The past 8 or so games you've played though havent exactly been tough challenges, in fact they have been training sessions.

After all these easy wins you will be in for a shock once you face a tough team like Huddersfield/Catalan/Saints.

under orders to conserve energy total rubbish

I shouldn't come on here after a night out

It does seem as we haven't really got out of 1st gear though this season and are still in the top 3 but have shown glimpses of what we can do. I cant remember a game where we have played consistently well for the full 80 but hopefully this will improve. Just need to make sure we kick on now towards the end of the season else we could get left behind.

Hudds will win the league, the CC and the GF, there i said it, now all of you STFU...........[sizeand breath Yed[/size

The best coach in Superleague who was a total failure as England coach, and who the Aussies have given a big b*gger off to?

I wonder why they wanted Maguire instead?

Don't be a WUM RG, TS has stated he's settled in this country, he wouldn't go even if offered the best available club, Madge was always using Wigan as a stepping stone that's why they wanted him.

Gollocks.
If he was any sort of decent coach he would jump at the chance to prove himself at the top level. Sadly that's not over here.
Do you think he did a good job as England coach?

I was over there in 2008 and saw the shambles.

You think Bennett could coach England to a 4 nations win?

We are simply not as good as Oz and Kiwi anymore, it's a far more serious game and they play in a better league week in week out hence the reason the Oz don't pick players that come over here to our inferior competition.

You dont think Smith would jump at the chance if an NRL club offered him a coaching contract?! Get real... I actually respect you and most of your posts you seem to be one of the few level headed Wire fans on here but this is just delusional.

No I don't think that Bennett could coach an England team to a 4 nations win. But he wouldn't coach a surrender, and he wouldn't allow a "team" to split into different factions.

That was Smiths job and he failed worse than Noble ever did. I saw it at first hand.

Its not just about the money, its ambition aswell. NRL is the best league in the sport. If he has any ambition in his career which im sure he does, he would want to go and test himself there. Its not about which country is better (I also would rather live over here than over there) for me anyone involved in Rugby League over here would jump at the chance to go and play/coach/whatever in the NRL if they hadnt before.

I wouldn't, i have ambition but if it conflicts with my lifestyle i wouldn't do it.

He has two kids who are settled in Huddersfield, i think he's more concerned with his family than himself.

Its not that I'm claiming Smith could walk into a job in the NRL but using your argument what does this say about Sam Tomkins and his ambition?

He probably thinks he needs to play more than one full season before he tests himself in the NRL, and will probably be at his peak as a player when his current contract ends.

I can't imagine Tony Smith thinking he needed to go back to Aus after a single full year as a coach.
