Great news. Very important signing.

My brother is a good friend of Brian Smith, and Smithy only agreed to a new contract on this agreement, that is when Wakefield Wildcats are 'well adrift' at the bottom of Super League in June 2016, he can bring in 10 new players, and concentrate of the middle 8's, rather than try and climb up the SL table.

Sounds like a good deal to me

Troll fail from a Leigh fan.

What I'd do is focus on how you did in the Middle 8's rather than how we did.

Ithink its the best thing to happen at the club for quite some time. M C will have a coach at the helm that will shake things up over the next 12 months , and put the club well on the recovery path. Supporters will recognise a difference in fitness levels, set and followed game plans and player ability.
Heading to B V will become a pleasure not a duty .
! year can see Trinity turn the corner and im sure with new players on the way we are all in for a much better time.
Well done M C .

Superb news, THE most important signing we will make for next season.
Great work by MC and his team to keep hold of the guy, fantastic !

Knew you were lying when you said you and your brother had a friend, all you've got is a bunch of sour grapes and a wooden spoon!

If they're the rules, where is the problem



It's been very quiet in the suburbs of Wigan lately, did your season not quite go to plan

Smith is a massive appointment, and I'm really happy about it.

However, let's not get too carried away. The team is still the same team give or take a signing or too.
We should of course aim for the 8s but if we are in middle 8 but we are clear of the Million pound game, and we have a stable club, I'd say it was success.

Understandable post TK.I'd be frustrated and skitty if we'd failed big style.

Tremendous news - and a real sign that the club is committed to a serious change of culture next season; I hope Brian Smith agreed to stay on the proviso that he's given a free hand with all things rugby and he uses the liberty of a 1 year deal to do some difficult but necessary things.

This sends a good, strong message - I'm in.

Totally agree.
The good thing about it is that we can look forward to quality players coming in because I'm sure BS would have insisted on that.
So, it won't be the same team in any way shape or form I don't think. Even the players we have will perform differently next season, I'm quite sure of that!
