Smith and Lowes speak with Sonny Bill Williams : Thu Apr 16, 2009 11:27 am  

Smith and Lowes both failed to turn up at the HJ last night at Warrington's youth development, attended by many kids who were thrilled to be meeting Tony Smith for the first time, Andrew Farrell's father who is a kid scout at Warrington stood in at the last moment.

It was a major dissappointment for those kids but on the other hand it was said that both Smith and Lowes had flew out to France that day to speak with Sonny Bill Williams about a move to Warrington for the 2010 season. There is also speculation that he may even be here by next month.

Every speculation is rumor until its a done deal.
Smith and Lowes were to attended the youth development meeting last night and they didn't show, Andrew Farrell's stood in. That is fact.

He wasn't mate. The issue of the guardian would have been printed too late to alter that.
But that statement does tell you that he was supposed to have been the the headliner at the meeting.
Farrell's dad took that roll...Why not Lowes? He is in France with Smith!

No it isn't Jimmy Lowes was throwing a frisbee in Bank Park, I saw him as myself and Tony Smith made our way to my house so Smith could check out my ingrowing toe nail.

No it absolutely isn't fact at all.

Lats night was the launch at the HJ of this years service area, the squads have been selected and there where a few speakers before the lads and parents had to fill in forms and have their squad photos taken.

Tony Smith was meant to be attending together with John Bastian but neither of them made it. Bastian was at Red Hall with an academy player and Tony Smith had been unable to make it.

There was a little funny cracked about TS being in talks with Darren Lockeyer but thats all it was a Joke.

Alan Kilshaw Service Area CoOrdinator opened the evening followed by Ben Lazenby and then Brian Chambers.

Peter Farrell was not even in attendance
