“That’s been going on since the start of the year and it’s been a massive help for me, along with Matty (Peet), who has known me since I was 14. It’s all been really good for me.
“It’s about making sure my involvements are good every time I touch the ball, and making sure I don’t waste plays.
“If I build my game and control the team, then stuff will come off the back of that.

“When I missed the first few games of the season, it gave me a hunger and desire to work harder to get in the team, taking my chance when I got it.
“I know we’ve got a lot of options in our spine, so I need to continue to perform when players start coming back from injury.”
Smith says he’s been enjoying taking the Challenge Cup around Wigan to a range of people in the local community.

“The looks on the kids' faces when you go to the schools, and how much they want to touch the trophy, really puts a smile on your face.
“It’s good to get out in the community and add a bit of happiness to their day.
“I know when I was a young kid I didn’t get the chance to see a trophy, but I can imagine being over the moon back then to have the opportunity to play in Super League.
“It’s great to give back.”
