We offered Smeltz $s to stay in Wellington but apparently it wasn't about the $s - he moved to GCU so his family could go home and live on the Gold Coast - but then he accepted a move to China. He then did a runner back to the Gold Coast because his family couldn't live in China. 
 
He then accepted a move to Turkey - which hasn't worked out.
 
I'm buggered if I can work out what motivates the guy - one day his family is the prime determinant the next day it's $s the day after it's his family.
 
If there was truth in his original reason for leaving Wellington why would he come back and how could his family settle or would he leave his family on the GC - which is a path to an unhappy player.
 
I would love to have a player of Smeltz's ability but I can't help but worry about his stability - I think we may well be better looking elsewhere.
