| Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"But he won the Challenge Cup with Warrington, who were the worst team in the league at the point he took over, and who don't exactly have a long standing pedigree in winning trophies....hence the understandable misconception that he was a coaching guru.
This was perhaps an easier task than winning a few Challenge Cups with the mighty St Helens, as Daniel Anderson did, who promptly won BBC awards and gets hailed by the Saints fans as a 'coaching guru'. It's interesting to look at Anderson's record in international rugby league as coach of New Zealand...which saw him take the Kiwis comfortably down to 3rd place in the pecking order hence him being replaced, whilst his successors promptly delivered the Tri Nations (McLennan) and the World Cup (Kearney).
Even Brian Noble dominated Anderson in the international arena
'"
Not sure where the Daniel Anderson angle came in at all. He's never been the England coach and he went 3 years unbeaten in the Challenge Cup. If Smith achieves that fair play to him.

| Tony Smith must be coining it in with these two jobs. I mean i reckon Warrington are paying top dollar for his services and the international job must pay fairly well too.
As an added extra i reckon his bonus for the challenge cup win would bring tears to the eyes of all willis st residents.

| back to the topic then...well sort of.
If tony is relieved of his english duties (which seems likely if we get thumped by the kiwis) who will replace him?

| Quote The Angry Pirate="The Angry Pirate"You could have Wayne Bennett coaching that England side and it'd be no different....
The England coaching job is for mugs....Trying to live upto the unrealistic expectations of Eddie, Stevo and countless numbnuts on sites like this...
As the saying goes....'You can't polish a turd.....'....
'"
Well if the England job is for mugs - then Tony Smith is the ideal person
He was a player of no talent - inherited a Rhinos team ready to achieve & then got a call to coach GB / England  Won a challenge cup was great for us BUT lets see what he does with "his" team ?
International achievements ? Well 2007 was good cos he picked the right team, 2008 - enough said, 2009 .... well lets wait & see.
It was great to see him singing our national anthem with such passion

after seeing what he could achieve with the crock of garbage left to him by Jimmy Lowes I can't wait to see what he does with "his" team
at the very least I wouldn't be betting against the answer being "considerably better than anything Warrington have done in Super League before"
