It does seem like a risky tactic and one that made us lose Walters but from what GH says, Walters wants to play outwide and Smith sees him as a middle. So he may not have wanted to stay anyway if Wigan are offering him the chance to play his favoured position.

Walters is a better prop than second row, his recent stints at 2nd row have been poor

Very good article, probably the most in-depth interview GH has done in years or even ever.

The comments on Newman were also interesting I get the feeling if he has another injury hit season they won’t renew his contract

Thats the way I read it, too. Which suggests the club is thinking about things in the right way, for me. We cannot continue to have undoubted talent sat in the stands. Availability is an ability, even more so in a salary capped sport.

Hes probably going to want a pay rise too, which he currently doesn't deserve.

Have the club made any sort of announcement on the situation yet?

No which makes me think there’s something legal involved
