| It was inevitable. No hard feelings towards the guy and good luck to him in the future.

| Do you think it's a case of big fish in little pond then when they become a little fish in a big pond they struggle to cope with the pressure? Mental condition of a player can make a huge difference!

Well yeah, why wouldn't you be? A lot of pressure on players and a lot of money being spent. To me that's a bigger pond than the pond in Wakey...

I think Wigan, Saints and Leeds are the big ponds. We're more of a little puddle.

No offence but your not what I'd call a big pond. Yes the cash has been flashed but so far you have yet to get a team that's any better than the one Smith was in at Wakefield - in fact nowhere near as good as the 2012 Wakey team in which Smith made his name.
I'd agree with you if you were Leeds or Saints but as yet you are not and the level of expectation and pressure simply isn't there. Smith would easily cope with that so it isn't IMHO the reason. Not having as dig but I think you're pushing it with that comment.

| Much more pressure on Smith's shoulders at Salford than at Wakefield. Probably explains his performances.

He's not a Salford fan. Looking at his posts, I'd say he supports Huddersfield. And you'll see the Salford responses are disagreeing with that point.
But other than that, you crack on.

| Quote middleman="middleman"It Happens
Luke Dorn to Salford in 2007
Danny Orr to Wigan
Steve Blakeley to Wire
Brilliant at former clubs misfired then returned & played well for there former clubs again.
Some players just work better at one club , put him in another set up and they struggle , such was the case with Smith.
Firstly he was settled at Wakey and was basically sold to keep a cash flow , so the motivation wasn't there .
Secondly most of the key pivot players - Skyes - Kirmond Lauititi'are still there who know how Smith Plays , It was bound to happen .'"
100% spot on
