I must agree having Smith playing allows Barrett to play further out allowing the backs to come into the game .
With Darrell Goulding getting dropped it means we`re much more likely to see an expansive type of game which we`ve not seen for a couple of seaons .
Let`s see what he does against the scousers .

He was allowed to play due to Hull being poor and the pack going forward. Lets see how we go against the bigger teams

Maybe, but Hull have a decent pack, credit our forwards for cominating them. A lot of people have said they'd like us to sign Carvell, but our lads made him look ineffective. Radford, Berrigan, Tickle, Dowes, Thackray are decent players, too.

Hecould make a difference v Cats. Shame he will only be an 80 minute player next season.

really i think the catalan dragons game is going to boil down to the playmakers such as smith barret and Tommy lu lu as catalans are on form we will need a good performance to back our 66 points to 6 win against hull

i have no argument with anyone praising Smith and he may well become a great player in the cherry and white. However he is a number 7 as are TL and Tomkins so to expect him to just drop into 6 to replace Trent is not going to happen.We need a stand off and at the moment we dont have one.

I defy anybody to find a poster who is 100% negative or negative for negatives sake on this forum. I cannot think of anybody. Not even Dave O

Personally I am seen as belonging to the negative wing. No problem with that in the context of the MB population dynamics but that does not mean I am not positive. Far from it. Whatsmore, if I see Josie at a match, we have a natter and laugh and joke. I spent half the reserve match in the company of Right Cross we just laughed and joked. Conversation/face to face is a very different medium to typing and exchanging views on the internet.

All I ever say to people is do not post anything you would not be prepared to say in public and to the person concerned. So when I criticised Brian Noble here I would gladly say exactly the same to him in person.

A good verbal debate with somebody whether you agree/disagree with them should leave you both with a healthy mutual respect for each other.

There have been a lot of positives come out of this MB. Raising money for charity. Sharing the passion for Wigan RLFC etc etc. Just glad Mike has kept it going for so long.

What about WNAC & PrimroseandBlue

P'n'b is a wire fan - and if we won as little as they had; we'd all be a lot more negative!

PnB not been on for a while thought he would be back as Wires are on a bit of a roll and Wigan loss of form.
