I like Smith and think he's capable of doing a Solid job but unfortunately tonight just wasn't his night. Probably the worst I've seen him play for us. I think now he's effectively on his own so to speak he's struggling,

with powell at hooker and lockers trying to fill in at 6 we don't have any one else to create anything and if that one person isn't firing then you get what happened tonight.

I really think not getting someone in to replace micky mac could hurt us. Powell is doing a good job but if we can get someone in at hooker and have powell sharing the responsibility with smith it would give us another option, and then when Williams returns we've got another player capable of of sharing the hooker/halves role.

Crap as usual, rubbish kicking and pathetic defense...

Again great to see the anti Smith gang out in force again this years scapegoat when anything goes wrong ....... Who's next then to have a bad game n get slated .....

I thought all of the team played well today manfredi of course the stand out player but I did not see anyone have as some suggest a terrible game ... But hey hoe each to there own deluded opinion I believe

Ziggy have you ever played the game and stopped a forward a lot bigger than you running at speed ????? Perhaps not time to smell the coffee and wake up like others on here the SL standard has gone poor and in his defence he is the only pivotal player playing in there correct position. Look at Salford Lui is out and they have now lost 2 from 2 since his injury not many teams can lose full back / loose forward not playing in his own position but stand off / first choice hooker injured and no natural loose forward and still win games...

Say you break the components of a half-backs game down: short kicking game, long kicking game, running game, passing game, defence. It's only the long kicking game with Smith that ever looks good, and some of the other sectors are almost completely missing. As was the case yesterday.

There seems to be a real link with Smith between his goal kicking and his general form. He had a poor night with the boot last week and his overall performance was very poor. He again started badly with the boot yesterday and it took him a while to recover his performance that ended up being ok.

I love his passion but you do wonder if he's going to get his form of 2013 back. I'd be more confident if we could pull a goal kicker from somewhere to ease the pressure on him.

Thought he came back from his nightmare game last week pretty well. (So it should against his hometown team). More of that please!
