Probably about as close as me getting married Ellie Goulding then winning lottery on the Wednesday then again on the Saturday followed by the Euro millions on the Tuesday.

I'd imagine it was a little closer than that.

However, neither happened (although I hope your one does, soon), so the point is pretty moot, really.

I doubt most fans of any club give a flying one about things that almost happened but didn't.

Indeed.
Though, if he'd said he nearly signed for an SL club it would have been believable, but that he might have dropped down to part time is just too daft for words.

Why? Rugby league is a short career and the offer of a full time job outside of rugby will see many part time players earning a lot more money than full time players especially at this level. Strangely an offer of a full time SL deal with no guarantee and at a team expected to finish in the bottom 4 also had little appeal.

He's already got a full-time job playing RL. He's happy doing it, and, if his circumstances were to change, part-time jobs will still be available for the foreseeable future. It's illogical that a player, still approaching his peak, would step backwards from, however it is dressed up, a decently paid job with a great lifestyle attached - especially when any alternatives remain ready and waiting for some indeterminate time in the future.

Someone at the club told me the RFL are paying Smith's wages. #RFL's pets.
