He needs to move Sam Powell on to a lower level club, the guy is pants

I thought Clubb was completely anonymous for you guys. Also Tomkins didn't do much. Bateman was quiet also

Can't say I disagree but Wane seems to like him so it's put up or shut up.

Please note this thread is about Matty Smith though.

Maybe start another thread on that if you think it's worthy of discussion but this is about Matty Smith and that's how it shall stay.

I posted on here before the Hull game, drop him as a kick up the bum. Maybe if we had his form might have returned , but its not.
Hate to single him out from today , but its a season long thing. If we want to improve and progress , number 7 is a position that needs strengthening. Maybe keep Smith and transform him into a bench hooker/6 or 7 back up

Liam Farrell, George Williams and Matty Bowen were your standouts tonight. Everyone else were either decent or disappointing.

I've been annoying the hell out of the person I go to home games with about Matty Smith.

Constantly pointing out that he offers nothing to the team is irritating, apparently.

Sadly nothing has changed and I doubt he loses his shirt next season.

I noticed him twice - once for his knock-on which gave Leeds a comeback straight after we'd scored, and later in the 2nd half when he fumbled a pass in his own half, giving Leeds the ball back.

Forwards can be anonymous as drives and tackles can go un-noticed, but when one of your playmakers goes AWOL, it shows up.

Smith was by far the worst half back on the field tonight, compared him with Williams especially who was superb. Smith, the more experience should be in his pomp guiding you round the field leading from the front, crafting, probing, he , not for the first time in a big game for Wigan offered sod all. Wigan were a touch unlucky but all in all I think the future is pretty bright for you, especially if your coach acts on the AWOL 7 role.

For me it's more about what he didn't do than what he did do.

We made more than enough chances to win that game. But close in we look alarmingly incapable of opening even half-assed defences, so what chance a well-marshalled defence like last night? And ultimately the key to that is supposed to lie with your half-backs.

Exactly the same thing happened at St. Helens. We kept getting to their line but that was always the end of it.

He seems a smashing lad, Matty, but I just don't think he's got enough ideas. We can't go on failing to execute like this. Not after it's cost us a Grand Final. I don't know what the options are, but surely we are now considering some?

How long as Smith left on is contract, never like him lost us games when kicking for goal all we are short of is a decent half back to pare up with Williams ( Hampshire ) and a decent kicker.
