I posed a question to my lad the other week, if he was to go professional would he play for Wakefield or Keighley as we know Barry Eaton and he chose to play for Barry as he enjoyed being trained by him, that did surprise me for a second but then goes to show how a player can respect a coach and the influence they can have on them, while coaches come and go players then have to renew relationships with their new coaches and don't see eye to eye,
doesn't take long for them to move on then money is the big factor, I don't hold nowt against Lee for moving on let him have a reminder how good the game is in league'"
I hold nothing against Lee Smith either, fair play to him, but i think representing your country in a sport is an honour, it has nothing to do with money, he has though chosen to cross to a new sport, will not be involved in the next World Cup and has the opportunity to go out on a high, this should not be encouraged in my opinion. I again think if he had no Tony Smith connection that he would have no chance of an England shirt.
Ask Barry for my conditioning routines back they were given in goo faith to one of his players not intended for the full squad!
is that why they got promotion 
connection to TS has made the difference lets put Sykes in stead
