England victim of "dirty tricks"
By staff writers
November 14, 2008 A SOURCE from inside the England camp claims a report linking national coach Tony Smith with the coaching job at Parramatta is merely a ploy to upset their World Cup campaign.
The England side say they are victims of "dirty tricks" as they build up to a semi-final clash with New Zealand.
A report in the Daily Telegraph suggested Smith has emerged as a shock candidate for the vacancy at the Eels.
However, a source from inside the England camp told PA Sport: "This smacks of disruption."
It is reported Smith has expressed no interest in the position, nor has he been contacted by the Eels.
The Telegraph's report said Smith is prepared to step down from the role he took just 12 months ago as Great Britain's head coach. He has another 12 months to run on his contract with England.
He has previously worked with the club, under older brother Brian, before signed to coach Huddersfield in 2000.
As if anyone needs to! :lol:
