Has anyone watched the video online? Moz had a little chuckle to himself when Hemmings mentioned this.

For what it's worth Morley thinks he'll be a good fit. I know who's advice I'd rather take

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

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.






I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Having less hammerings would be an improvement!

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

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

The Biffs Back wrote:Has anyone heard any whispers with regards to Tony Smith for next season?
I was speaking to an ex Hull FC player on holiday and he told me that he reckons that he'll be going there next season to replace Brett Hodgson?

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.
