Oh and as a P.S. we once had a coach, you may remember him, I think his name was Smith – didn’t rate a young winger by the name of Fox and let him go. Then that very same coach later went on to select him to represent his country.

I bet he feels embarrassed now hey? Or do you think he would stand by his decision that he made at the time?

You know what it's like on here mate people are more motivated by one-up-manship rather than giving an honest opinion!! Some will never let it go!!

Smith has total control of playing staff at Leeds so it was him who allowed Fox to go.

Too right mate – like I know that you have a differing opinion about Hall than I do, but that’s what it is, an opinion and you are just as entitled to yours as I am to mine.

It just seems that if your opinion blows in the face of the opinion of the masses certain factions of this board try to lampoon you.

Now I’m big enough and ugly enough to take it but there are several that I know of who have stopped posting on here for that very reason.

I don’t – as I don’t know that it was Blueys decision to put Hall on the wing and Smith in the centres rather than sign a specialist centre.

I made an assumption that the head coach has some say on the team under his charge – not an unreasonable assumption to make I don’t think.

I think you will find Smith has serious control over a number of Leeds players despite now being coach of Warrington.
