eh and you have the balls to call me ,you sound like a right rugby pest staying in the players hotel and asking nobby do his 2nd half talk before kick off ,i bet he was saying to his self go away you mytherin wigan git ,you would myther a neeeest ov rats wouldnt you

This coming from Mickey Higham's lap dog.

back to the topic then...well sort of.

If tony is relieved of his english duties (which seems likely if we get thumped by the kiwis) who will replace him?

In Smith We Trust.

Hope he leaves his England job though.

Viva Tony

Well if the England job is for mugs - then Tony Smith is the ideal person



He was a player of no talent - inherited a Rhinos team ready to achieve & then got a call to coach GB / England

Won a challenge cup was great for us BUT lets see what he does with "his" team ?

International achievements ? Well 2007 was good cos he picked the right team, 2008 - enough said, 2009 .... well lets wait & see.

It was great to see him singing our national anthem with such passion

When is the Peacock signing announced?

That had been 'Ready to achieve' for over a decade, possibly two decades yet nobody had managed it.

after seeing what he could achieve with the crock of garbage left to him by Jimmy Lowes I can't wait to see what he does with "his" team

at the very least I wouldn't be betting against the answer being "considerably better than anything Warrington have done in Super League before"

Come back Danny McGuire, all is forgiven.

Don't worry that you couldn't kick, tackle or pass on Saturday afternoon, it was all the coach's fault.

Once Tony Smith leaves and someone else comes in, you'll win the Golden Boot. Honestly!

Not even the great Wayne Bennett himself could get this England team any success.

Not quite, previously we brought in major stars to make up the spine of the team who flopped.. Bradley Clyde, Tony Carrol, Brett Mullins.

A combination of heavy investment in the youth system reaped it's rewards and enabled the spine of the team to be made up of talented homegrown players; Sinfield, McGuire, Burrow, Diskin, Mathers, Walker etc Blended with Experience players still @ their peak; McDermott, Senior etc and An experienced Aussie in David Furner and a blockbusting winger in Marcus Bai.

True, we will never know if Leeds would have won the League Leaders shield and Grand Final in 2004, or won the WCC and lost the 2005 Challenge Cup Final and Grand Final in 2005 without Tony Smith. Or got knocked out of the play offs at the first hurdle in 2006 (by guess who).
