I cant (dont want to) see him at Wigan, if he does come I bet its to Wire

He is a good player

Cronulla want tim smith and don't want Greg Bird.

Bird is a better stand off then Smith.

Anyone see what is going to happen?

How many more Aussies with problems do we need in an already lacking Wigan side! I also dont see why anyone would want him when he is up in court for domestic violence...

if these reports are true then smith/bird will be our half backs for next season!! is that what your getting at?

ps smith is coming back on the 28th with tommy so he wont be joining cronulla.

I am not condoning his actions BUT if we disregardplayers for such incidents then why did we ever sign Ellery Hanley, why did we retain Joe Lydon? why did we retain Feka? No doubt there are many more.

Retain players, fine, because there is no need to waste more money by getting rid, also we dont have much media pressence in this country, so it wouldnt be as contraversial, but there is no need to go signing more nutters!
