In our well-justified praise of Ryley Smith, there is a big thing being missed: his ability to read the game and footy IQ.
He is a couple of plays ahead and anticipating every move both in defence, primarily at present, but also in setting up the…

"Would Da Silva want to start at some point? Who is to say Smith wont look at PNG who will use him 80mins everyweek? That is the concern if there is one."
"I said last year that I see Smith being able to fill that Brandon Smith-like role. He played lock in Penrith's lower grades at time. He runs 100 miles an hour and has that tenacity. When you look at our lower grades and the options at lock in the…"

Exactly right Phil, glad eels fans are slowly waking up to this imposter.
On the way to getting in his ear ... B.A should tap him on the shoulder instead !
2 things
1) he has been our most consistent forward this year (and is so most years). He NEVER gets driven back, rarely misses a tackle and has the fastest play the ball of the squad.
2) he takes the multiple hit ups simply because the other soft options won’t put their hands up to have a go. That’s actually called leadership.
And then you get a blog like this criticising it!
I saw him get driven back several times against the raiders. what he NEVER does is offload or bend the line or trouble the defensive line.
But every defender knows he will never offload so tackling him is easy
I think fans a very harsh on Mannah , reminds me a lot of Ben Kennedy in the way he inspires the players around him .
Good to have you back Fong! Where you been?
