Lets see if Balmforth is in the 17 against Saints Would be a good indication of whether it was Smith who was blanking him
TS already stated that Balmforth had a few things to work on so we know it was Smith who was ‘blanking’ him. New coach might start a clean slate with all players but if our youthful messiah misses a high percentage of tackles then he should not play until he sorts it out
On one hand he’s a beast. Very fast for a big bloke, all the attributes and is a future star. But doesn’t think he’s ready yet so doesn’t want to play first team.
On the other hand he’s walking around the club like billy big rubbish and Tony didn’t like his attitude.
Seems odd that he hasn’t played much in the first team after signing him from another club as an up and coming star.

On that basis we wont be able to raise a team for Saints
