The effect he's had at Wigan has been astronomical. Clearly.

Yes, we have a smaller squad, its called the salary cap and happened at every club.

Was he now? Evidence? or are we back to assumptions again?

I'd love to know where you know all this from.


Mick Cook went to coach at York,
Wilkinson i dont know why he left, neither do you.
Barrie McDermott retired, or was he forced to by Tony Smith?
Brian McDermott went to coach Quins, or again was he forced to by Tony Smith?

i know for a fact what happened to walsh. it came from a player at the club and from a friend of walsh.

a smaller squad due to the cap. thats bollox because we never spend up to the cap

You can think what you like, but some of us know the facts.

Barrie McDermott makes no secret of his relationship with Smith and why. Go speak with him sometime, he will tell you straight. And yes he was forced to leave Leeds as a player.

Brian McDermott left because of Smith. Most people know this, and again it is not just rumours, most know exactly what happend and what was said. The players dont hide from it, they tell it straight, and were 100% behind McDermott. Its a shame the incident did not happen preseason of 2007, because had that been the case Smith would have been the one out the door.

Walsh locked horns with Smith, that is a fact, Smith unleashed his arrogance on many levels at this time. Furner was the main opponent to his rants and regularly "checked" Smith

Walsh had been working for Red Hall this year conditioning the referees, and was told to throw his hat in the ring for the Conditioner for Gb.
Along came..
Walsh never even got an Interview...

You'll forgive me DISA if I am skeptical about what you do and don't know.

Let's not forget the nosedive your credibility took over the conversation you had with Phil Daly eh?

Best just to define your posts as "opinions" until you get some cred.

Eh?

For all the sense your making you might as well be talking Polish.

Oops!

I dont think Thackray and Bailey will play tonight

You don't say.

Top coach is stuart, interesting bloke and certainly got the man management skills that Tony clearly lacks.

Pack it in you. I am having some sport with DISA here.

ANyway, you're clearly biased because of how close you are to Mrs Wilkinson.

How's the arthritis?

Not bad mate been on steroids so thats helped, coming back though, so i get out for a run out when i can. My relationship with Mrs Wilkinson is purely professional, also a good coach, grooming the young talent in Wigan

Good to hear from you. I have foolishly signed on with a Yorkshire League team so it's been dificult to get up on Wednesdays. In fact, it's been difficult to get up at all after training
