Ryley Smith V Da Silva minutes distribution

Not sure who you guys think should be getting the lion share of the minutes but I think Ryles is cutting smith minutes a bit much. Da Silva is a good injection for 30-35 minutes but would like to see more of Ryley smith. Maybe both can be on the field at the same time at stages but that might be a next season thing

  • Smith needs to pick his game up or he will become a bench player 

    • I like both but think smith has more cohesion with the team which makes sense hes been here all season. I think Ryles will figure out a way to use both eventually similar to how dragons use cook + liddle 

      • The big advantage that Smith has is the terror like approach with speed off the line and harrassing the kicker.

        He should always be on the field if it shapes as a golden point game.

        I am very comfortable with the 2 young hookers, but I would not mind having them on together on occasions. just not sure how they can be close together in the ruck though. A little bit disappointed in TDS running game, but it is early days and I do believe Smith is very important to our game structure.

        • Yeah he's still really green, and prob needs to pack on some size but that's going to happen. Ryley is just a better player currently and his minutes probably need to be closer to 50. It's a balancing act hopefully they work it out to end season but both 9s offer something 

          • They offer something different too which is key.

            • Good point LB.

        • Could see smith in more that speedy lock role eventually I'm hoping, he is such a competitive player definitely need him out there more 

        • You can have Smith in that Dylan Walker role as he is not a defensive liability.

    • Smith needs to pick his game up? You mean TDS?

    • They are both bench players at present!
