I'll hold my hands up.
After a few games of Patton's anonymity, early season, I was saying we should have gone for Matty Smith, before Cats got him.
I was wrong.
We"d have been better putting a bid in for Mandy Smith

Smith should have stayed in zero bars

Smith is truly awful. We may as well play without any recognised half backs at all.

And we could play till this time tomorrow and we still wouldn't score a try - our "strength in depth" is woeful (whatever we're paying Smith is way too much)

Patton will be the happiest man at the club watching this. Smith's performance should win Dec a new 5-year contract.

This is so frustrating and we should’ve never have been in the position where this game matters as much as it does.

Sod sky and their commentators, bigging this game up and bigging Salford up who are playing against half a side and not doing anything special. So, so desperate to make this joke of a league exciting. And audibly desperate at times to see a Salford try it seemed.

I guess they only care about player welfare and all that state of mind rubbish for one round a year. Rest of the time, let them flog themselves for the Sky dollar and who cares when they last played.

PS I concur that Matty Smith is a bag of juank.

Thankfully Smith WAS ineligible for Wembley!

Unfair to pick on Smith it isn’t his fault that he wasn’t selected to play tonight.

Austin seems the exception, but our recruitment the past 12 months or so has been poo. Do we not employ scouts any more?

Not losing by 24+ was like getting a point out of that as it keeps the top 5 in our hands.

Fucking scandalous how Sky put us on tonight but we can have the weekend off and prepare well for the end to the season.

A new chapter in the season to come now. Onwards and upwards!

Matty Smith should not get near a Wire shirt ever again

Danny Walker was our best player tonight and we signed him in the last 12 months.

Long term Luther Burrell could be a good signing. He’s a good big and fast rugby player with good hands, he’s just adjusting, but was much better defensively tonight.

Jason Clark started the season well but has tailed off, but he was superb at Wembley last week.

I’ve also liked Matt Davis.

That leaves Tasi and Smith.
