Quote: Phuzzy "Surely Knowles is in there NK? He's the best player in Superleague and infinitely better than the 'Poundland' yard dog Smithies.
Not had his best season - brilliant first half of the year, solid second. I'm sure he'll stand up in the play-offs and we'll see the best of him.
I'd still struggle to pick Smithies ahead of him - Knowles is better with the ball for now (as stats for try involvements, busts, breaks show) and I think he leads our defensive line in a way that Smithies doesn't for Wigan (acknowledging we are different sides in that respect) and hts harder.
Smithies has had a very good year though and I think there is still a ot more to come from him. He could end up surpassing Knowles but I don't think he's there just yet.
