The rise, fall and remaking of the greatest rookie in NRL history - ABC News https://apple.news/AxWohVkejRUqwjQZa8TwS0QAnother link to the articlehttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-11/tim-smith-nrl-parramatta-eels-2005-try-assist-record/105260356
"Think Smith Warner and Bancroft - same cheating bs tampering to gain advantage. "
"I did say if he trimmed down. If he was proper fit and kept in shape I am confident he could handle cup level footy. I am not saying that will happen"
"If you're not first, you're last. We were never going to win a comp in 25. Are we on a better path than.the previous decade, I'd say it's early days but yes."

Haven't really seen much of him, seriously is he any better than Russell?.
Can play wing or centre quick but lightweight. Defence is an issue also.
He's decent in size, Fullback by trade.
The Eels recruitment obviously have great eye for talented players. 👏
He's quick. Out of yardage he'll struggle. I bet the bushie now wishes he'd kept Lelesiou
He's deceivingly bigger than what he shows. He is a fullback by trade and put some decent numbers late in the year with metres and try assists. Seems to be a diamond in the rough that can be developed
At first I was like "Really?" But upon watching film he can get better, especially after having some NRL game time.
Being a Fullback at Sunshine Coast helps his cause too.
Sunshine Coast as in the Storm feeder club?
Yeah he was with Sunshine Coast Eagles last year, before being plucked by Canterbury.
Well he's gotta be half decent then. Storm don't usually waste time on player development.
Too be fair, he wasn't contracted to Melbourne, plus they let him leave to Canterbury on a train and trial
