In a fight?

Wane all the way, he'd rip him a new one in seconds.

Struggled with Huddersfield though didn't he.

quite the reverse actually.

He got them relegated in his first season.

they were relegated, and would've been relegated for the 3 years previously under all the other coaches, however he also got them winning games, he got them to win the old NFP and promoted then got them competitive upon their return to the top flight, which then got him a job at leeds.

Improvement, its his MO in life.

Most of us know that, best tell warrior1973. Be interesting to see wht happens at Souths next year.

I don't think Madge does coach 'exciting rugby' that's different to saying you don't play it, in the same vein Smith doesn't do anything in attack, zero, he said that at a fans forum he only works on defence and lets the players come up with the plays in attack

Wire fans will say Smith all day long and for good reason, he took a side which was more or less the same side both Cullen and Lowes under achieved with and turned them in to the league leaders, he's won us Silverware that alluded us for years and the fans absolutely adore him, he's fair and honest and a great sportsman.

Wigan fans will say Madge but obviously this is were i will sound biased, Madge took over a sleeping giant, the numero uno sleeping giant but he had a lot more at his disposal, you have the best training facilities, play in the biggest stadium, most fans, best youth system, all Wigan needed was a shot in the arm, if Smith had taken over Wigan instead of Wire i think you'd have won the same amount of trophies that Madge managed, the job in hand wasn't as big as the Wire job.

Both great coaches

And I'll add a final point to the 'NO CLUBS IN THE NRL COME FOR SMITH' comments

Smith has taken up residency here and has gone on record saying he has no interest in going back to Aus, the agents and club owners are aware of this, besides how do you know he hasn't been approached? Are you privy to all his communication?

If a coach of Smiths stature was approached by an NRL club you WOULD hear about it, even you know that.

Why would you, not all signings and enquires are public knowledge, especially when the said party isn't interested.

Complete rubbish and you know it, his brother is a big name in the NRL for a start, if his younger brother was approached by an NRL club, especially a Sydney club we would hear about it no problem.

It's like your wife asking you if you think her best friend is pretty.
