Smith and Hadley feud escalates
The mainstream media has picked up on the rivalry between Parramatta coach Brian Smith and broadcaster Ray Hadley.
Over the weekend, Hadley claimed that he knew for a fact that Jamie Lyon left Parramatta because he didn't want to be coached by Brian Smith.
However, Smith fought back yesterday on the 2KY Big Breakfast show saying Hadley had little knowledge of football and "runs a bit of a vaudeville-type show".
To which Hadley responded in yesterday's Telegraph: "Brian is right about vaudeville. A clown is required and I'll leave it up to Parramatta fans to determine who the clown is."
The article was penned by Dean Ritchie, a member of Hadley's Continuous Call team.
