He's not. And reminding us once again of that famous JB reluctance to actually pass the ball.

Re: 21-man squad v Leigh
It’s hard when you have crap possession and play one up rugby. It’s really obvious to the defence they only need to worry about one attacker.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:06 pm Think my big worry would be we have pretty much our first choice pack but they really struggled early on
If you run in pairs it holds the defence back and commits less players. If you play off the half back it allows you to hit the B C defenders who will likely be more spread out than the compact A and B.

I wouldn't be too hard on Smith, he's been OK. It's not his fault that he's having to kick from so deep.

Didn’t see the last try then?
He’s playing second row, it isn’t his job to pass the ball.

If he’s a good kicker it shouldn’t matter where he kicks from.
I’ll make the case now, his kicking is average. The hype needs to calm down and let him settle and bed in.

Re: 21-man squad v Leigh
Smith is trying kicks and passes yet hes the only one getting stick....... perfect kick for zak who drops it...... tommy none existsnt but its all smiths fault....... bateman goes centre and we start creating...... we can still win this but the poor selection of player positioning hadnt helped

It’s his role to do kicks and passes.Firestarter wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:17 pm Smith is trying kicks and passes yet hes the only one getting stick....... perfect kick for zak who drops it...... tommy none existsnt but its all smiths fault....... bateman goes centre and we start creating...... we can still win this but the poor selection of player positioning hadnt helped
Like saying Byrne and Smithies are trying runs and tackles.

Re: 21-man squad v Leigh
Yes, I did. He passed it for once. If you think JB's reluctance to pass isn't a thing, just ask Raiders fans about the GF.nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:14 pmDidn’t see the last try then?

And there's no need to be abusive.

Bateman *leaves* the centres and we start creating, shurely?
