Quote XBrettKennyX="XBrettKennyX"Quite, but then we had TB and TS playing at halves. Two of the most gited halfbacks around.
Unless Nobby picks Tomkins who have we got? Lockers...............
I bet the Aussies are two double laughing at the thought of Lockers playing at 6.
This is a key area where I disagree with Nobby.'"
Sorry BK but for me Smith today, particularly in the second half was one of the major reasons we lost. The kicking game from Wigan was absolute garbage and Smith has to take much of the blame for this.
His inability to take the correct decisions - frankly I lost count of the number of times he moved the ball the wrong way - and lack of basis fitness (or is he injured?) in the second half really hurt us too.
I'm not saying the defeat was down to him - our forwards as a whole were very poor (several of the Leigh players from last week could have done a better job than Coley) and our defence on the right hand side was simply embarassing in the first half - but to say that TS on the form he showed at the end of last season and so far this season is a gifted halfback is wrong.
You said earlier that we are short of a halfback, totally agree with that, but that's because TS isn't up to the job. I am praying for a vast improvement from him....
