Is the press conference live on Sky Sports News? Doubt it will be.

There rumours going round seem to gathering momentum as with regards to Tony Smith, I think the momentum will of gathered pace through these forums and people claiming to be 'in the know'.

TS apparent impending appointment at Wire may well pave the way for Noble to return as full-time England coach, therefore leaving us in the mire searching for a new coach.

Or have these rumours surrounding Eddie Jones and Farrell actually been true and thier appointment waiting for Noble's appointment at England?

May of added 2+2 and got 5 but the connections between them all are becoming clear IMO.

On the other subject I Suspect it will be Schofield!
After being in the company of both of them at Mike Greg's funeral and watching their Awful behaviour that day they do appear to be "Thick as Thieves" and Schofield will fit in with Gouldings Personality.


Someone on Redvee reckons its Sculthorpe, which comes straight from Goulding himself.

He was a good strong hooker whilst playing, who ran on fire and brimstone, but you'd hardly call him a scholar of the game. His early years, when he was at Leeds for example, were characterised mainly by fighting, and even while he was at Bradford, I rarely saw an interview with him when he didn't come over as being pretty thick. Eddie and Stevo loved him too, which is sure sign that he was intellectually challenged.

Even now, rumours are rife that he's been losing it on the touchline and offering fans out. What an inspirational figure - not.


:lol: So true. On the Lowes front it was very much a bad knee jerk reaction to appoint him in the first place. Never the right man to take us forward after Cullen, he was always seen as stop gap between appointing a world class coach and bring overall change to the stature and culture of the club. Hopefully now working alongside Smith the future looks alot better.

No point in a director of rugby - if Wire were serious about challenging for honours they would sack Lowes and appoint Smith as head coach straight away. Unless its some sort of plan to get Lowes to walk rather than sack him as i'm sure he wont like Smith meddling with his team.

This is what it says on Sky Sports
Tony Smith has been appointed Warrington's new head of coaching and rugby, but will continue in his role as England head coach in a part-time capacity.

It says he is Head of Coaching
