Smith is a quality player IMO and is certainly worthy of a 2 year deal for you guys.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

I’d say practically every Widnes supporter would agree but, for what ever reason, Smithy seems to be out of favour with the coach. :(

It might be do do with his high wages. I believe he’s one of the clubs highest earners – though I could be wrong.

Sometimes there are certain players you just have to keep and from a Fax perspective i believe that we always look at Smith as the main threat to us when we play you. However, Widnes have done a great job with the youth and maybe your board could be looking a season ahead to the likely scenario of SL so that they can save a few bob until its needed.

This could be part of the problem, as perhaps they will only be handing out one-year contracts to some players, with a view to ensuring that they can just release all the players they don’t want in 2012 (should Widnes get a licence) and thus have the maximum amount of room under the cap to recruit the best possible team for SL. I can see why some players may reject a one season contract and look elsewhere for a better deal.

Of course I’m only guessing here.

I would consider your comments to be very near the truth if i was gonna guess!

Can not believe have Netherton on a 2 yr contract and Smith not wanted.You need 2 hookers to interchange, and if Smith goes all the best and hope gets a good send off.

I think for any aspiring SL side in the Champ, a strong season in 2011 is a must.
