| Pleased with Matty Smith as a signing, never really understood why Saints let him go in the first place.
Welcome on board Matty - hope you enjoy your time with us

I know which I would rather have, simple as that.
We now go into next season with a half-back already settled. Much better than going in with 2 brand new half-backs.

...because we had Eastmond, Pryce & Wheeler... Matty is a good solid pro who'll never let anyone down but given the choice of which 3 out of those 4 you would have kept back then then it was a no brainer frankly, irrespective of what's happened to their respective careers since.

| Good signing for you, I am sure you wont mind us keeping Mellor now. Timing also appreciated as it weakens Salford before we play them on 20th (OK may not weaken them enough, but every little helps as they say!).

That's the key thing for me.
We'll kick off 2013 with a halfback who's played the Wigan system and linked up with Sam, Mickey Mac and Lockers etc in training and matches for 7 months.

Fair enough, obviously not seen them all in action as often as you have and some players are just in the wrong place at the wrong time, it looks like that may well happen to Joe Mellor with us, never good for any player to have a serious injury but Joe's injury seemed to come about just as he appeared to be on the brink of breaking into the first team and things haven't gone kindly for him in that respect since.

2 points:
1. its not the 'business end' of the season, we're only just in July!
2. Salford didnt have to sell/release him
