Jack Farrimond is a young halfback in their production line who looks like he will be a special player.
Having watched both Smith and Farrimond at the same age, to me Farrimond has the edge over Smith.
It`s probably a little too early in Farrimond`s career to takeover if Smith leaves at the end of 2024 season though.
The signing of Thompson as a Marquee player on a long term contract means that Wigan may have to forfeit either French or Field to enable them to offer Smith a new deal that keeps the NRL clubs away.
