BT said they did a lot of research before they brought Smith in, still a lot of people didn't want to wait until we actually saw him play. Now if we can just get the bottom 2 lines working we might start to get some wins in the bank.

To be fair, Treliving track record when acquiring older guys has been rather hit and miss, so scepticism was rather natural. Smiths poor showing during the preseason didn't help with the low expectations.
It's always nice to be positively surprised
