I heard at one point that Lee Briers would be a better option...when did he sign!???

HaHa.....yeah I heard that too. Calling for Smith to be taken off because he was "crap" but couldn't say who to bring on better than him, except to say Lee Briers was a good player....!!!!!!

It was ok though, Kyle Wood came on and was going to make it happen. Some people need to stick to the facts, if we didn't have Smith in the team we would have scored 18 less Trys and would be routed at the bottom.

The match strategy for this game and against the clubs that challenge for the top four should always be ball retention. Simple as that, no stupid hospital balls, take the tackle and carry on with the next play. Always make sure the ball is looked after, keep the pressure on with kicks into touch breaking up the play. Thats the only way to stay in the game and not be beat by 40 against teams that are far surerior in skills levels. The expansive rugby should be saved for select matches where we can afford to spill it and not be punished. We don't play the ball fast enough or have the passing speed to mix it up with the big boys, the game should have been played on our terms. Instead it was a training session for Wigan.

Smith was far from the worst we had on the field.Kirmond normally one of our better players didnt have a good game at all.Wilkes looked like he had gone back to his days of knock on charlie.Didnt go to the millenium weekend and watched on sky and watching the dressing room at half time and Agar he didnt appear to be able to fireup a well lit BBQ.

t smith dont deserve to be the scapegoat he is without doubt one of our better players.some people just expect him to create trys everytime he gets the ball but with our set of small forwarsds that not going to happen.we all knew we had too small set of forwrds even that muppet who picks the team a player like smith needs his forwards to lead as all good half backs do.had it not been for smith we would of lost more than we than we have
