That's a different kettle of fish all together. If Hastings is staying and Smith is going to be limited then a team like Huddersfield would be ideal for a season but loaning him to the championship wouldn't be much use to him I don't think, he is too good for that league already.

For me he’s good enough so why send him out on loan? Huddersfield [ishould[/i improve under Watson, why should and would we boost a potential rival? He’s too good for the Championship and he’s already spent a lot of time on loan at Swinton. I honestly don’t see what the benefits for him, or us would be. He’s a 2021 starter IMO.

For me, it's a straight shootout between him and Field for the HB slot. The other one goes on the bench as cover.

Tommy is apparently going around again and I'm more than happy about that. If Field and Smith want to play then he's the benchmark they've gotta be better than. As crazy as it seems that's not an unreachable level either - if Field can put a marker down with his running and support game and Smith can outshine Tommy as a controling HB then they'll both be seen as viable options.

Can’t really argue with that.

It’s really interesting what Lam’s plans for the back line are, especially if Hastings does stay. Mind you even if he leaves it’s intriguing.

I’m not advocating Smith to go out on loan but just pure speculation on my part of a potential outcome if Hastings & TL sign contract extensions

Personally I’d have Smith in the starting 17 for the SF and hopefully GF but I think Lam will stick with 4 forwards on the bench particularly if SOL or Clubb are in the 17.

Smith even at this stage of his career has a good kicking game and offers the unexpected for example his display at Huddersfield earlier in the season

Boooooo Leneghan and Rads out!

Bloody badge!!!!

That back line next year though is going to be electric......

That badge though!!!

Averages a try assist every game and a try every other game.

His attitude stinks.

Get bent you bloody round baller.

Just for clarity I can almost certainly confirm that was his attempt at sarcasm

Only almost?

And was it as obvious an attempt as Jukesays comment was?

Troll?

It was a light-hearted wind up. Them panties must be chafing you big tart.
