Thought Tim played really well at times last night particularly in 2nd half, some lovely handling and if you want to show a youngster the correct way to pass a football ,show them the ones to Isaac John for their first try and then the one for Richie Mathers try , ball presented to receiver at good angle and speed ,throw in the pass changes the angle of attack and you'll have a troubled defence- very good technically

and as for his try cant remember him running at a defence too often at Wigan but Classy footwork

had a quick chat with him after the game - said it got better as it went along , there is less pressure than at Wigan but he's older now so its up to him to be more consistent and handle the expectation

Different lad than a couple of years ago -which is good all round- hope he does well

I might change my answer after today.

Well that would be jumping the gun abit. Tim Smith isnt fit to lace Brett Finchs boots. I've never known a player to be so under rated by Wigan fans. Bar his kicking game he played well today.

That was said tongue in cheek. Do you honestly think Finch played well today!? I thought he was the worst player on the pitch, he looked uninterested most of the time. He wasn't getting his hands on the ball enough and some of his decision making was terrible.

The forwards never laid a decent platform and the awful kicking from Finch, Sam, Leuluai, whoever else fancied a go meant that we were on the back foot and starting most of our sets deep in our own half.

Tim Smith has never had a running game and poor defence. Even without his off-field issues he'd been found out in the NRL. A halfback who passes every time they get the ball is almost as ineffective as one who runs every time. The only exception I've seen is when Brent Sherwin played behind a pack including O'Meley, SBW and Mason, who just monstered the opposition.

Finch has always been a solid player but generally the support act (i.e. the opposite of Barrett). If you have a good halfback alonside him he'll be fine.

What happens when he has a Hooker playing alongside him?
