Probably about the same as him scoring a hat-trick to win it
I'm a better fan than you
Because I don't "Boo"!!!

Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are :roll:

To be fair Josie we are extremely "light" in the forwards. Nine named and assuming Lam continues with rotating Shorrocks with Leuluai then I guess he will go with the three forwards on the bench. Simply no place for Escare and with the inexperienced forwards we will need to rotate and spell them against the much bigger/experience of the Catalans pack

I understand that, I just feel so sorry for him. Why give him the number 1 shirt if he’s not going to be picked. I feel he would make a good hooker because he scoots & is fast. He actually thought he was going to be playing on Sunday. It must be so very frustrating for him!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

What a claim to fame that is, he must rate as an all time great now then and go into the hall of fame :roll:

The the chance of him winning the game with a drop goal isnt as unlikely as your trying to claim.

Whilst Smith is on the field their is every chance however small that he could get a drop goal. Would it be a match decider is debatable. Just why you think Smith will be key to whatever Catalans do is baffling. More chance of ST scoring the winning goal/try or at least creating it. Are you are so full of expectancy for us to lose (which you almost appear to be wishing upon us with your obsessive posts about such a mediocre half as Smith)

Nope i have quite jumped on the anti wigan train yet. More pointing out the chance of him winning the game with a drop goal compared to scoring 3 tries is drasticly higher because he has form for one.

And all i have ever said around Smith is he did alot more than what people gave him credit for.
