Don’t remember that. But everyone is entitled to opinions.

Always been a great fan of Harry's. He's done well to cope with the pressure that came when his kicking was off cue and the last two games must have given him so much confidence for the future. Most players have the odd dip in form but, to be fair to him, I don't remember him producing a bad performance in an important game over the past two seasons. I don't think that it was mainly down to Harry that we lost to HKR in the Challenge Cup semi. Still only 23, the best is still to come. You'd expect his partnership with Bevan to develop further next season too.

If anyone can be bothered have a look around the June posts for example “what caused the slump” & “Saints away “

There’s also articles from Sculthorpe & Amor posted saying we aren’t good enough with posters agreeing with them .

That's why Scully is one of the best coaches and Amore is 100% on predictions... Ermmm?
Fans will always moan Smith can't kick, he can't beat an egg doesn't take on the line and so on My player of the year not flashy but full of determination great organizer.

Harry has been terrific all season . His goal kicking has been dismal at times and I for one though the club might rest him from these duties to relieve the pressure on him . The club persevered and it appears to be paying dividends . Good for him .

Smith is a great pressure kicker.

It's all about focus. Higher the stakes better he goes. Just needs to apply that mentality every kick.

I said this to my parents at game. His kicking no doubt has been more miss that hit but bar the KR semi which I was more concerned by our defence in the high pressure games Saints and Early season wire his kicking was on point.
