Where is Tansey now,

Playing for an NRL team. As we know that is a much higher standard than Smith is playing in week in week out.

You didn't. And yes, you have got involved. Although doing a better job of it.

G1: I suspected then and still do that Tansey's inclusion at full back in preference to Smith (Lee) was as a result of something away from the 80 minutes action we get to see each week.

I could, of course, be way wide of the mark.

Something that was still happening last season. Something that was so prevalent that the club came within a whisker of shipping him to Wigan.

I'll need to see a lot more from him with for a much lengthier period of time before I am convinced its' time to knight him like some of the revisionists.

I dont think they do build it up. You have put a lot of hard work into them and are incredibly good at it.

I have no idea too on the number of MOM awards. But I just wanted to see how it would stack up, based on how many Smith has had recently.

Of course that can not say with certainty that had Webb been there instead that he wouldn't have got MOM. Nor can it prove that Smith is any better than Webb in there.

There would however be some crededence in throwing out the silly statement that Webb is vastly superior to Smith.

There's no comparison,how many times have the M.O.M awards been agreed on by fans and pundits alike?????
FWIW Smithy has been great for us imo after returning to the team when he was on the verge of moving on.
But............Webb is a class above imo both in quality and deed in the FB position,he offers more attacking threat and directs the back line alot better than smithy.
I really hope we keep smithy and he continues to show his potential but webb is the no1 FB and unless he doesn't(god forbid) fully recover from his injury smithy won't threaten that status.

You still cant show the good grace that T Smith and Bluey have done, and admit to mistakes.

Incidentally how many games again as Tansey played in the NRL?

I don't think so, he hasn't once subtly referenced the Phil Daly thread.

Not having a go but is Tansey really going to be playing week in week out?

Yep, got to admit, even I am not saying Gareth is slating Smith.
