Top coach, to make something out of this season considering the poor start is an amasing achievement.

I hope everyone here remembers how good winning the CC feels, because you're still going to have off-days even with Smith around.

The turnaround in players like Briers and Mathers (if you want a laugh, have a read at all those anti-Mathers threads on the Wigan boards) really shows how good a man-manager Smith is, despite some of the cobblers posted by some Leeds fans. He may not get it right with all players - some may not even like him very much - but he seems to get the best out of most of the players he has.

I'd expect that Smith would be looking at a couple more changes in squad before Wire are ready to really challenge for the GF. But even if you don't win anything for the next year or two, you've broken the trophy drought. As a Leeds fan I can empathise fully with how good a feeling that is.

Its been going on a while,Mathers scored a try at wembley yesterday and got a winners medal plopped round is neck,Do you think we are d bout what the wigan fans think most of the time there to busy comparing Feka to andy platt and sam tompkins to andy greg Not got a clue..

Eddie Hemmings "there were no games last weekend in the Engage Superleague but we have some massive fixtures this weekend as Warrington travel to Hull KR.
Warrington may be a little tired as they played in some game or other at the weekend,
but enough of that back to The Engage Superleague.........stevo how good is this years competition...?" [/iicon_frustrated.gif

He seems to be a great coach, so that just shows how far behind the players are at international level??

It WILL get mentioned especially having 2 Wire on the show

Saw Stevo after the game in the Baker Street area.

Gave him a load of abuse/light-hearted banter. He took it quite well, especially the 'One Eddie Hemmings' chant

In League Express today, Stevo says that the Hull KR game is just as big a game as the CC Final.

Yep, especially if we harbour play off ambitions.

Well, he's off his head then isn't he.

It isn't.

It's a big game as it can open up the opportunity for us to compete to win another trophy, but to win it would be incredibly difficult. It'd be like winning the Challenge Cup by beating Hull KR Away, Leeds Away, Wigan Away, Saints at Wembley, you'd think "Crikey, that was a tough run", folk would moan about hot balls, fixes, and all that.

To try and do that, backing up every week, no way.

In reality, all it opens up is an extension to our season, probably for at best a fortnight. It saves you getting really into the X-Factor for a bit longer like.

Quite. I look like the forum misery guts now, but some folk are getting a bit carried away.

one word sums the man up imo
