Total Rugby League 540 Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Morgan Smithies is a young man on a mission, but he’s doing the business quietly where it counts on the pitch, and leaving it to others to shout about his prospects. Read the Rugby League World interview by Matthew Shaw with the young Wigan Warriors star, online now.

Fax Knight 41 Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Watched him at eight years' old smashing lads in every tackle (fair, but hard). He plays just the same way now, only it's Super League players getting put on their backside and there are fewer tears from the oppostion (though I think Greg Bird might have shed a few). He's actually got great handling skills and sometimes played at 6 for his Siddal junior team. Him and Holroyd were always a cut above and I hope the latter gets over his injuries and has a simialr impact to Smithies in 2020. Credit to Siddal for developing players like them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scubby 12,016 Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 The NRL clubs will be keeping an eye on him. Wigan is a good breeding ground for players going onto bigger things! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
