Smith is now running, allbeit in a defacto capacity, this rudderless, no he is not coming back (LOL), ship lets see whether he can stop it from running aground with some astute buying, mentoring and coaching.

northey said:Exactly. at uni we were taught that in press releases you have to make everything sound great. and just by asking johns what he thinks of kurt was a great thing to include in the press release. johns isn't going to say something bad about kurt... good PR work.
maybe they have got some pointers from our new marketing person.
I'm not saying Rudder is a more talented player than kurt but rudder knew his limitations, kurt doesn't. Plus rudder will still go down as a premiership winning 5/8thBring it home Knights said:Can't agree there.
Don't forget hagan never drops players ever. The only player I can remember him dropping is rudder. That is how sh!t he was. No kicking game, shocking tackling technique, no kick chase, 3 hospital passes every game. Kurts going poorly, but never that poorly.
