Smith wasn't great butche was the best of the three half backs today. John is ineffective and Wood was the worst of the lot. Its go forward we need and our pack is not up to the job. Without that any half back in the world would struggle. Anybody putting all the blame at Smiths door is quite frankly clueless.

:CLAP: Whatever any forum members say WTW won't get anybody with a better pedigree than Tim Smith. He has proven NRL quality and experience but like others say he is under pressure due to a pack not going consistently forward or winning the collision.

THE ONLY WAY WE WILL GET THE BEST OUT OF OUR PLAYERS IS TO SUPPORT THEM FULLY NOT PULL THEM APART. ITS A CONFIDENCE GAME & SMITH HAS SHOWN SOME REAL QUALITY AT TIMES DURING THE SEASON. HE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT HE IS BE WILLED ONTO PRODUCE INSPIRATION TO A STRUGGLING TEAM. TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER.....

I may be in the minority but I for one hope we keep him next year and give a good pack to work with.All the ones who booed him today should hang their heads this is a complete no no and does not help at all especially when the whole team were pretty poor against a wire team missing a few first team players.

Re: bigeest cheer today : Sun May 20, 2012 6:52 pm  

Smith has been consistently average/poor all season, this is why people are getting frustrated when every other team in SL has a player in the halves that take the line on, create problems/half decent kicking game. I fear Smiths's fate is sealed at the end of the season and rightly so. Bring back Tommy Lee all is forgiven.......... Errr maybe not.

Don't want to see us without Smith against Cas but I don't think either of John or Wood would be missed.
Collis runs hot and cold but still offers a lot more than Mellars.

Get Wildie and Walshaw back in.

Dont agree with all this support the players no matter what tosh. If they cant handle disquiet from supporters then I worry about their mental toughness. By the way I am currently training a pup that at the moment is wazzing all over a variety of carpets in my house. I guess I am supposed to stand back and applaud him warmly before tickling his tummy and giving him a chocolate drop. I was thinking of berrating him in a direct manner and letting him know that he needs to change his behaviour - I assume that this would be cruel and effect him mentaly leading to a terrible life and subsequent suicide.

Are you suggesting Barbara Woodhouse should be our next coach?

Not in your mind but like I said, knowing his condition, he was not on this 'planet'. You have to know the illness before you make statements like that.

I take your point, but in that case he is a player we can Ill afford, no pun intended.
Maybe he is in the wrong job.

Fair enough...I hope the next time you get a little bit of criticism you don't slit your wrists! Stupid comment! Fair enough, I don't expect him to be wrapped up in cotton wool and sing him a bedroom story to show how much we love him but he is far from the worst player on the field. I have attended Belle Vue for many years and that is the only time I have heard fans cheer and jeer a sub player in such a sarcastic manner. It is counter productive- simple as.

Some might say The 6ft under Woodhouse might do a better job than Agar ?

You could argue you that he is the wrong job. The reason why he went off the rails before was due to the tabloid pressure, criticism and expectation. The sad thing is that it would be the biggest waste of a player I could recall.
