So can Smith,allowing Rocky to be given the chance to play at 6 and George at 7.
Many are willing to allow one of our prized assets to leave and return to cause havoc.
If been a good prospect was all it needed Shaun Ainscough would be starting for the Souths side by now. Academy level is not a a barometer of how great your career is going to be.
Williams has really developed and this is by playing with experience and you want Wane to risk it on a player who is not proven anything in SL.
Got to ask the question are people really blinded by if they are Wigan Youth they are an Immortal before even putting on the shirt.
He needs it to get the experience and develop.Firestarter wrote:I thought he had signed a two year extension according to the rumour mill???
Is Rocky not a 6 and Williams a 7?platt-warrior wrote:
Hmm good use of the English language Gimble,Rocky has not been outstanding is because he,s been playing out of position in my opinion.When was the last time he played at 7? Answer non yet we persever with Smith who at best is an average halfback with a poor kicking game.He has however been hooking in his previous clubs.
I may be having a senior moment here but IIRC we have seen Rocky at halfback for the first team in two games for a limited spell this year, a friendly (Leigh I think)and one game where everyone else was sick/ injured making Wane start with him and he had blinders until Wane moved him to fb or replaced him.platt-warrior wrote:

Playing out of position or not he is making big errors which in SL you get punished for against decent sides. Lets say kick off comes Smith quite a few times fields them i would have no confidence in Rocky in doing so.platt-warrior wrote:
