It’s one thing you don’t get to see much of the goal kicking percentages. That does surprise me but then I’ve not followed it that closely and I’m going off how he kicked for England last year in the World Cup pretty much. I certainly don’t think Smith needs the pressure of the kicking, especially with how the media got after him this season. They couldn’t mention his name without mentioning that he’d missed a few kicks at goal. |

| Quote: NickyKiss "Well deserved. He’s totally committed to playing for England and firstly I admire guys like him and Makinson for always sticking to that. His competitive nature is infectious and he looks to have a belief that he can win any game. I actually see him as a better fit for captain than George Williams but that’s for another day.'"
What's interesting in your quote NK is that all three are Wigan boys. I give you, 'Ancient and Loyal'. |

“Since coming into the England squad last year, I’ve been really impressed with Jack’s performances on the field but his actions and behaviour away from the field have impressed me just as much.
“We have a lot of senior players within the squad who are natural leaders but with the international schedule locked in for the next four years we need to look to the future and Jack is a massive part of that.”
I think the key here is the quote about how Jack conducts himself in private, it is what Wigan has built its season on.

Probably the obvious choice really, particularly when it comes to building for the future. I can't see another candidate who ticks all the boxes in that squad. Maybe Radley? |

It sounds simple but just turning up for squad get togethers and then the games is seriously impressive as a young lad. I’m sure he’ll have had to put his foot down over this past few seasons to ensure that was the case because there will have been some encouragement to use it as a rest period. The lad looks a rugby league obsessive, hugely passionate about representing England and that’s exactly what Wane will want. It feels like it could be a World Cup Final or a friendly against France in mid season and he will be there and his effort levels won’t alter. He is a great example to players across the league, at all clubs, that you’ll get rewarded for commitment.

Probably between those 2 and then maybe Bateman? There aren’t too many jumping out at us. We really need a few of the younger squad members to kick on now, build their reputations in this series and start to take over from the old guard. |
