Vice-captain Elliot Minchella says it’s a “load of rubbish” Hull KR have stopped playing for outgoing boss Tony Smith.
The confidence-battered Robins host Catalans Dragons on Saturday bidding to avoid a fourth straight defeat. Their dismal run largely coincides with Smith’s shock announcement he will leave at the end of the season. Before that, KR were flying on a five-game winning run.
They then defeated Wakefield but have since been embarrassingly nilled by Leeds (12-0) and Castleford (32-0) either side of Huddersfield (25-4) easily dumping them out of the Challenge Cup semi-final. Australian Smith has come under fire with many critics feeling he's lost the dressing room given his own players were stunned by the timing of his decision.
