| Quote ="MikeTommo"Unbelievable bickering on here over this signing!
I'm a Salford fan (for my sins) and after having time to think about it, the move makes complete and utter sense in every way. I was a little perplexed at 1st as I think were pretty much giving up on the season but being a realist our chances of making the 8 are very slim anyway. Were receiving a transfer fee and losing his wages for the remainder of the season and it's not exactly a secret that were really struggling with our finances. If we don't have the funds to make any big signings next season (again, looks likely given our financial situation) then it's a good chance for young Sneyd to come in and get a good run of games in view of him being our permanent starter next season. Hey, we may even get to see a 47 year old Sean Long pull on Reds shirt for a few games!
I like Smith, he's solid if unspectacular but organises things extremely well. He'll also look a lot better behind a vastly superior pack to ours. Don't think many Salford fans will feel as wronged about the move as the Wire fan seems to be for some reason!
Best of luck to Matty, genuinely hope he goes well for you guys.'"
No wonder Salford could get their whole crowd in a telephone box, fans like this ! |

Thanks for a sensible post, and well said... As for [uSOME[/u Wires fans, they have serious inferiority issues. |

And that is why genuine fans of other clubs have a pretty ordinary opinion of the johnny come lately Wire fans. |

you are trolling by derailing this thread, its not a thread about a warrington fan upset because they might not regain the plate from last season.
anyway surprised no one hasn't mentioned Wanky signing Chris hill at the "business end of the season".
also was there a dig about Sam being a wire fan when he was a child? if so NEWS FLASH Ratchford was born and bred in Wigan, also he was a Wigan fan till he signed for Salford.

Keep Smith at 7 and put Tommy at 9 for me. The good thing is though that we won't need to play Tommy until he is 100% |

I think they story it's in the final paragraphs off will get Cas in trouble won't it? They're talking about deferred wages isn't that "against the spirit of the cap" as we got done for?
Anyway on topic glad to see we have him signed and I hope the early move is confirmed takes the pressure off wane to play tommy earlier than when he's 100% I imagine, like others have said, that we will either loan smith back to Salford when tommy can play again as a good will thing or maybe loan them an under 20s half from now until seasons end. Surely there's some incentive to have him released early other than a fee.

Hmmm. High and mighty over ticket queries with toys out the pram and all sorts.
Yet when we actually need moderation we don't and what should be a good thread of opinion we get willy measuring and squabbling. |

Not being a Wigan fan doesn't make you a Troll although this thread does seem to be blighted by them.
Matty Smith is a good solid player who wont let you down, he is a definite step down from TL but if you pair him with a good exciting 6 with Tomkins at 1 then he should do the job. I do wonder if the rumours of other clubs including Saints being interested in him was just the usual politics clubs and agents play to force up the asking price, and if so how much cap have you used on him . (i.e how much do you have to spend on trying to find a Finch replacement) |

Amos Roberts' wages will have gone on Smith. We will still have Finch, Lima, Leuluai, Carmont and probably Fielden's to spend on any recruits for 2013. |

Fair enough , dont forget though alot of players (especially young lads) have scaling contracts , you basically become victims of your own success. |
