Well done Matty smith had a great game.I

Thought his performance was superb last night attacked the wire line brilliantly throughout if he can do it in a saints shirt he can do it in a salford one.

"my future lies with salford" after that performance probably best bit of marketing of the season for me

So long as you have a much improved pack. Halfbacks can only do their best when they have a hardworking pack in front of them. Saints' pack worked their collective bollox off last night.

I said on here when you first got him that he was a good player. I don't think you've seen the best of him this season because the players around him haven't been good enough on the whole, or not had a good enough attitude, whichever. However, with some hardworking beef up front and some backs who read play then you should see similar performances from him yourselves next season.

Your right on both points.

I was pleased with Matty last night he had a great game, that said he was always going to be MOTM as baldy and wiggy never stopped waxing lyrical about him from the off, a bit like the Briers for Britain campaign.

smiths kicking for us this year was great,he did a few 40-20 and setting up trys with his kicking! his passing was a bit dissapointing this year though as it was to no one all low on the floor but with the new strong squad we got for next year we will hope to see him play like he did last night!his interview was great to hear!

But they were right to. You don't watch Saints every week, obviously, but I can tell you that the impact he had on our team was palpable. We haven't looked that organised and that dominant at any time during the season. His kicking game and his organisational ability plus his level headed approach was spot on for us and was what we have been lacking all season. I have been one of the Saints fans consistently against letting Matty go and last night I felt somewhat vindicated. No, he's not a flashy Eastmond type but that's just a type. He is solid and professional and committed, with great skill in his boot, potential in his hands and a good rugby brain. With bigger forwards and brighter backs, he will go very well for you and I wish we'd kept hold of him as he would complement the likes of Eastmond.
