Waney won't play Hampshire in the halves so the only hope is he goes Tomkins at 6, Williams at 7 and Hampshire at 1. That trio would be devastating but I really doubt it'll happen.

He could move Sam Powell to 7

Does anybody else think he cost us that game?i don't like to blame individuals but I think his performance tonight was shocking and although not on a par with flowers last year was pretty bad.

It all started in the 5th minute. If he hadn't dropped the ball from the restart and Wigan had then had a good set of 6 and put in a reasonable kick, it would have been a totally different game! All ifs and buts, though, but the fact remains Wigan had taken the lead but then let Leeds get straight back on level terms - primarily because Smith made a schoolboy error. Professional rugby players, particularly scrum halves, should not drop a ball from a kick off, particularly on a dry light evening. And his kicking was just poor - as it has been for the majority of the season. Rocky has to be a better alternative with George going to 7.

He needs to move Sam Powell on to a lower level club, the guy is pants

I thought Clubb was completely anonymous for you guys. Also Tomkins didn't do much. Bateman was quiet also

Can't say I disagree but Wane seems to like him so it's put up or shut up.



Please note this thread is about Matty Smith though.

Maybe start another thread on that if you think it's worthy of discussion but this is about Matty Smith and that's how it shall stay.

I posted on here before the Hull game, drop him as a kick up the bum. Maybe if we had his form might have returned , but its not.

Hate to single him out from today , but its a season long thing. If we want to improve and progress , number 7 is a position that needs strengthening. Maybe keep Smith and transform him into a bench hooker/6 or 7 back up

Liam Farrell, George Williams and Matty Bowen were your standouts tonight. Everyone else were either decent or disappointing.

I've been annoying the hell out of the person I go to home games with about Matty Smith.



Constantly pointing out that he offers nothing to the team is irritating, apparently.



Sadly nothing has changed and I doubt he loses his shirt next season.

I noticed him twice - once for his knock-on which gave Leeds a comeback straight after we'd scored, and later in the 2nd half when he fumbled a pass in his own half, giving Leeds the ball back.



Forwards can be anonymous as drives and tackles can go un-noticed, but when one of your playmakers goes AWOL, it shows up.
