A very talented player and has the potential to be the best 7 in SL. The problem is, he is a specialist 7, not a 6.

At most SL clubs, there is no diffeence at all in the modern game. They operate down either side of the field. There's no link work anymore.

Your wrong. I agree for alot of players there is no difference but Tim Smith is an out and out 7 - a classic ball player not a runner which is why he should not be a second reciever.

That is the issue.

He doesnt play as a second receiver.

He plays down the right and tommy down the left. We play a structured approach based on 2 scrum halves. This is all wrong in my opinion and we need timmy at 7 with a second receiver at 6

Smith was first receiver most of the time last night.

Sounds promising...maybe Noble is realising?

He was by far your best player last night. He seemed to do a lot talking and he tried his best to lead the side around the pitch.

I hope tim smith proved some people wrong today thought the kid di very well give some great balls out to our centres, ok one or two dodgy kicks but i thought the kicks to the corners were excellent

Wot about the kick he did which went out on the full and the next set hull scored off it.

I take it that he hasn't learned to tackle since last week then. They were possibly the two worst attempts at tackles I've seen for years for the 2 Wakey tries.

Well there was another break straight up the middle like Wakey did in the 1st minute last week - Hull bombed it completly. At one point as well he was defending on the wing!
