Yeah. Large emphasis on hard work and team. I liked his line about having pride in defending the line effectively making theoppositon earn the right to cross it.

PS

We have set a date. Civil partnerships rock! Do I win?

I particularly liked, "There was a lot of courage in MY TEAM today".

I started off quite liking Jimmy Lowes, and then each and every week, even when we were winning, I felt more and more uncomfortable.

Despite his exceptional record I wasn't 100% convinced when Tony Smiths appointment was announced, but I feel better about it each and every time I hear him speak.

i'm going to stand at the back and shout out when the question is asked if anyone has a reason why the happy couple should not wed.
i love him loads,at the minute he's slightly in front of my wife but still behind my son

I was watching him on the pitch on sunday and i thought he just looks so authorative!

You cant help but like him, he just demands respect.

Have you told her that?

I can see this being produced as evidence in the divorce proceedings!

Excellent news about Carvell being able to train with the full team in a week or so...

Would he get back into the team?

Indeed very good news although Reardon is still a couple of weeks away from being involved in full training



.

I would certainly like him as an impact player off the bench if nothing else..

I think so, id prefer to have him starting and Rauhihi coming of the bench, Cooper will probably be sacrificed from Sundays team, in order to make way for him.

i read coopers profile for the 1st time yesterday, didn't realise he nearly died.

Good luck to him in his career

Is he only allowed to train with half of them at the moment?

I kneel before you, oh King Of Comedy!

Spot on about Harrison, tough worker throughout the match. I was impressed by TS emphasis on TEAM though.

Good to hear Carvell and Stu getting back to full fitness in the next few weeks, with the addition of Westwood returning from his suspension soon as well it's starting to look good.

Are you referring to Cooper making way to Carvell this Sunday?

Really even though he's a week or so away still:

No, i mean Cooper will be sacrificed from last Sunday's team to make way for Carvell whenever he is available.

And then who'll make way for Benny's return the week after??????

On performance - V Anderson (although Sunday was probably his best so far this season)

I've just heard the interview and was very impressed with how Tony Smith handled himself and the questions.
It's funny looking at him in the conference because he comes over as not particularly bothered, laid back and simply totally relaxed.
Impressive.

I heart Tony Smith



*Edit* Whoops - Rugbychick

What a calm man! From that interview you could sense that he is a winner and is quietly going about installing that into the players. He still had that aura about him that you knew he was the boss and you would not like to cross him. Great leader...
The future is bright!!

Forced by his own actions, is how I read it.
