| Quote: PopTart "Well I've been watching Trinity for 35years now and Smith is one of the most skillful I've seen in a Wakefield shirt. That doesn't mean he is the most effective.
With a team more in tune with him I think he'd have been even better.
Given time we'd have built the team though.
Not irreplaceable but I enjoyed watching him.'"
Exactly this. Smith is much more effective with a competent half alongside him to share the burden, hence when sykes was available he was very good. But when alongside luminaries like lee smith and washbrook everything has to go through him and team can target that and close down his space. But once alongside a guy who can give another option he is a real handful and one of the most naturally gifted ball players i've seen down bv. And one that was rarely injured.
Despite the positive spin that some people would like put on this we are a lesser side without him. And with the money we have, or rather don't have, available we will not get anyone near his calibre to replace him.

| Good player, not a great one.
Lost track of the amount of times I shouted "FFS smith" this season. Kirmond would have been a bigger loss in my eyes so if it helps keep the club afloat then thanks Tim for giving us some entertainment but I'm not crying about it.

Assuming they renew their contracts which I believe are up at the end of this season

Yep you're right Danny Brough was another great Wakefield half back we've sold some good players haven't we over the years and yet we're still in the smelly stuff financially.

| Think the club is in so poor a financial state it couldn't offer new 1 year contracts to Wildie and Goulding.
I'd have thought this would now change with Smith off wage bill plus about £100,000 cash (if true) as Wildie provides good 7 & 9 cover.
Goulding should be played for the last 2 games at 6 and see how he goes to justify another 1 year contract.

| Tim Smith utterly over rated. I am relieved it's not Danny Kirmond, who is 10 x more valuable to us than Mr, no look, chuck the ball anywhere, Sky commentator w%£k fest Smith. He can go and annoy Salford fans fo me and if it keeps us solvent, more fool them

| I hope it is more than £100k to be honest but unfortunately they know we need it so could have offered less.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |
|
| Goulding and Kay should be getting a shot these next two games. Goulding showed some nice touches at 6 last game for his part and I'd be happy to see him and Kay pair up in the halfs and show what they can do.
As for smith been overrated, maybe slightly but with chase as his 6 I think it's a pretty shrewd signing for them.
Smith still sets up plenty and it will be a loss. Not an earth shattering loss but still a loss all the same.

| I think we should look at a loan signing from the NRL...for next season.
Someone like
