Sorry to hear of you Trinity fans' troubles.

But, as a Leyther, I'm grateful that it has at last diverted the media circus away from Rowley and Brierley!

Good luck with the new appointment.

MC & the team have done a wonderfull job no one can deny that if they had not come in when they did we would have been up the creek without a paddle so to me its down to coaches and players. By far the priority for me is to find someone whome all or the majority of the players will respect and perform for, if players and coach don't hit it off even when they are getting paid to do so then i am afraid it wont work, so to this end what worries me is will the players who came because BS was here respect the new coach. Maybe before making a final decision MC should consider asking the players if they are comfortable with the appointment.

Must say that I am also saddened by Brian's unexpected departure .In addition to having a coaching CV of a very high standard he was a very professional 'frontman' for Trinity,gaining us respect in the RL world that had not been ours in a long while. Again this is echoing the thoughts of others, but I am also one who does not comprehend the bile being directed towards MC. What if he decides to say 'enough is enough'? Some will no doubt be ecstatic ,but will the same ones be still supporting the club when the then inevitable happens and we end up in championship 1?

Brian Smith wrote this on his facebook wall. It's on public settings so I don't feel like I'm sharing something that shouldn't be shared:

"What a great night with the true believers of WTW!

Thank you one and all.

Bit of headache, sides still aching from lots of laughs. So many thank yous for sharing your own stories of love for a great old club.

For those who want to know I am on my way home to Oz.

My own health my family and those two lovely grandkids matter most to me.

Others may not understand but heading the coaching part of a footy club where costs are cut to the bone takes a huge commitment and loads of energy.

All coaches at every level count on support of all kinds to get the job done. That's when it's really fun and amazing things can happen - it happened at Hull FC and wow it happened at Bradford Bulls too.

Lots of people said very nice things about me then but the truth was it was the belief and commitment of the whole place that led to great successes.

You people who love WTW or are just footy lovers need to react before it's too late for a great old club.

Yes I believe it's that serious.

Ask better questions if you want to discover the REAL TRUTH."

What’s the "REAL TRUTH?"

Re: Brian smith quits!! : Thu Mar 10, 2016 10:19 am  

Accordingto MC he got a call from another clubs CEO asking about the vacancy BEFORE Brian had resigned. So Brian was telling other clubs beforehis employer. Not very professional !

Re: Brian smith quits!! : Thu Mar 10, 2016 10:29 am  

Sounds like he had a good night out!!
The last sentences are all very cryptic Brian! It would of been more helpful if he had said what he knows, rather than just leave us all scratching our chins!!!!

How can we REACT if we dont know what to react to?

We would all like to know that, but I fear we never truly will!

'When costs are cut to the bone'??? Be interesting to know exactly what he meant by this.
