Forget what happened at the World Cup, SL is a different propostion, and with a proven track record Smith is the man to take us forward.

A great day to be a Warrington fan, as an exciting new era begins.

NOW THE WIRE!

I am a bit shcked to say the least.

Jimmy jumped from Salford when he didn't get the job there so I am suprised that he is staying with what seems like a demotion. I would expect Jimmy to gradually be sidelined and would not expect him to be around come the end of the season.

Well Doug Hoyle was right we were going for a world class coach with a proven track record. Just took nearly a year thats all.

All in all I think this is a really positive move, although I dont know what he will be able tp do in three days.

In 3 days, hopefully, he will be able to impress on the players the importance of giving 100% for 80 minutes, and defending the try line as if their lives depended on it, as they did for the first 50 minutes at Knowsley Road.
I hope for a win on Sunday, but will accept defeat if they give their all in the cause.
Now looking forward to Sunday.

Apologies for being Naiive, but what exactly does a Director Of Rugby do?

Previous incarnations, such as Director of Football at Newcastle, and Director Of Rugby at Leeds and Castleford didn't last long, did they?
