Quote: Backwoodsman "I am working on the assumption that your postings are factually correct. Looking for a big enforcer pack leader? Wonderful ,it’s taken 3 seasons for him to realise that’s what we are lacking. Moving Frawley on ? He signed the player so presumably he has come to conclusion like most of us he is not very good. Beggars belief that he is even contemplating giving Robert’s a new contract, Robert’s is another average player. To cap it all he wants to sign a 37 year old winger. I would prefer Smith to keep out of any transfers and signing of new players, he has already done enough damage.'"
In Smiths defence he's had a heck of a lot of salary cap to juggle and sort out, he may not have had the finances to bring in a high quality prop / enforcer before next season given our need at 6, 7, 9 and 1 etc. In criticism of Smith, if we really are thinking of quickly moving Frawley on then that is a huge error from him.. a really bad one, however we need to be ruthless, personally i'd be surprised if the club is writing him off so quickly, we've seen many a signing grow over a season and peak the back end and kick on the following year - but 7 is such a key position it's one where you need the player to hit the ground running really.
