"The players have to make a choice. They can either go and sulk or stick with me and try to rectify things.
I think there is a big clue in that particular statement....I think Smith as already recognised that we have a few players who are feeling sorry for themselves, and without sounding dramatic, these players would prefer to be anywhere but Warrington RLFC.
There are the obvious candidates that this is aimed at, Monaghan and King's alleged homesickness, Gleeson's desire to move countries, and there are undoubtedly others that we can only speculate about.
I believe Smith's most immediate job is to inject some passion back into the club....This has been missing for a good while, not just during this run of results...I think we need to find 2 or 3 characters, not neccessarily world-beaters, who can lift a side through sheer enthusiasm...A Nat Wood, a Brad Drew, a Ryan Hudson, players, who whilst limited ability wise, have the knack of lifting a team, and with it, the crowd and all around them.
