Matty Smith leaving Saints
Now I know he had his critics but I liked Matty, since next season will just be a limbo year until Edwards arrives do you think it'll be worth it for one year.
Pros
A leader on the pitch
Game intelligence
We lack a true #7
Can kick as well as anyone we have at the moment.
Takes some pressure of George
Cons
Age
We're not going to go out and pay a ton of money next year so imo it makes sense.

Not for me in a million years, not good enough for us or Saints.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Matty Smith leaving Saints
OP must have a replica shirt with "Smith" on it so is looking to get another years use out of it without spending any money - a bit like Catalans really

I'm a better fan than you
Because I don't "Boo"!!!
Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are

Re: Matty Smith leaving Saints
I must be confused but which of our 7's is a better player and leader than Matty?
Unless AL is going to be given money to go out a buy a scrum half then the answer is none.
