he mustnt be ready if tony isnt picking him , and he knows better than us lot ISWT

That is exactly the point. He has reached the peak of the previous level and deserves a step up.

He's obviously not ready yet or Smith would be playing him regulary in Super League. Like I said, from the U20s to Super League is a big step up, and Smith will know this. When Smith thinks he's ready then that's good enough for me. Like WalterWizard said, he's training with the first team anyway, so Smith will be able to see him day in day out.

I have said I am not questioning TS. I was saying that I would love to know the reason. There must be a reason, other than a feeling or a premonition. TS is a great coach and certainly knows his stuff. So I'd love to know his reasoning.

LTS, next time you're in TS's garden stalking him ask for the reason he isn't playing GO'b
