only do you call OBrien championship standard...(Chris Hill was once Championship standard BTW) you then think Tony Smith is either Stupid or Arrogant..........a bloke that has delivered more silver ware than the previous (at guess) Ten wire coaches, stupid and arrogant he is not.
and No the Darryl Clarke money should not have been spent on a top class half otherwise you would have bored the crap out of us with the same "arrogance or stupidity" nonsense over Smiths failure to replace Michael Monaghan.
two seasons without a trophy and people post this arrogant and stupid crap...........
I forgot biscuit that you're the only one entitled to opinion on this forum, who very rarely reads posts properly
I raised that the fact that Smith has not addressed the half back problem for two seasons, and every fan, bar you can see where the issues lie, so I stand totally by that point. To not have addressed it shows he doesn't recognise where the issues lie. At no point did I raise what he's science achieved in the past
Smith has brought his out if work mate on board, so took Hull backwards, has took France backwards
If you don't think we're screaming out for an organising half, then you're obviously deluded. So IN MY OPINION the team would be performing far better with a class half, and for this season we could have easily coped with Higham and AN other at hooker.
Let me remind you that O'Brien is 23 not a total novice, who had been sold to Bradford who are a championship club, so stand by my point again. Chris Hill was championship strandard but was on the rise, O'Brien had been here and had gone backwards.
After St Helens Smith labelled the kicking game a bit off. 7 of O'Briens first 8 kicks went down the full back or wingers throats, The mark of quality half? Yet he does it week after week, and gets no blame apportioned, so Smith sees nothing wrong
