I must admit i'd be very surprised given the recent efforts of players switching codes plus his form and being a local lad.

Evidence please?

I've always praised Smith's qualities. I've often mention the lack of pace but no doubting he's been excellent at the start of this season and the end of last.

I just hope he's not going to be one of those players who only plays consistently well when he's after a new contract..

I'm glad you admotted it in another thread as I cant find the dictaphone.

It's always balanced though.

Take me for example, I have often criticised Smith and Kirke. I have no hesitation in saying how well they played last night because they did. That's compelling evidence of my superiority of most on the fekkwitts on here.

Considering his form has only ever dipped when his coach has shown lack of confidence in him, I doubt contract situations would have anything to do with it.

He has always looked a class above a lot of players. What you would call a matchwinner.

I know I am like a stuck record, but it is hardly coincidental that its only when he is dropped from the team that his form dips.

Have a sit down and think about the difference between not rating a player and criticising him.
