Hello Mr Hood

The fact that you see a good player like Smith fluffing his lines at acting halfback shows how good Hood is.

Think it is more down to Smith not been a S L player ,one more bad signing from what I have seen . First time I have watch players at Wakefield and know who ever plays the standed will be poor with ball in hand. Going to Leeds to see if we can score a try

I don't agree but as a team we do need to get our attack more in tune.
We panic too quickly a rush things when a bit of composure would get us the trys.

I think Smith just needs to get used to the pace and pressure of Super League. He seems to do the dumb play or offload that might have been ok in the championship but get punished at SL level.

I don't get this 'we've played three of the Top Four teams so it's okay to have lost all three games as that is what was expected'. I can't comment on the Catalans game as I was away and couldn't attend but as regards Wigan, I expected a loss but not by so many. Friday night was utterly disappointing as Huddersfield were there for the taking. As my father would have said 'a good team would have got a 100'. Yet time and again we let them off with a practically none existent attack. Apart from some good runs by Kershaw nobody else seemed to have a clue. Did we actually make a break in the entire match? People standing near me kept saying it was the worst match they had seen in a long time. Apart from the defence which only let us down once when they managed to walk in for their try their was little to cheer about. We have to beat rubbish like Hudds on Friday if we are to stand any chance of staying up.

75th minute Taufua made a break on the left, other than that it was rinse and repeat for the entire match, not withstanding a crap kick from Gaskell in the last minute. It's frustrating to see how laboured in attack we are, and when we got into good field position early on in the tackle count we made an error.

and he got smacked round the head for his troubles

No I may be a bit negative about this season, but just seen match highlights ,and though the 2 point penalty was a harsh call

I can't recall, was that the 'dangerous' lift where the attacker was safely lowered onto his back?

I thought so too and it was only given after play had moved on and Hudds knocked on.
