Said when Tim went to Salford, that I would give him a clap and a cheer when he ran out at BV.

Just didn't expect to probably cheer as loud in the circumstances!

Im with pop tarts line up for Friday Sammut at full back Timmy at 6 and Godinet at 7 with McShane and Wildie at interchange hooker just need the rest of the players to do the hard graft.

Shame he got abused over at Salford by Wakey fans.

Be the same fans chanting his name in a God like worship on Friday.

smith will play some part on Friday. visa is not a problem.if korki's over here tell him we could do with a hand up front. we have got no one with any real punch only moore. at least they both have some heart. the pack has been bullied all season

What do they know about talent ? they didn't rate Sneyd and shipped him out to us on loan. Smith is a massive signing for you and if there ever was a chance of you finishing in the bottom two its now gone completely.

God - this one again!



There was a bit of light-hearted sledging that he seemed to take in good spirits; he obviously didn't take it to heart, or he wouldn't be coming back!



I'm ambivalent about this news, but if he does for us what he did during our miracle run, I'll be a happy man.

I'm pleased that he's coming back, there are very few half backs who could work successfully with Chase, so I'm not massively concerned about his form at Salford.



We all know what he can do when he's in the driver's seat, if he can start putting the likes of Sammut, Godinet or Moore gaps with his linebusting bullet passes then we will definitely score points.



Might even be tempted to put Sykes at SO again, and spell McShane/Godinet at hooker to keep the defensive side of things a bit fresher. Those 2 have already played in the halves together and given our predicament, we may not have the luxury of gelling time.

Another bit of good news following on last weeks (remembers to let go). Just need Bradfud's points loss to stick and a victory v London and then I might crack a smile.

Cant say im too excited about Smith being back, if i remember rightly during his last stint here if Sykes wasn't on the pitch smith was invisible, will be interesting to see how he performs this time around.

I don't mind Smith being back but can Webster please whip the pack into shape and get some enthusiasm in the forwards going forwards

Smith's interview on Total Rugby sounds really good.

Happy to be back at Wake, with still a 'core' of players he knows.

Should be a good contest between him and Drinkwater.
