Hull KR boss Tony Smith has made the shock announcement he won’t be coaching the club next season.
The ex-England chief, 55, had been in talks to extend his contract which runs out at the end of the current campaign. But, catching many people by surprise, he revealed at his weekly press conference on Wednesday that he will stand down at the end of this season - hinting at a breakdown with the club hierarchy.
"I won't be coaching here beyond the end of this year," said Smith. "I'm going to step aside and hand it on to the next person to pick up. It's the best thing for the organisation.
