I hope he impresses for our sakes, I'm not overly concerned about him or his confidence after these, hopefully, 3 games, he's signed for Salford.
If Lomax was fully fit, he wouldn't be here.

That's a given.

Fair enough. I tend to be interested in how our young players are going even when they leave the club (although he wouldn't have signed for Salford had Saints shown an interest).
Quote: Billinge_Lump "If Lomax was fully fit, he wouldn't be here.'"
True.
If Pryce was fully fit, Lomax wouldn't be 'here' either.

| Matty will be in to play.
Been speaking to him tonight and he's very much up for the challenge. Everyone at Salford is right behind him. A determined Matty Smith is a very good player. That's how he played against Saints at The Willows and look at the game he had then.
Nice fella who deserves respect.... and I seriously hope he does the job for you.
Good Luck Saints.

I take an interest and hope they do well, I'm not overly concerned about their confidence either way.

Lomax would be in or around the 17 if Pryce was fit, he just wouldn't be at 6.

| One thing is for sure, given our injury situation Smith in the side is a far better option that him not being in the side.
Potter should be applauded for his quick thinking in seeing the opportunity. I'll not hold my breath, though.
Although I don't buy in to the "we should never have let him go" argument, as he was never going to be happy with a bit part, I hope he is able to leave having played a significant part in a championship winning season.

| I'm sure Mcrae (and everyone at Salford, really) was delighted to hear that we wanted him back for the play-offs, it's great to have a player in such high-pressure situations.

That's right... Salford haven't been in that position... Salary cap restrictions and keeping legally within our boundaries have stopped us doing that. Hopefully things are about to change... we are building a team that should make the play-offs now... I'm not expecting to make a huge impact in them... and we won't come close to Saints... but you know what... despite being a million miles from Saints... we still manage to beat you 2 years running, and that's a pretty good feeling when you look at the standard of player Saints have compared to Salford.
I have a soft spot for Saints... you are the entertainers of Rugby League and great to watch on most occasions. You don't know how lucky you are.
Now stop the silly comments about Salford... get behind Matty Smith... Get behind your team... and slay those 'too big for their boots' goons from up the road. They need putting in their place.

He'd be fighting with Foster over the wing spot is all.

Oh, we do. And we will even more if we somehow manage to scrape together a win tonight!
Quote: LoyalFan "get behind Matty Smith...'"
If he plays, I hope we give him a big cheer.

Would love to but I just think being without our experienced (with Saints team) halfbacks and possibly now illness to Roby (if a rumour is true) then we just won't have it in us to pull off a win.

He certainly has, think he wants to prove he should have been given a contract?

| Is there only me that thinks Saints have made a massive mistake in letting Smithy go, I love his style of play and I think he is very intelligent on the ball, he can control and make things happen and I'm sorry to see him leave
Hopefully we will get him back at some point

| He had a good game but isn't anywhere near as good as Eastmond and at this stage of his career Matty Smith needs to be playing. Played very well though.
