Yeh that was my initial thought, he looked promising yesterday and I thinks a better option then Wakeham if I’m being honest. I like ken but he’s probably better of being retired unfortunately

Sad truth hey ...

Will Smith is a very well rounded footballer I reckon and he's always been that way.

Can play multiple positions and always has a crack.

He's an asset to have in the top 30

Yeh completely agree, I was abit shocked when we first signed him but was even more shocked when I found out he wasn’t in the top 30. He’s always been a solid player, he made a big difference when he came on yesterday

Perfect 14....
Can play EVERY position bar prop and be effective....

I'm still shaking my head there's not more talk of him.
The momentum shifted when he came on yesterday...

Fantastic pick up.

Yeah 100% agree with you mate. I’m very surprised Wakeham got top 30 over him

After watching Jock play for the Broncos it was a good decision to let him go. Even with a fresh start he's still too timid. He plays like he doesn't really believe he belongs. Wakeham showed that he's a better option as a backup. He has mistakes in him but he plays with confidence and fits Sheens' style.
Robbie has improved Simpkin 100% in attack, but Will Smith showed he's a viable option as Api's backup as well.
The Benji era is looking good.

Unpopular opinion about Smith but I didn't like him at 9, felt he stagnated the attack a lot & we looked a little directionless there with him at dummy half & his service wasn't that crisp. He also just kept trying crash plays & one outs to the forwards which annoyed me a little but other than that he's a wonderful asset to have.
 
If Moses signs is he expecting his buddy Brooks to still be here next year given they are besties?

I dont think there is room for both, but some have said playing with Brooks is a big attraction for him to come here ( and the money of course…)

It would be scandalous to have a halves pairing of Moses and Brooks. Hey that might get us into the 8 and we wouldn't want that!

I was just arguing/discussing this with Paws. Who cares what Moses wants ? All I care about is us winning games. If Brooks goes and we become a better team good. If any player goes and we become a better team good.

I liked Hastings but maybe we are better off without him. We might be better off without Brooks as well.

I think most of us want to win games and we care less about the players. I think you want to push the line that Brooks is a better player than AD. I'm not buying that.

I can easily beat your argument. Moses and AD would win us the comp. I'm not stating it's true but the question is who is better Moses and AD or Brooks and Moses.

Spot on, too many crash balls with
repeat sets on their line without any
real deception at the base. Positive
is that we're going to score more than
we don't from that play because the
systems seem to be in place. That's
where Api excels from 5 meters out
putting bodies on the ball with 1&2 out

He couldn't get it past the second row
 
Most of our team right across the park looked way better than last year. Okay it was only trial, but having a big fast forward pack makes a massive difference. So I think everyone should hold fire on Brooks and give him a chance to show his wares playing behind a good pack. If after a month and he is still struggling, sure go for the jugular, but till than I think he deserves some slack
