He was and it’s probably no coincidence that we’ve looked a better side these past two weeks with him back in. There wasn’t really a bad performance today.

He'd be my skipper for 2021. Absolutely key to the side, but goes under the radar.

Goes under the radar only by those who seem to have an agenda against him. Never understood the criticism of him .

Fully agree. I think some supporters expect him to be a 'James Roby' style hooker, which he isn't. But he's always gives solid performances, his effort and defence is always first class.

I think he's been playing better rugby under Lam than Wane, his ball distribution has improved and his go forward has increased.

Future captain potential.

Smith wasnt it the 40/20? did he not have a word with the guy who hit him after the kick?

I don’t think you could ever criticise Powell for his commitment.

His ability has also never been in doubt.

He for me is the one player that has benefitted most by the coaching change.

He was very one dimensional under Wane now under Lam I think he has been given much more freedom to play the game and show his full range of skills.

As I understand it he has been regarded as the captain elect for a few years now and rightfully so.

started running a lot more from dummy half under Lam

One of those games where I'm listening on the radio and thinking, damn, I wish i was there! Sounds like the highlights reel is well worth looking forward to!

You will love the Marshall try just before half-time
The kicking game from Smith was spot on and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start next week

One of those games where it is hard to criticise anyone but we await far stronger tests than a one dimensional Huddersfield
