Cullen did get a few decent performances to be fair.

DVDV, Anderson and Plange never ever had a squad of players as good as what Cullen and Lowes had at their disposal.

Ever since Jimmy got the role full time the players have not performed. It will be very strange if they did start performing on Sunday, no?

Warrington barely performed between the final game of 2005 and last Friday night

And it wont be strange if they suddenly become world beaters on sunday,no?

There are certain individuals in that squad who should have been dismissed long a go for gross misconduct, non performance and down right lack of respect for their employers.

If Smith is to succeed in any way shape or form he needs to sweep a broom right through the lot of them until he is left with the cream and all the wasters are gone.

I back Smith to sort this out if the problems, as I suspect, exist.

Im going

YESSS!!!!

I will be attending as usual

I'll be going!

Im not got given a ticket but due 2 goin london I can not go but my brother and my mums mates are going

Was always going ,i have a season ticket and had
booked for quins away too,but i think the board
have reacted because this home game is one of the
four top earners crowd wise, and the vibes were
quite a few were going to stay away ,todays news
seems to have sparked at least some renewed interest.

I see though in one interview that Smith is letting lowes
pick the team saying that jimmy knows the players
better at the mo,however if Kev Penny is selected
and we go with 2 hookers i would suggest Smith
would have had some input.

Good appointment long term by the time the
next franchise rolls around we should have a
decent crop of our own trained youngsters with
experience and desire and the deadwood should
be long gone

Me now that Smith's coaching you. Was going to see one of the CC games involving foreign sides before Thursdays news.

Can't wait to laugh in the face of your new found confidence.

I'm not saying that false dawns and wire are synonymous but...

I'm going, living up in the lakes and racing bikes means I have to pick my games and I was dreading having picked this one... Reckon we'll still get snotted but worth it to give Smith a good welcome.


I'm guessing the first cries of "Smith out!" will start around 60 minutes

What makes you think Hanley will be any better? Since Saints, hasn't had a few placements where he's walked out? I know he has a reputation for no messing around, but when our lot stick two fingers up do you think he'd stay? At least Smith has still been involved in the game rather than spending the last few years skirting aound the outside.

That said, how many games will the Southstanders give him before calling for his head?

Is that who it is? Lost another council election has he?
