Harry Smith takes fresh step to improve his Wigan Warriors goal King record

[No straw damn us]

We have signed a goal kicking centre from Catalans , so job sorted next year

He maybe a decent goal kicker, but I've not been convinced by his centre play, particularly defensively and he certainly doesn't carry the ball as well as King. It'll be interesting to see how he goes today v Leeds. I just hope he's not an expensive Hankinson?

I'm sure it is a confidence issue with Harry He can only sort that himself with a little help from a kicking coach. It is no good giving the lad grief. Its support he needs.

Paul Grayson is a former England RU player. An RU insider but never afraid to say what he thought, relatively speaking, and with a rep for being a bit outspoken. Witness some of his stints as a commentator and punter on TV and in the press. On that basis, it might be interesting, given the pasting that England RU culture and attitudes are (justly) getting at present, to interview him on Wigan TV, hopefully to get some gems re the difference between League and Union, meaning how much better every aspect of League is than its Union equivalent, of course. Or perhaps I'm pre-empting things a little. Nonetheless, what about it?

Matters not made easy for Harry with us scoring so many tries by the corner flag.
Ironic that when he didn't play the second half the first try after half time was under the cross bar. Harry should be so lucky!

Meaning what?

There’s talk of Keighran being in running for dream team. Can’t be that bad?

3/4 so far for keighran, 2 from the touch line

Scored 30 points tonight, what more do you want?

I think you've missed the point. He's been receiving coaching from a professional goal kicking coach for which I'm sure we've paid handsomely. But I'm not convinced it's worked

For how long?

If it was that easy everyone would be knocking them over at 90+%
