I don't think you need to be throwing words around like that. You've made your point. Ease up on the vitriol from now on please.

Brian smiths second comment he's left on Facebook is interesting. Seems to be hinting at a bad attitude and real negativity from i would assume MC. Strange one, after hearing them both talk, as a neutral I think they both make valid points. A real shame that things got so frosty that they couldn't talk through their gripes with one another. Smith has been around the block a few times and mc with all due respect is pretty new to league. Could Smith have shown a bit more patience? Could MC have shown more positivity? Smith should be respected or what he did last year in keeping wakey up because heading into June last year wakey didn't look like they'd reach the MPG let alone win it. The next move MC makes could make or break the next decade for WTW. So it's kinda strange to hear he wants a fast appointment.

As i understand it wasn't Warringtons CEO who made contact.

I'm with SP on this one

I'm not!
I think Brian smith up until the point he posted on face book was being professional . However I think he let himself down by posting cryptic messages for us all to mull over. he could of released a press release statement confirming his frosty relationship with MC. And that things had not worked out as hoped etc etc etc.. He then should of either kept quiet or come out and told us all how serious it all actually is!!!! If it's all as bad as he thinks!!
As for central heating gate... I do get the concept of looking after the players but with the situation we are in cut backs are inevitable and have to be made somewhere... Had trinity been 3 wins 2 loses nobody would of given a stuff about heating costs!!
I think he did some good stuff smithy, but feel the cryptic stuff let him down somewhat and was more about poking Carter in the eye than giving us fans the heads up on what's happening!!

Won't be long before everybody will be able to work it out for themselves.

I'm told it was the Huddersfield CEO and apparently it's a well known fact that their assistant coach applies for every Super League head coach job that comes up!

I think this is fair comment both seem to have been a little childish on the face of it, or probably just one of them I don't know.
I do understand the need to make an appointment fairly quickly because the new coach has to make his stamp on the team and very soon we need to start winning games. I don't want to be anywhere near another MPG.

I can understand Mr Gill ringing him up and the conversation going something like, Michael it's Steve here we need to free up a bit of cap space so if you take another one of our players off our hands I'll let you into a secret that your coach has quit, the only possible link to it is one of our ex Cas players told him prior to Smith telling Mr Carter. Apologies if I'm a mile off but it's the best I've got

Well Chiss - they are big golf buddies so I suppose it could be right. You'll probably end up with Ryan Boyle.
