| hard to say really, he wasn't here long enough to really evaluate. But he didn't have the best of starts, blew hot and col.
but thanks for the effort and good luck in the future.
Surely he'll stay long enough, so see if we get to wembley?

| He was crap.
He played like a pansy, and tackled like a 3 year old girl.
Good riddance.

| Quote: wiganermike "As far as recruitment policy goes I think we will have seen the last of the short term stop gap signings. At the time when we signed the likes of Smith on short deals we had little room under the cap due to expensive signings from the old regime. We had to pick up cheap players to use what money we had to fill out the squad until these big contracts were up and we had more freedom.'"
With Barratt's, Higham and Calders wages free for 2009 I don't see why we needed a cheap player at all.
Rather IMO he was available and the club took a risk. Recruiting a player for a season and a bit which is all this ever was never struck me as a bright idea especially in the half backs whatever the reason.
Quote: wiganermike " Some have gone already and more will go this year and next so we can get the players we want and need rather than stop gap signings. Signing up of key players on long term deals has started under IL and this shows his intentions.'"
Not many (thought to be on high-wages) players leaving again this season though Hock's demise will free up more money than was previously available but that is hardly a good thing given he was our best player.
Recruitment needs to address the needs of the team which IMO it has not recently. We have brought in outside backs when a prop and a true replacement half back was needed.

| Great passer of a ball but looked genuinely terrified of tackling.
You won't miss him.

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

IMO it was his lack of pace that made him easily exposed defensively.

Possibly, but there are much slower players about who don't look so abject in that dept.

Agreed.
There was a genuine fear for tackling from Smith showed by the fact he pawed high at people time and again instead of getting people around the legs.
Sam Tomkins is smaller then Smith yet he is a superb tackler because he has no fear and a great technique.

| Good luck to Tim for wherever he goes.
I think we as a club are better with Sam than Tim by some distance, but one thing that did impress me with Tim was not what he did with the first team but when he was playing in the reserves. He really mucked in and showed some of the young lads his knowledge. Hopefully they will benefit from his attitude in those games and with them for the rest of there careers.

| Smith wanted to put himself back into the shop window in back in the game in general, Wigan gave him that chance so i hope he will be eternally greatful for that.
I have no doubt he will return to a NRL club next year and be a success.
Cheers Tim, sorry your time at Wigan was cut short with injury.

| Couldn't run
Couldn't tackle
Didn't wanna be here.
Overrated, how can a player who can't run or tackle be any good. Just cos he can pass.

His tackling technique looked worse than Ste Tyrers at times.

| Be interesting to see if any NRL club will touch him.
Overall i thought he was pretty disapointing when you take into consideration his off the field issues which im not convinced are a thing of the past.
Perhaps the pubs and clubs of Wigan will miss him but the Wigan fans wont.
