I have the utmost faith in SW's coaches,they will home-in on his weakness's imo

Tim smith is far to inconsistant and at 27, if he can't defend now he isn't going to learn to any time soon.

Sometimes you have to show faith in a young player and allow them to develop. Obrien seems to be doing very well at Wire. His halfback partner for GB academy v Aus was Sam Powell. Perhaps Powell or Mellor just need the time / patience to develop?

Agree entirely, Obrien looks very good indeed and when the time comes Wore will have a very good spine.

1 ratch 6 Obrien 7 Myler 9 not sure if they have youn quality 13 Harrison.

I hope your having a laugh!
Why? Do you doubt tim smith's talent.
I dont think people doubt Tim Smiths talent WG, its maybe doubts about his behaviour off the field that people have doubts with such as his chequered past of scuffles and drunken behaviour.

I dismissed these suggestions as well but remember Tim Smith was here in the Noble administration. We've come along way since then. If SW brought him back, he'd obviously be sure he could deal with him?

Just playing devil's advocate!

Tim Smith has shown he can be a decent Superleague player, his passing game is very good and his kicking skills are pretty good too.
IMO, Where he lacks is with leadership skills, he appears very immature.
