I can't even type his name now, such is my loathing for this individual.

Just LOVE OFF, and don't represent the club again.

Just how can a person justify a (presumably) high wage for literally no output..

15 minutes per game, interspersed with a half time break, for someone who was "tearing it up" in the NRL, not 20 short months ago, is nothing short of pathetic.

15 minutes. 15 LOVING MINUTES. This is taking the mick, now. And it's getting quite regular.
I'd rather we pay him his remaining salary, and put him on "gardening leave", so he can no longer be such a divisive figure in the dressing room (if rumours are to be believed), and general disbelief on the terraces.
This lover is making Tony Tatupu seem committed to the cause.

I'd rather us blood a raw 18 year old against Jamie Peacock, and see him get trampled underfoot, rather than that turd. At least the 18 year old will learn from the experience.

It's almost as if Smith knows he's loved up, but he's trying to get his "money's worth" out of him, by actually giving him game time.
Just cut your loses, Tony and Simon, and get him on the next QANTAS flight out of Manchester, (not doing the) business class.

The parallels between Warrington this year and Saints of a couple of years ago are remarkable. Formerly successful, a recruitment policy no one can get their head around, legendary players leaving and the club not even attempting to replace them. Your Asotasi was our Josh Perry. "We need a half back and a prop to compete" the fans cry year after year and then the club panic buys a square peg for the round hole (Gidley, who is very similar to our signing of Hohaia).

I do wonder if TS' apparent obliviousness to not only the shortcomings of certain individuals, but their blatant indifference to the effect, has now meant he has lost the collective dressing room - hence our problems.

Irrespective of loss of face, or admission of having made a total ploppy-plop of a signing, the players and fans would regain huge amounts of respect if TS wielded the axe. I'd rather see Glenn Riley back.

To be fair, Saddened, I never got the hatred for Josh Perry

When I watched you lot with Perry in the side, I saw a robust prop, who took a lot of putting down. Not exactly Ceivonnoceiva (sp) or Webcke, but never that bad.

Tell you what, Saddened, we'll do you a swap. LMS for our No. 15.

I'd rather see Mavis Riley, than what we've currently got.

You stay away from LMS he's having the season of his life (and rapidly becoming a man crush of mine icon_biggrin.gif )

Percy's biggest problem was getting him onto the field, unless the stars aligned and the moon was blue - he was a solid enough prop when he did actually play - the comparison comes by the virtue both were billed as superstars from aus coming over to replace players who were legends in their own right.

Forgive my ignorance but isn't he ooc this year? Surely there's a replacement on the cards?

massive cock up allowing Cooper to leave and signing Asotasi. Cooper is a shoe in for the England Team at the minute. Asotasi is a ing old Flip Flop....

he is quite easily our worst overseas player ever. Players like Teittzel, scott Wilson, Adam Doyle, Paul Marquet etc never made teams of the year, never captained an international side, they were journeymen who played to the best of their abilities sadly that ability was limited.

This lover is something else...the Writing was on the wall when he jibbed turning out for Samoa and left them in the ........if only he had had the deceny to do the same to us.

Always liked LMS

Had just about the correct amount of nasty about him, whilst keeping it legal.
Unlucky for him that Graham and our own Hill are above him in the pecking order, internationally.

Correct, our No 15 is ooc, come the end of the season.

We're replacing him with something that's more use. T!ts on a fish.

I'm inclined to agree with this, and we all know that 'lost the dressing room', or 'taken the team as far as he can' or similar phrases mean that the end should be nigh.

People will obviously jump up and down and say but who could replace Smith, be careful what you wish for, etc, etc, but it's looking like his time at the club has run its course to me - admittedly this is from a distance away, but it's not a great SL this year and Warrington aren't involved at the top end of the table. Very disappointing thus far.

I take it that the club won't be doing what they've done in the last 15 years or so, and give the spectators the chance to show their appreciation to the departing players. Can you imagine the reception No 15 will get. Woooh. CARNAGE.

Oh come on, he has not been that bad. I think we owe him a good send off, like all Wire players. We should have a little whip round in the South and get him a small memento. In fact it's usual to give the leaving player something useful for his next job.

I was thinking perhaps a pair of plastic water bottles ?

No doubting he's the worst signing this clubs ever made but again who the hell sanctioned this signing and on what basis?He must have thought he'd won the lottery when a SL club offered him a contract.As much as I blame Asotasi the management must take some responsibility for this terrible signing.

You've got to Feel for Kevin Penny... He clearly wont get another contract after this year which is a scandal in my opinion.... but those others with contracts up and unlikely to be renewed at the end of the year are

Roy Asotasi
Gary Wheeler,
Richie Myler
Chris Bridge

that's Some Leaving do Penny will be part of..... Mr Perma-injury, Mr Shit, Mr Unpopular, and, well on the whole I've liked Chris Bridge, so he's just Mr Tattooed.

when "The sorry you're leaving " Card and Money envelope goes round the HJ there will be lots of people saying "I haven't got any cash on me, I'll put some in later....!!

I cant get why no one has ever explained why he only plays 15 minutes....hes basically a tea break for Chris Hill. Unless hes carrying an injury??

Wheeler....forget..just do not re-sign
Bridge...he's been good but hes crocked - achilles, hamstrings etc,,,all shot

I suspect the 5 players did not train with agar is true - but because they are injured... player recovery and rehab seems very slow. Smith has been picking 17 from 17 most of the season

More players needed

Genuinely forgot we had Wheeler actually. As for Roy, I sort of want him to sign a new day in a way, just to see the meltdown on here.
