I saw the episode last night. Eddie came across as a bit confused with matters!

Moz, who played under TS, said it would be a great appointment.

Did well to get a story out of Eddies ramblings

Just me who finds it pretty odd that the KR reporter is going this far out their way in regards to an FC appointment? Almost as if they seem a bit nervous.

It's extremely odd. On the other hand it is basically FC Pravda, so maybe it's part of the job description.
Now it has happened, I realise I am unfussed. He's just not that much of a divisive figure or polarising figure. Decent coach and with some players back from injury, you'll probably improve next year.

Exactly I'd rather take words of Morley who has played the game at the highest level both here and in Oz and played under Smith.

All I can say is welcome aboard Mr Smith, good luck and I hope you are the one that can at last sort out the issues within the club and re galvanise us all.

Having less hammerings would be an improvement!

He'll be another getting paid off if that doesn't come to pass.

Re: Tony Smith : Thu Sep 08, 2022 3:49 pm  

I wonder if todays events will delay any announcement by a day or 2?

Re: Tony Smith : Thu Sep 08, 2022 3:58 pm  

I would be surprised if we did announce it with what's happening with the queen

He's on a 12 month rolling contract so won't cost us that much

I would love him back at Leeds in some coaching capacity as he would be the ideal man to assist Rohan and to also help sort our terrible disciplinary record out. So it looks like "The ex Hull FC player" was actually correct with the information that he told me back in June. This would also indicate that this coaching change was actually sorted out quite a while ago too. I personally think that he'll do a great job for Hull FC just as long as Adam Pearson can let him run the side his way and not interfere as Tony Smith simply doesn't stand for any of that.
