If Smith was available for an absolute pittance as back up for the rest of the squad i'd still probably not bother!

He's a skillfull player with ball in hand but unfortunatly 50% of the time you don't have the ball and when it comes down to defending he's possibly the worst player i've seen in a Wigan kit.

I'd rather have Phelps, Lockers, Gleeson and Flanagan as back up for the halfbacks.

How does that relate to Trent Barrett then, for just one example .
I,m not bagging what Tim Smith is capable of but such a general sweeping statement about the defense does not stand up , Sam Tomkins is a much better defender than Tim Smith and so is Rob Burrows no excuses needed.

got it the first time mate haha

Tim Smith behind a good pack and some runners would be a must buy.

Tim Smith behind our pack with players running round like headless chickens then no thanks.

excuses about what, whats the borrower got to do with anything, theres many scrum halfs who cant defend, and im not comparing him to barrett, how can you compare to a standard that high, smith is a great player and people dont want to admit that we will miss him,funny how before smith got injured and our pack started performin, no one questioned his defence

The problem is people are so wrapped up in thinking Sam Tomkins is the next Shaun Edwards that they are too pig ignorent to see other talent... Simple as that.

I'd rather see Cyril Smith at 6.

Seriously people just watch the games. Smith, had a lot of potential after a good season in the NRL, ignore that and and watch how poor he was for Wigan.

Look at how much better we play when he's not in the team.
Look at the results since he's left.

that's because we don't have anybody who can run a decent line...

Come on, how long as it since you sat back and thought 'yeah that was a really decent play we just did??' - The last time I did that was when we beat Saints, and who was our 6 for that game? Smith.

Smith is crap.

Get over it, move on.

Brilliant, cheers for your contribution!
