  • Brian Smith left us in a bad way??? LOLOLOLOOL!!   If Smith left us in a bad way i'd hate to think of the way the Bush Bum will be leaving us in.   

  • I agree mate. Eel fans r funny people. Enduring failure then dream of success by recycling a past failed coach. 9 & half seasons with no title, bolts mid season & leaves JT to salvage the mess. Yep, lets carry on the culture.

    • What mess???? Smith had been at the club for too long but he left the club in great shape.   Just a shame that Fitzy got an absolute clown to take over from him.  The club has never recovered from the Hagan appointment.

      • Hi Al, BS bolted after 7 losses & 2 wins in 2006. JT took over and achieved a winning ratio of 62% for the rest of the 2006 season, 10 wins vs 6 losses.

        I agree that Hagen was a big mistake.

      • I am not advocating for Smith as coach, i want him head of football. I was arguing against the fact that Smith left us in a bad way.  Absolute horseshit and dribble from a dopey Unicorn without a clue on the game of RL.

        I don't want Smith as coach but he would do a much better job than the dopey clown we have there now.  The game has changed this year and this dope is still playing like it's 2014.  Block plays, bombs and that shitty play out the back that has barely worked in 5 years.  

        And the roster is fucked, who's fault is that???  5 years with the same coach and this is the team he has built, and people want to give the reigns further lol Jesus tap dancing christ when is enough enough???

      • Yes.

        They simply aren’t playing for BA anymore - same squad minus Semi, plus Hayne and Evans. On paper very capable but BA can’t get them playing for him or the fans.

    • Smith has never won a premiership. Always had good players and rosters every where he has coached. The man has problems with players. In any club he is at no one is more important than BS.

      Let it die. We don't need or want him. We do need a GM of Football but not a divisive figure like BS
  • It’s about perspective. 

    BS had his faults but our club has never been so consistent in producing quality NRL players before or since BS arrived. Penrith today is almost a carbon copy of what Parra looked like in the Smith era. To suggest he left Parra in a bad day way is merely ignoring historical fact. 

    • Agreed Mutt, how many quality juniors came through in the Smith era???  And how many have come through in the year since???   Left us in a bad way lol.

    • Hi Mutts, the fact still remains that BS was with us for over 9 years & did not win a premiership for us.
