Coaches offer support
Coaches at rival clubs have offered their support for Brian Smith with Nathan Brown, Matthew Elliot and Tim Sheens all telling the Parra coach to stick to his guns, an article in The Australian said.
Brown said: ""I had a little brief period last year where I copped a bit but nothing like Smithy's copping now. And it's not something that you like to have happen to you but it is part of the job and I'm sure Smithy will push through it and come out the other end.
"It's unfortunate but he's a good fella and a terrific coach and with a bit of luck things will change for them."
