    Default Matty Smith

    Sorry if it’s already been discussed elsewhere (recently) but what’s the deal with Matty now ? Is he injured ? It’s pretty obvious he will be off at the end of the year given he’s been out of favour but with Roby and Barba injured for Cats I’m amazed he didn’t get a shirt.

    Either because he’s simply not good enough or not got enough match fitness.
    I know he had refused to play dual reg but Aaron Smith has been playing. He’s supposed to be off to Catalans at the end of the year which is a significant downgrade for them.

    I heard the Cats rumour , I still find it odd we refused to let him go now don’t seem to have any intention of playing him.

    I think the fact he refused to play dual registration has put him way down the pecking order now as far as JH is concerned.

    There’s still time for someone to get injured and need him so it makes perfect sense. Letting him go now would leave the squad (slightly) weaker in strength and depth
    Can't stop the spirits when they need you.

    This life is more than just a read through.

    I reckon Matty wasn't considered because Aaron Smith is match fit and playing well in his natural position, took his debut well was a bit slow with his transition of picking the ball up and passing to first receiver but naturally you get less time in a Superleague game.

    Matty will only play if Richardson gets injured.

    Definitely, the fact Holbrook felt the need to talk about that showed he wasn’t happy with him.

    Matty Smith will not play for Saints again, no matter who is injured.

    I only hope Richardson doesn't get injured as we will miss his goal kicking badly. That semi final loss to Cas last year was on the back of Percy missing so many conversions
