To add to the confusion I was talking to a member of the squad over the weekend and he told me that one of the Wigan lads who didn’t make the final cut will be playing in Fridays friendly against Fiji. He didn’t name names but if true it is beyond baffling. Why name a 24 man squad and then use playe...

No Harry Smith or Liam Marshall

I believe that both Smith and Marshall have been training with the squad this week. So maybe Smith is actually in and Sneyd was called up to replace Lomax following his withdrawal. Half backs - Williams / Syned / Smith That would mean Welsby keeps Connor or Hardaker out. Marshall is surely guarantee...

Sneyd is a big call. Lacks pace and defensive output for me. I’m very very surprised he’s not taking a punt on Harry (Smith). Has come on immensely this season and could be a wildcard pick in tight game especially with his kicking game. He’s shown in big games like Sts in CC, CC Final that he’s more...

I messaged KPP about his inclusion in the Knights squad as Shaun Wane had also named him in the main England squad earlier this season. He replied it was to give Waney a chance to watch him play in the England set up again. Surely he has seen enough watching him play for Wigan? 🤔 Any info as to why...

Started ok. Very intense defence from both sides. Harry’s picked the wrong night to have a bad kicking at goal game Too much pressure on him poor lad, he’s gutted. I agree Josie. You could see that everything was expected to go throw him as nothing else was coming from Tommy or Powell. Even the com...

Well then of them was Tommy who lacked the creativity and stiffled the game. Interesting to see if we bring in another 6/7 in the off season. Surely Cust / Smith will be first choice next season with Smith probably having done enough to make the 7 shirt his own (let’s ignore tonight’s shambles with ...

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Brad look elsewhere I wouldn’t want to sit and wait in “Dead man’s shoes” as Powell is going no where

Cust was a huge miss tonight as he and Smith have built up a great partnership.

Just wasn’t one of those nights.

Onwards to next season.

Welsby got young player last season. I’d go for Harry Smith 😊 Harry is ineligible for SL YPOS as you had to be 21 or under at the start of the season and he had already turned 22 which he is a real shame as he does deserve it. Lewis Murphy has been a standout performer for Wakefield so he could be ...

I wouldn’t be surprised if Smith is a doubt this week, it looked like he hurt his ankle pretty badly (was unable to attempt to convert the final try and passed the cone to Jai) after a challenge from Tualiage on Sunday who subsequently got a 3 match ban for it. Shorrocks put something on Instagram e...
