I doubt most fans of any club give a flying one about things that almost happened but didn't.

Why would he consider going part time when he could of quite easily moved up into super league. I think somebody is kidding you

Probably because that distance is so vast that it is impossible to be measured

Someone has been in the sun too long!

Probably about as close as me getting married Ellie Goulding then winning lottery on the Wednesday then again on the Saturday followed by the Euro millions on the Tuesday.

I'd imagine it was a little closer than that.

However, neither happened (although I hope your one does, soon), so the point is pretty moot, really.

Indeed.
Though, if he'd said he nearly signed for an SL club it would have been believable, but that he might have dropped down to part time is just too daft for words.

Why? Rugby league is a short career and the offer of a full time job outside of rugby will see many part time players earning a lot more money than full time players especially at this level. Strangely an offer of a full time SL deal with no guarantee and at a team expected to finish in the bottom 4 also had little appeal.

He's already got a full-time job playing RL. He's happy doing it, and, if his circumstances were to change, part-time jobs will still be available for the foreseeable future. It's illogical that a player, still approaching his peak, would step backwards from, however it is dressed up, a decently paid job with a great lifestyle attached - especially when any alternatives remain ready and waiting for some indeterminate time in the future.

Someone at the club told me the RFL are paying Smith's wages. #RFL's pets.

Maybe he was just unhappy with how things were at that point, ive no idea. Ive also no history of posting untrue rumours on these message boards.

Interesting that he knows Cameo www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... ing_squad/ Will be interesting to see if he can get him up and er running for at least 40 mins per game

Make sure you don't hit anything behind you give the speed you're back-peddling

??? Not back peddling at all, im not sure why you would think that.

Smith will be at Odsal on Sunday. Hopefully he'll be in charge for Sheffield game Friday then

I'm thinking it because you were back peddling. Hence why I made the reference to said reverse peddle locomotion.

This is getting complicated. Has anyone got a circle of paper and some crayons so we can write it down?

I'm unsure about this back peddling. Where do they get the backs from, for a start. And why do they have to peddle them? Why can't there just be, like, an online shop or something? And is it the whole back, complete with vertebrae, discs, musculature etc., or just parts?

Or maybe they meant to say "back-pedalling"

Not sure if I've seen the question asked or answered anywhere yet.

Has there been another club that has been coached by both father and son?
