Quote Bigredwarrior="Bigredwarrior"The truth is there was a real buzz of anticipation at the start of the season. I can't remember anybody thinking we were worse by replacing Smith with TL etc and most thought we'd go far better than we did. As u say, hindsight and all that...'"
I remember a number of people questioning the TL signing at the expense of Smith, I was disappointed to see Smith return to St.Helens as I think his in field kicking is better as well as his ability to organise the side.
To remind ourselves of the impact of an organiser you only have to look at the signing of Paul Deacon who raised little excitement when we signed him.
Speaking of clever understated signings the current side is crying out for an Andy Coley type prop and a scrum half.
