Quote BoredWiganer="BoredWiganer"Not asking you specifically but a general statement, but where did this Smithies leaving rumour even come from? The only place i have seen it mentioned is on this thread, not even seen it mentioned on facebook which is usually full of rubbish.
No articles, nobody "in the know" seeming to back it up, no real evidence of it from what i have seen other than Smithies agent is an Aussie. Also Canberra seems to be the club being batted about, but would have thought they had been bitten enough by English recruits to stay away, especially Wigan players. Just confused at why it is being taken with so much substance?'"
I'm just speculating on the rumour banding around this thread, partially backed up / reinforced by our previous on big inward announcements being followed by outgoing ones. I'd love Smithies to see out his contract and beyond. If there are more ins to announce (particularly a big in) surely something has to give in the opposite direction? Very quiet on the Sam Powell front, and will we see some fringe outs like Halsall last season? Thinking about it, what a piece of business that was with how Wardle has shown up.
