Tony Smith has signed a two and a half year contract to be the Head of Coaching at Warrington, starting immediately and before they play the losing World Club Challenge side, Leeds.
Things had to change at Warrington. They have lost all of their opening matches including two massive defeats to Catalan and Wakefield. Their only consolation is the good seventy minute performance against St Helens, where they seemed to filter out and allow Saints back into the game at a stage when they were dominating the game and were on the road to a good start to the season.
But after two demoralising defeats and a losing run that stretches into August of last year, they currently lie last in the table along with Celtic who have yet to win a game.
James Lowes will remain as First Team Coach, essentially Smith's assistant, while Smith has to conduct further duties tied in with his previous contract at the RFL during the remainder of the season.
As for Warrington's future, they have to get their season off to a winning start. A win against Leeds, (ironically the team they last beat at home) who maybe tired and demoralised after Sunday's disappointing World Club Challenge defeat, would be a great way to kick start the new season.
