Has the Vikingman, Mark Smith love in come to an end shocker?
We got a good un in Beswick, looks like the Vikings released the wrong player.

Don't agree. BB is/was a good player but his last two seasons with us were hugely disappointing, and tbh, he didn't really impress when we played you.

He still set up plenty of tries for us last season though. IMO we've no specialist Loose Forward now who gave us what Bob did even though he wasn't the player he'd been in previous seasons. I'd have him back like a shot.

You have to remember though that in 2006 and 2007 we had one of the best packs in the division. Your best players will always play much better with better players around them and I feel that's what we're seeing now with Smith. To many players putting in average performances is going to bring everyone's performances down no matter what their potential.

You're absolutely right. If we can beef up our pack we'll see some players, who are looking lackluster at the moment, start to shine. We don't need to sack all and sundry.
