Reminds me of Sean Long and Mr Hansen

Was he? I am fairly certain he wasnt and he certainly never signed a formal contract as such. He was certainly a long way down the pecking order of the players that signed from that St Pats team such as Goulding, Sean Gleeson, Thomas Coyle, Roper etc and wasnt one of the ones that were saught after.

Keith Holden jr was released by Warrington and has been playing for Widnes u20s.

According to the jungle drums it’s yes to Smith, SW thinks he can make improvements with him. But Gaskell
"no way Josè".....Don't ask me, but it seems a step backwards anyway you mix it.

Rock 'n' Roll.

I recollect Matty Smith playing a very good final in 2010, on that basis I'll welcome him in. It's nice for a player whos been loyal and kept his head down to be given a chance. Being in the shadow of over rated Kyle Eastmond would have cracked a few egos but Matty just got on with his job and made the best of what he has. Since we're unlikely to sign Jonathon Thurston or Benji Marshal we can still win competitions with the likes of hard working Matty Smiths.
I also think Tommy Lulu has set a new standard in half backs, how many big tackles have we seen from him in the last 5 or so years? Matty fits that profile. Let the speed come from Sam and wigan will have a well balanced side.
