Kenny sticks boot into Smith but Eric defends
Brett Kenny has told AAP that Parramatta should pay out coach Brian Smith's contract.
"If the club keep performing the way they are then no-one's going to want to play for them," said Kenny, who played 265 games for the Eels from 1980 to 1993.
"If that happens people are still going to blame the coach, who ends up leaving with a bad reputation and the club don't perform and can't buy anyone.
However, in the same article Eric Grothe gave a resounding endorsement of Smith.
"It hasn't been happening for the past four weeks but as soon as we win two in a row everyone will shut up.
Brian's a great coach. He's doing everything the coach should be doing and more. There's only so much a coach can do. We've only got ourselves to blame."

Kenny is coaching at Penrith now isn't he? He should worry about what's happening there and not concern himself with the Eels.
