I know all those players we've lost when at the top of their game! stupid smith and his horrible attitude if he was a nicer bloke we could sign Platt, Acton and hock...get a grip tony.

but would leigh if they was in the same position as Warrington ? Doubt it but we are trying to get to superleague with a 500,000 budget not 1.8 million so who knows

slstats.rlfans.com/index.php?fixture=353 Well here's who you ed your money away on the last time you had the opportunity to spend 1.8 mill

I'm sure there's plenty more expensive thugs for you to purchase. Wigan might be shipping a few out after today...so fill yer boots.

Paul Wood?

Does loaned off and released count...? Penny & Riley?

Tony Smith is very loyal to his players expecting the same in return, some may say he's too loyal, if anything you get the feeling he doesn't know the best time to release players, non the less he's not prone to outbursts of petulance and treats all his players as though they are one of the family, I feel he took the Higham matter personally as he did Rowley's comment, which shows he has all his players welfare at heart be it they stay or leave.

Comments in this weeks league express, sounds like smith has took this personally as he went to bat for mickey at his last contract, the club wanted to offer him 12 months and smith persuaded them to give him two. So obviously having done him a solid(for mickey and his young family) he's been let down by mickey this time around.

Two years ago a 1 year offer to Higham would have seen you without your best 9 in 2014.

Why would a one year Mickey Higham contract extension have affected Michael Monaghan?

If I have one concern about Smith is that he does seem to take events very personally. Seems inevitable this starts to happen the longer a coach has been at one club and worked with the same players.

Why is this thread still going,he as gone move on find something else to talk about.
