Quote: Juan Cornetto "I would keep the team unchanged.
On the Smith discusion. Unless Smithy gets back some speed he has no chance at FB or on the wing. However, and I know some are going to laugh at this, but I think he could make a No 9.
Consider back when he was playing well at FB he would often go to acting half and distributed well and ran from dummy half. He can kick, is tough and and has a football brain and an eye for the opportunist try. A fit Smith is a useful utility player and if we go into next season with just McShane & Hood for hooker.... why not!'"
I like it: bold and imaginative
I too did suggest Smith's future might be more in the middle of the field if not FB. I just got the position/jersey number slightly wrong.
