He still set up plenty of tries for us last season though. IMO we've no specialist Loose Forward now who gave us what Bob did even though he wasn't the player he'd been in previous seasons. I'd have him back like a shot.
You have to remember though that in 2006 and 2007 we had one of the best packs in the division. Your best players will always play much better with better players around them and I feel that's what we're seeing now with Smith. To many players putting in average performances is going to bring everyone's performances down no matter what their potential.
