You didn't. And yes, you have got involved. Although doing a better job of it.

G1Something that was still happening last season. Something that was so prevalent that the club came within a whisker of shipping him to Wigan.
I'll need to see a lot more from him with for a much lengthier period of time before I am convinced its' time to knight him like some of the revisionists.

I have no idea too on the number of MOM awards. But I just wanted to see how it would stack up, based on how many Smith has had recently.
Of course that can not say with certainty that had Webb been there instead that he wouldn't have got MOM. Nor can it prove that Smith is any better than Webb in there.
There would however be some crededence in throwing out the silly statement that Webb is vastly superior to Smith.'"
There's no comparison,how many times have the M.O.M awards been agreed on by fans and pundits alike?????
FWIW Smithy has been great for us imo after returning to the team when he was on the verge of moving on.
But............Webb is a class above imo both in quality and deed in the FB position,he offers more attacking threat and directs the back line alot better than smithy.
I really hope we keep smithy and he continues to show his potential but webb is the no1 FB and unless he doesn't(god forbid) fully recover from his injury smithy won't threaten that status.

You still cant show the good grace that T Smith and Bluey have done, and admit to mistakes.
Incidentally how many games again as Tansey played in the NRL?

Not having a go but is Tansey really going to be playing week in week out?

| Smith is a great player, and is playing exceptionally well. Its a credit to him that he has taken this opportunity.
Webb was a world class player before his injury and will hopefully continue to be when he gets back. When he does come back Bluey will have a hard decision to put him if Smith continues in this form.
I think that although he has performed well on the wing in the past, he is a nutuarl fullback and when given a bit of space is dangerous with the ball. Its his foot speed that does this rather than his pace. This is why I think the management could see him as a centre. Get him more involved, rather than just getting him to finish.
I remember in 2006 before his loss of confidence, watching a few games, and noticing that when recieving the ball from a kick, he nearly always broke the first tackle, or at the least was able to half break and get quick plays. I think that we need to utilise his footwork more, and I don;t think the answer to that is on the wing.
I may even be tempted to play Webb in the centres or off the bench to start with if Smith continues on this form

I apologise, I thought you seemed to be under recognising his contribution.

Contrary to what Gareth thinks, that has actually been talked about by the players at HQ. Whether it happens, well thats a different thing.

Have you confused me with some else?
