Alex Smith

coolie · July 12, 2022

The Dewsbury Faithful would like to thank Alex & his family for all that they have done for the club over his stay at the Ram's, hopefully Alex moves on to bigger & brighter things a bit closer to home.

Thank you from myself, Graham & all the Fans that bring The Dewsbury Faithful to life.

Good luck Alex

Echo Coolie’s comments. Thank you for your service and good luck going forward. Noted you were in attendance in what appeared to be hospitality section at Widnes. No doubt willing the team on. Did not know you were about to exit the club but can fully understand why you may wish to do so. All the best.

Liam isn’t messing about,Beharrell last week going to Hunslet rest of season,Alex leaving the club all together,I’ve heard that Peltier is going out on loan for the season. Apparently he doesn’t know yet so keep it to yourselves

Wakefield Ram · July 13, 2022

Liked the way Alex played and tried to make things happen but he needs regular game time and a good scrum half to work with and build up a partnership. Have to respect LFsand Tony Smith's decision, given their vast experience in the position.

Wish him (and his dad) well. Will miss his dad's comments on the Forum.

I agree WR, but has his dad already left this forum?

For me, Alex had his best game last season at Sheffield. I hope he succeeds with whichever club he joins.

Alex will be going to another club, not another planet

I'm sure his dad will always have an affiliation towards Dewsbury & it's fan's who have supported his lad over the last couple of season's

Alex (Widnes based) now left the club and Dom (also Widnes based) didn’t play on Sunday and Matty Beharrell (Hull based I believe) moved on loan to Hunslet, so does this all mean Finny and Caspar are trying to keep the team more local?

Speakman was suspended. Think it's more to do with who they want to keep

Dom was serving the first of his 2 game ban. Like Wakefield Ram says I think Liam is looking at the players he wants to keep. I’m hearing it’s a lot more professional since Liam came in especially around training and match day.

Does that mean they'll do away with the services of those plump dodgy looking ball boys...?

We not got that far professionally yet

Just to clarify, Alex requested release from his contract due to a new job which means he couldnt get to training on a regular basis. Alex was will to fight for his place but it was becoming impossible as his new job means he could be anyware in the country on a given day. As Alex did l want to thank everyone for the support Alex has been given by both the fans and the club. l will continue to follow the Rams and wish everyone the best

In which game did Dom misbehave and by doing what?

Wakefield Ram · July 15, 2022

Halifax, late tackle, got 2 games.

Crown Flatter · July 15, 2022

Ta, but I can’t recall it happening.

Outside view · July 15, 2022

He was sin binned for the offence. I also believe the ban starts this week not last week as some have assumed.
Best wishes to Alex I hope he can find a club closer to home and stay in the game has he’s plenty to offer the game

Piggy, I hope you don’t forget us when the dogs are mixing it with the big boys, and we are trying to work out where Cornwall is. I will miss the craic, and I take my hat off to you and the rest of the dogs faithful who have resisted the temptation to kick the crutch out from under a disabled man. Class.
