I can't understand this attitude. Each to their own, I suppose if they pay their money.



With Smith I always watched him kick with hope rather than expectation. It's fair to note he wasn't a regular kicker until Pat left and he put his hand up to have a go.

As has been mentioned by others, he may not have hit the heights every week, but he always gave 100% and his professionalism was superb.

We needed a kicker - he put the hours in and stood up to be counted

We needed a drop goal specialist - he broke the Club record!

He was a leader on the field, and never gave up. Attributes that were maximised in our triumph this year, when we were missing so many senior players.



Good luck to him. He's certainly earned his corn for us. And one of the players that its difficult to find a bad word for.

Wire. Big fee.

I hope to God this is booolloocckkss.

Even if he was leaving there's no way we'd sell him to Wire.

I wouldn't sell Williams for any amount of money no matter how high a fee. This will be absolute BS in my opinion.

We are surrounded at the DW with season ticket holders like that . They appear to turn up at games as if it was a duty and are not really interested in the game at all . If a game involves having to buy a ticket outwith season games they never turn up (finals excepted) always go to the bar ten minutes before half time and leave before final whistle CRAZY

. Last season when Matty was taking the penalty with the last kick of the game to give Wigan the win against Leeds they were walking out in their droves never turning round once to see if he had kicked it MENTAL

. Just don't understand it me .

At the Hull semi I was sat next to a chap, in his 60s I'd say, he had a clipboard and pen, and two columns neatly divided up, "Wigan" and "Hull", with space for times and scorers. He began by dutifully filling it in, but he'd cleared off half-way through the second half (could have been whilst we were losing!).



I had assumed he was from a local paper , or maybe a website, but maybe not if he didn't stay for the full 80.

I'm just sat, pint in hand, listening to trains rumbling over the Forth Railway Bridge.....

Pints are nae good in yer hand better down yer neck lol

Innkeepers Lodge ?

You mean sell Williams to Wire and bring in Hardaker? Moving Sam and Tommy to 6 and 7 with Zac at 1?



That would never happen... or would it?

The main thing we will miss is the long kicking in general play. Smiths kicking in general play, bar the out on the full, was excellent in the GF. Not many kick a 40:20 in that environment. Ok so his place kicking was never the best but I think that can be learnt. As it stands, we have no one who can kick like Smith did on the last. Kicking and organization were the main reasons Tommy got shunted to 9 and we brought Deacon in.
