Another bit of good news following on last weeks (remembers to let go). Just need Bradfud's points loss to stick and a victory v London and then I might crack a smile.

Cant say im too excited about Smith being back, if i remember rightly during his last stint here if Sykes wasn't on the pitch smith was invisible, will be interesting to see how he performs this time around.

I don't mind Smith being back but can Webster please whip the pack into shape and get some enthusiasm in the forwards going forwards

Smith's interview on Total Rugby sounds really good.
Happy to be back at Wake, with still a 'core' of players he knows.
Should be a good contest between him and Drinkwater.

Just come back from hols to see this
great news! smith will steer us round the pitch and call the plays. this is exactly what we need

Welcome back Smithy

Not a fan of his at all, that said if Webster can get him to be consistent then that will do for now. Never thought he was brilliant at any stage but he can have the odd good game or the odd flash of class. It might turn out to be a great signing but time will tell - I would prefer Sammut and Godinet in the halves personally. If they would have been given a decent chance and a consistent run in the team I reckon we would be in a better spot now.

Smith will give us direction which nobody has given us this season, as the one man barge rugby shows. We will finish 10th and recruit well for next season

Re: Smith : Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:30 pm  

I hope Tim will fit in. Last time around for every good game he had he also had one well below average. Having said that he can dictate play and move the pack around the field. Looking forward that should be enough, job done.

To be honest, if Tim is gonna make a good impact then we need the pack to lay the foundations and get the other defence on the back foot.

Kinda glad it's London we are playing, I know it's a big game but we should be beating them convincingly and hopefully any awkwardness won't be punished quite as severely as if we were playing a top side.

Hopefully all the focus on Smith will give our other players a little bit more space to make something happen.
