Hodgson really the only one because of his goal kicking that cannot be dropped really and it is key to give the you the young lads a bit of encouragement

I don't care if we lose next week as long as Smith is on the record and says that he CANNOT play the those players he dropped as they were below the standards expected from the club.

It means that our new generation of fans can start talking like the rest of us,

"I've watched Warrington for two years now and I have to say the current shower are the worst I've seen".

Is there any pride in the jersey any more?

Smith strikes me as the kind of chap who would rather work to build up and work on a player's game, rather than drop them based on a couple of performances. I think he only drops when he thinks the head isnt right or they've been a bit naughty.

or too send a message that they are not safe based on last season performances?
