You may think I need to take the tinted specs off but I think you just need to start wearing some specs, if you can't see that there's been no improvement on structure or putting on moves.
I can bet that even when Smith isn't in front of the cameras, he's positive and makes players that aren't as talented as what we've got,believe in themselves.
Take for instance George King, I was underwhelmed with his signing but people said he was going to be the next big thing. At Wakey he's not been used properly, I expect him to be used correctly and given a specific role at HKR and let's see what he does.

I don't think anyone expected him to be the next big thing.
He was good at what he did but isn't irreplaceable.

Smith is an excellent coach and I'd probably say better than Chester..... But that doesn't make Chester rubbish.

When King signed, people were saying in the next few years he would be one of the best British forwards about.
I would say in his 2 years at Wakey, he's stood still if not gone backwards.
But it looks like in the next couple of years he may prove to be a quality British forward.

I can’t see King becoming any better than he is now - a solid grafter.

Well I would stop taking advice from those people because they were clearly wide of the mark.
Warrington certainly didn't think so.

Which asks the question why did Wakefield sign him.

If he was going to be the next best British forward then why did he join Trinity!

I like him, works hard but can be replaced at the same time.

To say you’re twisting the narrative to suit your argument would be a huge understatement but that’ I suppose is what people do when they get frustrated.

This season we were hugely unlucky against Hull and Wigan but I suppose that doesn’t count.

You need to take off you extra thick rose tinted specs if you think HKR are playing RL that’s streets ahead of us, they are not. They don’t have the worst injury crisis in the game.

Smith being positive, doesn’t happen much, now why would he suddenly be happy after his first win in yonks? I just can’t work it out, can anyone help?

I was thinking the same, he's usually very dour and evasive in the post match interviews but last night he was almost bouncing.

Hardly surprising after that performance and result!

Why do Wakefield sign most of the players we do?
