Just watched it.

Very interesting and a fascinating insight into how he works and how much relationships with players and staff are what drives him on.

Makes it all the more surprising that he appears to have had a fall out with Maguire?

Fall out with Lakin, McGuire's boss, you mean? Remember that McGuire gushed that any club would be lucky to have Smith and how much he owed him on and off the field in the days after his leaving Rovers. The pivot of narrative to sour taste/never liked him anyway now he's headed West is as contrived as it is predictable.

He’s certainly talking and behaving like a true red and white.
Must have been that way out anyway.

He’ll be okay. Just don’t go out drinking with his new head coach.

Be interesting to see who the Assistants are. Sounds like he likes to employ people who he knows and trusts.

Heard Thorman, Gene and even Cooke mentioned.

Think Thorman is heading to Newcastle according to Matt Shaw.

No way will Cooke come back. Radders wanted him as assistant but he didn't think it would be a good idea.

Think it could be Gene tbh.

Danny Orr is still without a club for next season, but Smith hasn't worked with him as far as I know

No I’m talking about the things McGuire said, allegedly, at their end of season awards.

I quote from Hull live.

“At the end of season awards night on Wednesday, when speaking to the audience, McGuire admitted he "Didn't have as much influence on the team in 2022 as he wanted to have, and I wasn't getting along with one person", which was, of course, aimed at former Hull KR boss Tony Smith after rumours had been circulated regarding the sour relationship between the pair weeks before Smith departed from Craven Park.”

Don’t you just hate those predictable contrivances?

Does Smith have previous for falling out with club owners/CEOs? Or is it just Lakin?

Rovers fans keep saying he'll have a bust up with Pearson, but he seemed to get on OK with Moran and Hetherington

Pearson can show his emotions, but he backs his coaches. Sometimes too loyal.

I think he’ll be happy for TS to get a grip of the rugby side of the club.
