Is he an S&C guy? Ours at Hull has just left .
Sounds like we've lined up uncle Tony up, who he'll presumably know

He's off to do more movies with Simon Pegg.

never quite figured out what his actual role at the club was

Like a few others within the club over the years, I never figured out how they got there in the first place.

About time somebody got a grip - shame Sinfield couldn't do it when he was there. Hopefully Smith ends up with a ninja force of backroom staff for next season. This is elite sport not a rest home for waifs and strays.

He was/is an S and C guy but considered to be a bit of a comedy figure by many fans. He carries a bit of excess timber and his glasses were often skewwhiff.
This is probably unfair as we won a lot of stuff when he was in the role.
He has been pushed to one side a bit in recent years.
He worked with Tony Smith at Hudds and Smith made
Him Head Conditioner when he was England coach, so could see him going to FC.

3 on the outer.

Sean Long is leaving as assistant coach, JJB moving to a new role within the club, Jason Davidson on the way out. Massive shake up.

About time too - shame Agar didn't have the nuts to do it either

Is JJB going to run the foundation - he would be excellent at that.

Longs quote is interesting, infers that he's chosen to leave because of a change in his responsibilities. Great opportunity for Smith to build the team and staff the way he wants.
