Glad he's answered mine about the tactics and team talk.

Pie Idol jesus christ.

pie idol

wtf

smith stop eating pies, how very dare you

I really couldn't give a toss where the official super league pies from, I'll be eating a Greggs one anyway

I agree



But whats a penalty pie shoot out ?

Obviously Smith has not had the chance to adjust the Lowes diet and supplement programme.

Love the new moniker

Anyone know if there's a repeat I can listen to, missed it through relatives visiting.

it will come up on i player as listen again within next few hours

Nice to hear half of mine got read out...before Smith was even there!

interesting to hear gatcliffes comments about 120% support.

Did it get to 120%? I thought it was only 110%.

there's a 10% margin of error.


i honestly thought he was going to give a crap answer to that, seemed like he was dilly dallying rather than just saying "yes" then he made that bold statement. as said elsewhere, this should be the starting point that fizzled out from 2004 now.

Yes, it was positive answer from him, he actually came across alright. I suppose we will have to wait and see what players Smith doesn't see eye to eye with and whether the board will back him if he chooses to release any high profile players.

I know it's not offical but bbc news refer to smith as 'Head Coach'

He referred to himself as that on the interview on the skysports website too!

Multiple references from Gatclife to Head of Coaching and Rugby.

From Smith's comments on the official site there is no doubt that he calls all the shots and Lowes is there to assist. Tony Smith's official job title could be The Wizard of Oz - it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference in reality.

He's running the show now, this is his baby and for the first time since Cull arrived in 2002, there is a completely new influence on the playing side. Amen to that.

Is it just me, or would the comments made by Gatcliffe last have been laughed off and ridiculed a month ago?

Amazing how much one person can change the outlook of thousands

Good show last night - very interesting to hear Tony elude to the fact that if things 'off the field'

are not what he would expect from professional SL players it is his job to rectify it. He also commented that he had 'heard' things are not right at Warrington in this regard.

Looks like it going to be last orders for a few guys.

Exciting events at The HJ this week. Tony Smith spoke well and realistically last night on Radio Manchester and has the full backing of Andy Gatcliffe.

He can hire and fire players as he likes. Smith said that he won’t be rushing into judgements on players. Wisely he will stand back and observe for a while.

It could be the kick up the proverbial that such as King etc need. Professionalism has dawned, after years of shambolic amateurism at our beloved club.

A shock is around the corner me thinks for a few of the highly paid, underachievers at the Club!

"And so it should be"!!!

am i missing summat or has the listen again function only got half the show?
