As mentioned earlier, when he started to interchange at hooker towards the end of this season he actually played his best rugby for Salford but that one handed pick up, whilst creating a few opportunities, resulted into several knock-ons and made him look rather foolish.

If he is coached well, and Kear is better than McRae, he could be a good player but I for one am happy to see him leave Salford. I will never forget his flippant attitude. The amount of passes he has missed due to lack of observation and sometimes even turning his back to the play is ridiculous. He played every game in his first season at the Willows and never had a good one. What McRae was thinking by keeping him on the pitch was anyones guess!!

BTW That comment about us taking Gleeson, classic

You'll see! Hopefully you won't, he started off well for us, and was great for the Irish in the world cup, but his game almost disintigrated this season. Good luck to him, hope he does you well.

I have heard a rumour that Rooney is going to Bradford next year so I doubt they would be in the market for Obst.

Regards Smith, has been poor so far in SL hopefully his form will pick up whilst at Trinity and he can find the consistency his game really lacks.

FFS you don't really believe that do you







However if you are right, how desperate must Bradford be.

Anyway, have you heard anymore of these Wigan Lads we were supposed to be signing.

cant believe we have signed a player who was deemed not good enough for a struggling side like salford. Who are we going to compete with next year? certainly not cas or salford who have made quality signings. Bit fed up

Not one of my most reliable sources but it came from a current Fev first teamer who told me about Smith a few days ago.

I assume any Wigan player movement will be announced after Wigan go out of the comp, so hopefully you will have to wait another few days yet.

CERTAINLY NOT THE YOUNG AUSSIE HALF BACK WEVE BEEN AFTER

Presumably smiths signing means the one you refer to is not going to happen?

I'm about to stick up for Smith, so most Salford fans are probably going to slate me now. However, he signed an autograph for my 5 month old son at his first game the other week.

Smith does have the vision and skill to put other players in space/through a gap. The downside is, he just doesn't seem motivated. Looking in from the outside, McRae seems to be carrying the can and his lack of motivation seems to rub off on some of the players.

I am well aware Kear isn't the most popular with many Wakefield fans, but you wouldn't to swap, and I'm in doubt Wakefield will get more out Jeremy Smith.

don't see the problem. he just takes tevitas spot. both on quota

Poor signing in my opinion. How can we exspect a player that cant even get a regular spot at salford to run wakefield around the field? Feel like were becoming the laughing stock of superleague. I for one honestly thought that we would have a quality halfback coming into the squad. Its left me very dissapointed... and for the first time i actually think that weve alreadu decided were going to NL1.
