| I have always supported Matty. He was good for us. So many tight games that he settled with a drop goal. He had bottle in abundance.
As for his place kicking. He never wanted the job, but got on with it without complaint.
A great organiser, a great team player and I fear we will miss him. He practically carried the team throughout April, May and June.
So good luck at Saints Matty, because you earned every penny that Wigan paid you.

| Two grand finals, one Challenge Cup (Lance Todd trophy winner), not a bad haul for such a short space of time. Could have been more if we'd had more luck.
You can't fault his effort and determination. A likeable bloke by all accounts, must be a good feeling that your hometown club want you back knowing they made a mistake to release him. A key player for us this year.
Deserves our applause prior to the next Derby.

| Good luck, Matty.
I didn't rate him particularly as a player, but he always gave his all and has walked away with quite a lot of silverware.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
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 |

| Smith should be applauded for his time and efforts at Wigan. He has got the chance to go back to his home town club on a long term contract that will secure his and his families future. Good luck and thank you.

He will only come to Leigh if he can play half back, thats statute in any contract for him.

| Usually when a player with limited ability moves on it is a happy moment but with Matty it's different. For what he lacked in skill he made up for in abundance in tenacity and determination. It's a very bitter sweet transfer but he deffo goes with my best wishes and will be the only St Helens player i will ever applaud when he comes back here to play against us.

I think all us Wiganers know deep down that Ryan Hampshire has no future at Wigan.
