I seem to remember Jimmy (Smith) being absolute rubbish after Easterby left. He was never challenged for the first spot, and showed his lack of professionalism by hardly even trying. If he came back to Ebbw, He would be sat on the bench behind Betts every week. -- Pontypool RFC Message Board

[> [> Subject: Agree about Smith - Easterby was far better and to a certain extent Smith "did a budget" and thought he was better than the club. Certainly 2nd choice behind Betts (who i thought was Abertillery not pontypool) and probably wouldnt be a great signing. Williams would be worth it though.
