The problem with Mark Smith is (as we've seen with Webster) he's playing in a pack which has struggled to dominate. So no matter how good a player you are you are never going to shine. I think anyone who cannot see this does not understand even the basics of the game.

He still tackles his heart out and never shirks his responsibility and anyone saying he's finished here needs to take a look at how loyal he has been to the club even when SL clubs came knocking. Mark Smith is a huge asset to us, whether he's been on top form this year or not.

I think a partnership between him and Duffers would work well.

Smith cant leave he's part of the furniture now, people forget that he's used to doing 80 minutes every week and this year he has suffered as already mentioned behind a beaten pack. Smithy god and Gleeson to lead the way for the Hookers next year. Duffman/Thacks and Webbo to lead the backs. Leafa/Korkidas/Gannon/Pickersgill to lead the front row.

Which is where he should be, if we actually had some decent props.

Seriously.... Sometimes it really is better to engage your brain before typing, or just not bother to type at all.

Please tell me this fella is a wind up?

Even though we (Leigh) beat you in our last game, during your dominant 1st 25 minutes you could see Smith's class. When Gannon went off you capitulated and Alstead's tries made all the difference. OK he's a right little $hit but that just adds to his game.













But still Rowley > Smith
