Smyth running down the wing

GDMM: you've got Fozzard all wrong. He wanted to stay but when told Saints were interested he was advised to ask for double the best offer he had from elsewhere. Saints agreed providing it was for an extra year than what he had asked for.

He left with the club's best wishes and thanks and a tear in his eye.

Career progression. What trophies was Fozzard going to win at Warrington? He went to Saints and cleaned up.

He was a top player for us for the 2 years of his contract and committed to the shirt, he didn't owe us anything more than that. If I remember rightly he was on a contract that could be terminated instantly if his dodgy arm went again, I doubt we would have cared about loyalty if that had happened, he'd have been straight out the door.

If he had signed for Widnes for a big deal at the end of 2003 I would have felt a bit hurt but who can begrudge him going to Saints.....is he any more of a judas than Richie Myler who Salford gave a chance in SL and has now jumped ship as soon as he's smelt the first chance of joining a trophy winning squad?

As I said, I don't begrudge anybody securing their future, probably none moreso than Fozzard with his run of injuries. It was my misguided view that he had done a deal with Saints, long before he spoke to Warrington about his future.

As for the terminatin clause, I would be quite scathing if they hadn't put it in, with his history, but I actually don't think we would have enforced it, had he suffered the injury, such was his performances.

The famous three-eyed fish poster was that year wasn't it?
