Smith will only improve if we bring in a specialist halves coach like Andrew Johns at Warrington. He's clearly deteriorated since Deacon left Wigan and the club have failed to replace him. No longer worthy of the cherry and white.
I thought Smith played well tonight. He was far busier and involved himself far more. He easily outplayed Luke Gale who I thought had an absolute shocker (especially his kicking).
I heard some people bag Mossop after his first spell which was off the mark also because I thought he was our best forward early doors.
Can't agree on Smith. His passing accuracy is shocking with runners having to either reach behind or check their runs to take a pass. He put a couple of decent kicks in and even if he was slightly better this week, overall he's not good enough, consistently enough.
I thought Mossop went ok but I think Crosby deserves a mention. After 6 months out that was a cracking 1st game back. Bateman is just a freak! Love watching him play.
To be fair to Smith, according to the radio commentary he received a lot of pretty terrible passes, which doesn't help when you're trying to put your team on the front foot. And he did kick the goals!
