He referred to himself as that on the interview on the skysports website too!

Multiple references from Gatclife to Head of Coaching and Rugby.

From Smith's comments on the official site there is no doubt that he calls all the shots and Lowes is there to assist. Tony Smith's official job title could be The Wizard of Oz - it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference in reality.

He's running the show now, this is his baby and for the first time since Cull arrived in 2002, there is a completely new influence on the playing side. Amen to that.

Is it just me, or would the comments made by Gatcliffe last have been laughed off and ridiculed a month ago?

Amazing how much one person can change the outlook of thousands

Good show last night - very interesting to hear Tony elude to the fact that if things 'off the field' are not what he would expect from professional SL players it is his job to rectify it. He also commented that he had 'heard' things are not right at Warrington in this regard.

Looks like it going to be last orders for a few guys.

Exciting events at The HJ this week. Tony Smith spoke well and realistically last night on Radio Manchester and has the full backing of Andy Gatcliffe.

He can hire and fire players as he likes. Smith said that he won’t be rushing into judgements on players. Wisely he will stand back and observe for a while.

It could be the kick up the proverbial that such as King etc need. Professionalism has dawned, after years of shambolic amateurism at our beloved club.

A shock is around the corner me thinks for a few of the highly paid, underachievers at the Club!
