ben smith the next anthony watmough or ben creagh?

Posted by Djl on August 13, 2009 at 10:24am
ben smith is blossoming in the second row role, he is running great lines and his defence has been noticed. With a good offseason i would like to see him start infront of shane shackleton, although it would also be good to see shane shackleton start and make some impact then put ben smith on when the forwards are tired and he can use his speed as a advantage and run the lines like he has been doin now

    you are kidding
  • ParraMagic August 13, 2009 at 10:33am
    highly doubtful

    A good off season in the 2nd row will help. I think Benny should try model his game on a benny creagh - hard running on the edge of the ruck player

    I'd have Benny Smith in the team before Shackleton anyday. He's getting used to his position and just starting to get some confidence back, you watch he'll make you guys eat your words I guaruantee it! He's got tons of skill for a guy his size, knows how to get over the line and is strong - perfect for second row or centre!

    Not even close to Watmough.
  • Stu-Eel August 13, 2009 at 11:20am
    I am a Ben Smith fan, but to put him in the same class of Watmough is outrageous!
  • Jarrod August 13, 2009 at 11:22am
    Ridiculous thread.

    Hes improving every week seriouslly u see the lines hes running out wide hes starting to cause some serious damage and can only improve

    I wouldn't put him in that class, however i think he can still be a gun player and very important for us. I still would have him off the bench, it just suits his stlyle and his utility value, plus he always looks so hungry when he gets out there he really rips in and lifts the tempo.
