Could (arguably) have been done over the phone. I have a genuine distrust of agents (admittedlyoatly caused by the antics of their football counterparts) but if they are flying over, they may well be asked to taut their players services all over SL??
Not wishing to poor cold water over what would be great news BTW!!

I've no problem with agents, as long as they do they job in an honest way.
Smith and Aiton need contracts to pay the bills. These guys do that for them. Its only like an individual union looking afetr your interests.
Its when they become publicity agents as well and work harder for themselves than they do for they 'customer'.

Hope they both sign long contracts.

Yes yes

Let me get this right, this is the SAME Tim Smith who was boooooooed off a few weeks ago?
Fickle or what!!

The people commenting here are not perhaps the ones who booed TS off at Warrington. Arguably there was a suggestion that it was the late introduction of Kyle Wood that received the booing.
I was stood behind TS when he ignored Morro when he ran on the field, i too would have substituted him for that, i didn't boo him mind, but i would have dropped him for his bad attitude the following week.
What a difference three weeks make eh?
I think we're ALL a bit fickle really though.

Where has this news on their agents flying in come from.Aiton is well worth a 2 year extention hes one of those players who will always give 100%. The way Smith is playing with Sykes as half back partner hes worth giving another 2 year to.While at it we need to sort contracts out for Mathers and Sykes.
Wasnt at the wire game one of those I couldnt make but since Smith has got an half back partner who can play the game and has experiance he only has to worry about his game and that has shown what he can do.

The way some of you lot are talking I thought his must have been a one year contract, just looked and it was a two year deal he signed so he's already down to be with us next season anyway.
