A good appointment from the board. Hopefully this will, in time, be the start of us finally fulfilling our potential.

Sadly there was a mass expectation generated 2 weeks before the season started based on nothing at all really, other than we'd all missed watching wire for a few months. I'd imagine expectation will go through the roof with us having appointed a proven coach. But it will take us ta while to see the benefits.

Smith has many great qualitites as a coach, but as I mentioned last week, hiw style is completely the opposite of Lowes. Lowes wanted the Bradford of yesteryear - 5 drives & a kick. Smiths teams are based on agile, ball playing forwards, quick playe the balls. It'll take us about 5-6 weeks of unlearning everything we've done pre-season before we see the difference.

Would imagine one or two players have bunny bums about this appointment. Think there may be a bit more restriction on the good life until they earn it under Mr Smith.

Just like to point out i agree with wires71, ludicrous to delete a radio manhester thread that lets people on a rugby league forum about a rugby league program that's on especially as it featured warrington so much, i've not looked but i suppose the boots'n' all thread has disappeared to.

Just checked , no it's still on. Presumably because it was started by somebody that doesn't work for sky?

Agreed. Until the current regime is deposed, I suggest a boycott of this forum.

FREE WIRES 71!!

I dont personally disagree with you but the Admins (Site Owners) have asked us to delete threads advertising BBC Radio Shows. We are only doing as asked. If you wish to take it further please email one of the site admins,

I'm suprised by that. I could understand bbc shows that have nothing or a tenuios (sp) link to RL but this particular post has lots of relevance to this board.

This was a specific request by the admins posted only today.
