Witt needs more time, says Smith
Brian Smith has indicated in the Telegraph this week that Michael Witt is likely to start in the season in Premier League, while Adam Dykes holds down the five-eighth position.
"Michael proved on a number of occasions that he has a good head for the pressure of NRL football," Smith was quoted as saying.
"He is a smart kid but he does know he has a lot of work to do on his game. I think in the early season at least our preference is for him to develop some more before we put him back there again."
"We feel that later in the year we will have a clearer picture of whether to play Dykes and Witt or Dykes or Witt."
