Matty Smith? Seriously?
Presumably he is coming with a huge wedge of cash to take the useless lump of lard off Wigan's books. Wigan must be pvssing themselves.

Following strong denials from KC the sky lot are still advocating the Smith move,

I suspect we will announce our business over the next few weeks as season tickets are on sale now.

Well IF it did happen it would make the club or KC look the Joker of the Year!

Anyone ever considered Matty looks average this season is because Wayne's once coaching style is utter gash? His kicking game is well above average and he does all the 1% things you need to win games. All the Wigan players have looked average this season and sky can bang on about their injuries as much as they want but the players quite clearly aren't fully behind their one tactic anymore.

A great signing for you. He is a true leader on and off the pitch (probably your next Captain). A great organiser. Rarely gets injured so unlike Walsh he will actually play most of the games. He has won two GF and one Challenge Cup (Lance Todd winner) and turned the test series England's way last year. He is not the Matty you let go all those years ago.

A most underrated player who will not let you down IMO. I hope he does well at Saints because he is one of the game's good guys. Personally I'm gutted that Wigan have let him go but understand that Saints have offered him an unbelievable deal, so fair play.

Cheers mate.

Quite a few Saints fans unhappy with this but I wished we'd kept him all those years ago instead of backing the wrong horse in Eastmond.

Mediocrity personified. An average kicking game which looks good when he kicks early in the set. Doesn't make breaks, doesn't create tries & is too slow to support a break. A poor tackler. He might be a nice guy but so was my Granddad.

He has been signed purely to inject pace into the back line. Or slow it down to allow Owens to keep up with play.

Wigan just announced the signing of Escare from Catalans

Plus another prodigal son, Forythe a young lad who left for the greener grass of Bath RU. It's amazing how players that leave Wigan are soon pining to be back. It must be the quality of the pies. I don't doubt that Charnley and Sargison will return to the fold in another season or two.
