Quote: bewildered "worst kept secret ever. When Cullen went it was rife that Smith would take over from 2010. I hope he does well but Warrington are a far different team than what Leeds was when Smith took over. He has a big job on his hands thats for sure. I mean he didnt do all that well at Hudds with a load of Aussies, came to Leeds and had a nucleus of local talent and did well. Now are Wire its yet again a load of over paid cr4p Aussies'"
I'd disagree slightly with that comment as the number of young players we have coming through now is one of the best in SL - albeit as a result of injuries in previous seasons. Penny, Mitchell, Cooper, Blythe ..... and there are a few more. On top of that, John Bastian (remember him - responsible for your youth set-up in recent seasons) and Peter Farrell (Andy's dad) are currently signing some top youngsters (15-17 year olds) from both the local area and further afield - Yorkshire, Cumbria & South Wales.
Most fans will be happy to give Smith the time if he achieves what he did at your place - it's much better than carrying on with Lowes on his own, who was obviously out of his depth.
