I thought I posted a reply Dave. It was very eloquant.
But I'll summarise by saying I like Smith. Having a player like him is worth covering his flaws in my opinion.

I did wonder how it would work at Salford for him. He has well documented issues that were well cared for at Wakefield with him being such a key cog in the engine. At Salford he is under more pressure to perform with more hot heads around to have a go. (on and off the field)
I do wonder if that is a better place for him in the long run. I don't thinki t is.

I can see the Dr having a meglomaniac " " melt down if Salford continue to perform how they have so far, in order to buy his way where he wants to be.

Spot on - I said exactly that on the VT a couple of weeks ago; it does seem that certain players are given a free pass to do what they like. O'Loughlin never tackles anywhere but the head and neck, Peacock hasn't run on to a legal pass in years and your man Morley is free to swing his arms wherever he likes.

Oh to be a 'big' club eh?

Just watched it back and it seems no coincidence to me that when the good Dr barks out (go forth and) seconds later in the back ground you can see the pink tops of the officials trotting down the tunnel!

I wonder if the Dr will receive a hefty fine, like RA did when he had a pop at Child?
