To be honest I thought we made Warrington look good in spells and that's not saying we played well.As for Smith that's another Agar call no one understands but the man himself.Richard Moore only knows one way to play and that's to give his all and well earned his mom today.

In fairness although I don't hide the fact I am pro the club and shown plenty of backing for them, I have also stated in various threads the players haven't been good enough on enough occasions, Agar has made decisions I wouldn't have made and that I won't agree with all the decisions the club makes. Although you Imply I will defend every decision anyone at the club makes I won't & don't. But I am definitely on their side, if that's your point..

As regards Smith I don't know why he has been sent on duel reg. I have been away and missed today's game. In previous games (not that I have seen them all) I feel he has gone well. I like him and think he has great potential. He's no Amor yet but I hope he will develop along similar lines. The whole forwards have been inconsistent this year and that has been a big problem for us. As I don't know the reason or thoughts behind it so I can't say whether I think it's fair or not what's happened to Smith.

Smith & Raleigh were not injured, just not selected. Our coach thought playing 3 proprs and Annakin out of position was a better move.

Just wonder if he as already signed elsewhere so been told to begger of

Very strange decision and I would love to know the reasoning

I wonder if our coach was managing his squad, resting key players for the Bradford game?

Go to spec savers - he more than big enough, jeez.

He is however young and possibly in need of a rest but not a duel reg.

I really think this is beyond all logic, this is deliberate sabotage.

Well Bren you may be correct. However I thought once out on dual reg that's it for a month and there is no recall option, but I could be wrong.

If that was the case i'd understand it but sending Smith to play for fev isn't resting him and surely Raleigh hardly needs resting, he's hardly played?

Thats loan deals, dual reg is week to week.

Vasty, you claim to know the game,
Smith is a young PROP FORWARD and whilst he's a big bloke in his civvies and certainly not small for a pro RL player he isn't big for a PROP FORWARD and gives away weight (by that I mean muscle) in the majority of the collisions he's in.

Before you tell me that he's been playing at Loose Forward, I know, but he's still taking the ball up as a prop would.
In the next couple of years he'll get closer to having the physical maturity and muscle mass that his opposition enjoy.

All I'm suggesting is that over a sustained period of games he's started feeling the cumulative effects on his body and perhaps needed some respite without actually being inactive for a week or two.

Not really beyond logic!

Yup.

He's big enough and when he's reached his full body mass he'll be a handful - but for new he's still young both physically and mentally. Hence his size isn't the issue IMHO it's his age.
