Hey welcome back Tony......clearly DH made him an offer he could not refuse. Lets hope DH has left enough funding for him to provide/maintain a competitive team.



Rumour has it he has spotted a nice little 2 up, 2 down 1800`s terraced house a few yards from Priestfield stadium....and that was the clincher

Wouldn't have taken much of an offer to be able to afford one of those.

Well that's nice. Tony's obviously had a very positive impact on the team since he arrived. Well - he's getting them to play the standard that they clearly always should have been capable of.



Now if we could just match this with some positive off-field news...

IBTM

If the club moves to the Gillingham area he and the players would probably live in Hempsted and Wigmore.

Ian Ramsdale has just twittered Guildford (along with others) being considered!



I'm beginning to think this is a very late April fool joke





Might suit Paddock and Wire though.

Kinda guessed that he was telling the truth about still being on a plane back to Oz on Oct 8th when Wiggy Questioned him on Friday, meant he could have a good internal s.



Interesting choice, he would appear to be better equipped since his move away, and given he went from playing to CEO/Coach?CEO/Coach all within the club, the time away with different perspectives could prove to be very useful to us and him.



Also he knows the club and it's history and will ensure new players get more immersed in the club and it's unique requirements, how he stacks up now on youth development and integration will be interesting as it never appeared to be high on his agenda back then, but a lot has changed around the club since then as well.



He would know the plans for any moves and also DH's long term plans for the club, no point in screwing up his career to come back if things did not add up for him.



Now then, which state in Oz will we not be recruiting from





Teflon Tony's barmy army.



ps well done all there on Friday for the TR Barmy Army chant, Tony Smith was well peed off with it when interviewed.

Yeah, that was funny when Smiffy said about the Barmy Army chant.



You have to wonder whether Teffers is a sado-masochist? He escaped once (thanks to IL) and now he's back of his own volition...the man is glutton for punishment!





Welcome back Tony...it's good to have you back.

Good observations from Homer (particularly regarding the yoof) - I wasn't sure whether a permanent move would be good for him and/or the club but the positive impact he has brought cant be ignored.



I am just worried that this good news will be offset by some terrible news regarding the next ground. They could have signed Wayne Bennett and the Australian squad for 2013 and I wouldn't go to Gillingham!

Yes, I wondered about the good news/bad news scenario.



Maybe the powers that be think we fans deserve a long holiday from the Broncos? We have done our fair share of suffering for these last 7 years!





Mind you, could just be Paddocks shorts they want rid of.

The Barry Underwood connection?

And if they had waited 24 hours Brian McLennon was available as well.
