He's got a point.

He does yes.

Time to rotate the squad and play some of the 19s maybe, it's not as if they've got a day job

He certainly has a point although if they wanted to beat Saints and secure a higher placed finish, they could have rested Clark, Sandow, Hill and a couple of others against us



Seriously though, they do appear to have been dis-advantaged by playing their semi final later.

Fair comment in my view - it seems they've been disadvantaged by their success.

Yep agree with the others. Our season has finished, they still have plenty to play for.

For once I can understand why a coach is moaning.

If we'd have somehow won the Semi and had to lay 5 days later I'd imagine CC saying the same thing tbf. Saying that their teams just about fully fit and they've got some good squad players so they could rotate a bit.

Smith is a real advocate for the sport, what sometimes looks like a 'Warrington' whinge is more a general welfare of the game and players.

Smith is a decent guy, shows nothing but respect for other teams, coaches and fans yet still people see him as arrogant or smug??

I agree wholeheartedly with this and it's nothing to do with me being a Warrington fan.

Smith is correct with his comments. It's about time the governing body started to think a little more about player welfare.

Agree with you on Smith, especially the underlined bits. One of the classiest Coaches in the game for me.

Anyone who thinks Smith (Tony that is) is arrogant is either a Wigan supporter or bitter or both. I don't think you'll find anyone on this forum that has a bad word to say about him.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Totally agree

What!!! you agree he is arrogant and smug?

don't worry they will win by 50 this week and be back!!!

He's not arrogant in an overt way, and not at all towards the opposition.

I think he's arrogant in team selection sometimes, I think he mugs the Wire fans off too with some of his excuses when we lose. The fact he would drop players left right and centre for poor performances yet never dropped Asotasi.
Penny this year hasn't put a foot wrong...gets dropped yet other players have been woeful and kept their spot. There's an arrogance about him there, but other than that, he's always a gentleman.

Fully agree Yed.

Hate to say it but Asotasi had perhaps 2 good games in 2 years for us.
