My Value Signing - Will Smith

Posted by sixtiesboy on July 28, 2015 at 7:54am

I rarely blog about who we should be chasing. I'll admit to hearing some names and signings from time to time and I've been pretty happy with our recruitment.However, given that our marquee signing appears complete, and knowing that we are mostly looking at providing opportunities for players with potential, I'd like to put forward a player off contract.Will Smith from Penrith.This bloke is fast, tough and can play multiple backline positions.I felt the same way about Blake Austin a number of years ago and I believe that Smith would be a valuable pick up. For mine, he would be a great addition to the team, either as a first team player (centre) or as a skilled bench utility (something that will be needed with the reduced interchange).I hope that his name is under consideration by our club.

Agree, players like Smith, Austin, Mbye give you utility value, and they are all fairly fast with the ability to ball play and decent kicking games. Munster from the Storm us another one. But if we're still after Miller (?) I doubt we will go after these types of players?

I think Miller would be a back up in the halves. Smith could conceivably back up most backline positions, halves, dummy half, maybe even a Peats style back row role.
I'm a huge fan of this bloke.

Great suggestions .... Better than staying with the ' value signings ' that we have had for the last couple of years that offer us ńothing.

Keen eye Sixties, I agree the kid has game and given more time he can be anything - but it must be in place of Morgan. Morgan has his fans but last 2 years has been a Parra Passenger.

was waiting for this.

I think we could get Smith and Jeff Lima as a package deal. You know the Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff are always a package. Boom Boom Shake the Room baby.

Will Smith would be nothing without Tommy Lee Jones. Sign them both.

Also after any loss they can erase all memory
by nebulizing the entire stadium.
Bahahaha.

our current squad lacks some serious pace so im all for anyone that can add some speed to the backline.

What about Gordan from the Titans? I heard the Titans are happy for him to look elsewhere.

Not sure if scientology and hillsong can mix well.
