yes he did he said we don't need can smith as was have roby and moor. I see that you have to hookers. but if cam smith was available to saints I find it unrealistic you would turn him down! you don't need a hooker I understand that but ever team needs a cam smith! I suggest if smith was available to saints roby or moor would be playing in a new position or club.

That sort of decision making could come straight out of the Mo Lindsay guide to player recruitment!! It would be farcical to buy a player simply because he was available, particularly when the squad has major holes in other areas, such as centre and prop. Regardless of how good Smith is, a club has to look at the wider picture, our need for a hooker is way down the list of priorities.

So who do you think that Lindsay bought that Wigan didn't need when they did need strengthening in other positions?

Not really, Millward wanted Higham and Newton was on his way to Bradford, which only left Wayne Godwin at hooker. McIlorum would then only have been 17 years of age.

You are getting it are you. No, he never said Cam Smith wasnt better. You might think he did, but he never. Its just that we have more pressing areas to strengthen. Do you understand yet?

| Didn't Wigan's coach come from the Storm Club? (New they would be involved somewhere along the line.)

| Apparently Tolman and Lima have already left Melbourne for other clubs in the NRL.
They are $700,000 over the cap though so a few more will have to go.

| I was just saying the other day that if we could have any NRL prop I would choose Adam Blair. Plus we have a reputation for picking the bones of unfortunate clubs. Anyone remember Goldspink, Atchesion and Davidson from Oldham.
Smith, Slater and Inglis are all none starters.

Blair isn't a prop. Other than that he would be great signing for anyone.

He is a world cup winning prop

He would probably be a second rower at Bradford but would definately be a Prop for us.
He is a great runner of the ball with a great pair of hands.
