| Quote vastman="vastman"For me there is no question it’s Smith and I’m not a big fan.
Miller is a HB who can’t pass well enough often enough. His decision making is often poor and his kicking game limited.
He is fast and he can step well but I could find you a dozen of those in the BARLA leagues.
This wouldn’t be so bad if he were British but this is a player who’s been shipped to these shores and is no better than the lad we had from Leeds Academy/Dewsbury a few years back - plays in the Championship now.
Millers best quality is that he is a trier but then so am I and you wouldn’t want me at 7!
Smith is a fair weather player and needs the team to perform before he can. He’s not a self confident match winner like Brough and does not pocess the leadership qualities of an Andy Gregory and he’s cart ho slow. However his passing game is still sublime when the team is functioning and his decision making well above the rest when we are on top. He needs a foil and Locke may hopefully be it. If he can build up an understanding with Smith like Sykes had then watch us go.'"
Think thats a pretty fair assessment. The problem for Smith as well is the fact that he is reliant on players actually making decent runs and angles so he can utilise his main strength - passing. To be fair he's had knack all on that front for large parts of the season, not to mention our pack at times has been getting dominated so he's been on the back foot and as you say given he is slow he's never gonna take advantage of any gaps in a rushing defence.

| It all depends what Brian Smith wants and needs.
If he can get into T Smiths head then who knows.
He's worked with Miller before.
Really down to who wants to listen and respond.

| I'd stick with Miller, should have been motm on Weds and Godinet looked even better than usual with the bit of extra responsibility. Smiths probably better but let him fight his way back.

| One thing we definately need amd must be a priority for next season is a player with a good kicking game. Need to splash the cash to get one though but with 16 players ooc there should be a good amount of cah available

| Has to be Tim Smith. If we can get into an attacking position then he'll create chance for others to score all day. His passing is the best in the league, but he won't go 80 metres to score and I doubt he'll be interested in taking the line on when we're 40 points down. I think Miller played well, as did Godinet, but I think their energy would be put to better use with Smith at 7 Orchestrating things.

| Saw Tim at the ground getting on the coach, he wasn't walking very well at all! I don't think he will back anytime soon! Then again look at Gareth Ellis!

| Decision may be made for us if Godinet is out for 4 weeks as rumoured.
The challenge will be keeping Millers improvement while Smith is back in the team.

My 50 years of experience tells me you need to grow up a bit more.
Two half decent performances against his old team which had played twice as many games as us hardly qualifies him as a great player does it!
So if you'll excuse me I'll stick with my opinion and I'll tell you if that changes at the end of the season where it counts.

Ellis is made of granite.
