You seem to be obsessed about Smithies v Knowles,no one else is. Thought Harry Smith would have a shout.
Cant wait for Knowles to give the teams in the world cup hell,surely he could be the difference on it being a successful cup.

It will take more than Knowles for England to have anything close to a "successful" world cup.
Our halves and centre options are limited to say the least and our pack looks a little weaker than the last World Cup.

We'll probably sneak a semi-final spot but, it's hard to imagine that we will make the final ?

We live in hope.
My point was Knowles being such a fantastic player with all is rings and dream team selections surely he must be worrying the opposition teams.
And just to point out if Knowles scores the winning try in the final no one will shout or be as happy as me.Playing for England all the players are together as should be the the fans.
Wrencat have faith you never know,I do see a Australian win,but like I say you never know.

Yes we are really struggling in the backline, currently in Superleague most of the best backs are overseas players.

I’m sure Isaah Yeo, Joseph Tapine and Jason Taumalolo will be sweating.

I think Smithies has been on a par with Knowles this season, only problem with that is Wigan will probably sell him to NRL and try to get him back in a few years.

Its all about quality though in respect to Knowles, a high amount of those tackles and missed tackles would be upfront or one on one tackles. Something Jamie Peacock mentions quite a few times this season on commentary.

In comparison.

Its all about quantity in respect to Smithies a large part would be 3rd man in floppers or 2nd man in leading with the head.

Thats why Knowles is back in the Dream Team for the 4th consecutive year, Smithies is nowhere to be seen maybe they should introduce a FLOPPER award.

Would this be the same Morgan Smithies who in 2019, aged just 18, set a new Superleague record by making 72 tackles in a single game? And he wasn't even on the field for the whole game!

I suppose they were all 3rd man tackles and flops though hey?

Have a word with yourself mate. You're beginning to sound like a child.

What do you mean "beginning".
He is obsessed with comparing Knowles v Smithies,and if you disagree you are a nobody or a wigoon, I honestly think he is not well and is holding onto reality with his finger tips

as it stands Catalan are the best team in the league,they won the hubcap !!!
That makes 1 trophy to Stains and 1 to Catalan which was the leaders shield thus making them the Leaders.

So now Stains are back to being the best? 1 trophy to Wigan 1 to Stains which was the leaders shield thus making them the leaders.

Some one has been looking very hard to come up with that little jem.

As Stains are the league leaders then I would say yes (they have won more games dont you know).
Wigan have won the CC so they are cup holders and were the best team in that comp thus the only winners of a comp until league leaders came along.

Now the actual champions are the winners of the GF as I have said all along.
If Stains win or Wigan or Salford or whoever wins the GF they will be the rightful Champions as the rules go.
