<p> &quot;My job is to find a replacement or to develop someone to replace Matty.&quot;
</p>
<p> Smith is part of the England Knights squad for their match against Ireland on Saturday.
</p>
<p> His future has been debated for some time and Wigan coach Shaun Wane, who will lose
<a href="/sport/0/rugby-league/18380209" title="Warriors announce Finch departure" >Brett Finch</a>
and
<a href="/sport/0/rugby-league/15808381" title="Leuluai set for last Wigan season" >Thomas Leuluai</a>
at the end of the season,
<a href="/sport/0/rugby-league/18330473" title="Wigan confirm interest in Smith" >confirmed his interest in signing the former St Helens man</a>
earlier this month.
</p>
<p> Speaking to
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/articles/2009/02/11/rugby_league_extra_feature.shtml" title="BBC Radio Manchester Rugby League Extra" >Rugby League Extra,</a>
Veivers continued: &quot;We made a contract offer to Matty, Widnes came in with a massive offer, Saints came in with an offer and so did Wigan.
</p>
<p> &quot;There are four clubs chasing one guy and the guy&#039;s got to make a decision where he wants to go or what he wants to achieve.

<p id="story_continues_2"> &quot;He&#039;s already been at St Helens, and Widnes would have been a viable option because he wanted to be part of the rebuilding there. We&#039;re in a rebuilding stage here and I was hoping he was going to be the man that I could build the team around.
</p>
<p> &quot;The way Wigan are playing, they&#039;re on top of the table and in the frame for every honour this year and you&#039;d think they&#039;d be there next year so you can understand why Matty would make that decision. He probably wants silverware.
</p>
<p> &quot;It&#039;s not that it&#039;s the representative side of things because he&#039;s in the England Knights side playing with Salford.&quot;
</p>
<p> Wigan have also been linked with a
<a href="/sport/0/rugby-league/18431738" title="Wigan move would interest Chase" >big-money transfer for Castleford&#039;s Rangi Chase,</a>
who has said he would be open to a move to the DW Stadium.
