If Smith can't get Wire winning with a superior squad, what makes you think he'd do anything for us?

Radford sounded very emotional there.

he's having a poor spell at the moment, but his record is 2 SL wins, 3 Grand Final defeats, 3 Challenge Cups the best record of any of the coaches we even have a dream of attracting.

I wonder exactly what Tony Smith's coaching input is these days. Is he moving upstairs and far less hands on these days and is this by personal choice? Perhaps he doesn't want the day to day grind any more but having said that he is still worth making inquiries about. A reduced Smith input and the increasingly influential contribution of his new assistant certainly provides a plausible explanation for Warrington's recent downhill slide.

I'd say Brian Noble has a better record.
3 SL wins. 2 GF defeats. 3 WCC wins. 1 CC win.

But I'd still rather have Smith! :lol:

But Smith inherited a team that had won nowt with a reputation for underachieving and turned them into winners. Noble inherited a fully formed champion side and slowly engineered its decline.

A very biased assessment there.

I don't think anyone ever said he didn't care or didn't want to succeed.

Clearly he has been feeling the pressure as anyone would.

Interesting that he said he would have walked if we had suffered a heavy defeat today - did he say by 20 or 30 or by 30 or 40?

I have remained convinced that he would/will walk and not wait to be sacked. That's why Pearson can afford to back him so much because he knows he wont have to sack him. Not sure he said he would have walked today though - thought he said that if we were getting comprehensively hammered every week by 30/40 points then he would go, which clearly we're not. Was glad he had a minor pop at his critics though. If they can't take it etc....

Radford is only criticised due to his own abysmal coaching record and sub standard performances.
Thought having a pop at the disgruntled fans was unprofessional personally. Yes we've won today but Lee will do well to remember one swallow does not make a summer.
When we see improved and consistent performances then maybe this criticism will subside but until then he'll have to take the rough with the smooth due to the position he finds himself in and criticising those fans will hardly do his popularity any favours.

But as long as your happy he's criticised the fans I'll let you enjoy your small perceived moral victory.
