If you are finding writing on a forum tiresome then you might want to consult a doctor. It could be as simple as a poor diet or maybe low testosterone levels. Anyway probably worth getting it checked out pal.

I think the whole "don't need a 7" quote was just Lowes opening his mouth before engaging his brain - a trait that seemed to be prevalent in most of his dealings with the press.

However, given his experience and contacts, I would imagine that someone will be taking possession of the number 7 shirt at Odsal sooner rather than later.

You're going to fit right in.

Too true.

But we spend our time bickering on forums. . . . So we all kind of look silly!!

Well I feared the worst. I thought we’d end up with Bobbie Goulding as player coach and Ferres saying he’d got a us a passionate coach and a scrum half rolled into one.

As it is we seem to have got one of the most highly rated assistant coaches in the NRL. Really we couldn’t do much better. He should really shake things up and will be bringing the latest thinking and methods with him. He’s got heaps of experience for such a young bloke and should be a great mentor for our younger lads coming through. If I was in the U16s or U19s I’d be very much looking forward to learning from him.

Excellent appointment,well done to all, who firstly had the foresight to even look at Smith,but actually land him.
New era just about to start and can't wait to see which half back he signs first.
You can't ask for more than this as we sit in the championship.You can bet SMITH has already tapped up an ozzie/kiwi half back.
Onwards and upwards from here in my opinion.

I may well be wrong, but doesn't this mean Smith's first game will be vs Leigh at Blackpool?

More likely Sheffield away in a fortnight.

Cheers, that's probably for the best if so.

I do hope he has NOT tapped anyone up. That is not allowed.

Many thanks for the advice and the concern. Just seen my GP and he confirms my diet and testosterone levels are fine. He says to consult Frank Whitcombe next time I seek accurate predictions.
The appointment of Smith augurs well for the future. Marc Green has once again surprised us - in a good way. It might be too late to turn around this season but he will have a decent time to assess this squad ( perhaps especially the youngsters) and build for next season.
