Matty Smith : Fri Jul 06, 2012 6:54 am  

The Daily Star (I know, I know) is reporting that Wigan are going to get Smith within days. Are we really so hard up that we need to agree to this and disrupt our slim chance of a top 8 finish?

Re: Matty Smith : Fri Jul 06, 2012 6:59 am  

We must be getting something out of this if we're letting him go early, wouldn't mind a sniff at the young full back on a years loan or maybe any of the others good youngsters who are struggling to get into the first team because of the form the rest of the team are in.

For starters you've more chance of seeing the Pope's ass than us getting a top 8.
What will we get out of it? We'll save his wage for the remainder of the season and allow young Sneyd to get some serious game time and work on his partnership with DJ.

Plus Why loan out a young fb when we've signed Tower's? Surely he should be given game time if he needs it instead of some wigan kid.

Best kicker of a 40/20 I've seen.

Keep getting told by those who have seen him play plenty that Towers is nothing but pace and would get found out very quickly at full back. Like him or loathe him as a full back Patten this term has been one of our most potent attacking players and we'll miss him next year.

Signing for Wigan today according to this poster on twitter https://twitter.com/PhilWilkWIG/status/ ... 5035386880 Deja vu from back in 1998(?) when McAvoy played for Emerging England at Widnes as a Salford player and within a week had signed for Bradford.

Signing for Wigan in time to play the rest of this season for them if you believe twitter, which would mean we get a transfer fee out of it.

Not if we've agreed to release him early.
