R League: Title send off for Smith
Oct 15 2007 Western Mail
GREAT BRITAIN internationals Gareth Ellis and Keith Senior led the tributes to coach Tony Smith after he ended his Leeds career on a high with victory in the Super League grand final.
The 40-year-old delivered the perfect leaving gift by steering the Rhinos to a brilliant 33-6 victory over St Helens, including Welsh international Keiron Cunningham, who were denied what would have been a unique second successive cleansweep of domestic trophies.
Smith goes full-time with Great Britain this week. This was Leeds’ second title in four years since he took over, after previously going 32 years without one.
