"Our junior talents right now is not a problem. It's about retaining them and the transference into an NRL player. It's not the scouting that's the issue. Our SG ball team is probably the most talented team in the comp. PT and SB would agree with me…"
"I think most likely we'll lose but we'll be fine. For team like us, battling to sneak into the 8, no one game is make or break till the end. Teams like us are inconsistent, it's part of it.
So no, I don't feel its make or break. "
So no, I don't feel its make or break. "
"All because we weren't prepared to pay him what the panthers were, we obviously took our junior system for granted and thought they would just keep flowing through to first grade like they did in the smith era."
"If only there was a guy who did his apprenticeship under Brian Smith at Parra who left and took all that know-how to another NRL club which went on to win 4 GFs. Just imagine. "

Is this sorta reliable rumour?
I do prefer having a straightforward service dummy half for our team, but I think Smith can be decent at that.
If we get a favourable contract a la Addo Carr, then I am all for it.
I actually won't mind him. I think getting him and even releasing Lussick (but he can stay) would be great. Especially on a two year deal.
Him and Hands can rotate in game and Smith can cover lock and Hands can cover halves too.
Just remembered he is injured for a half the season. Yeah, na.
So...this means we were naughty?
The longer Parra wait to sign him the less they have to pay, and considering he ain't back from injury till mid season I'll be waiting as long as possible to sign him.
Won't be back until R17. Could be a bs rumour. The only way i can see this happening is if we get him virtually for free for 2025 then sign him for 26.
17? I heard Round 10 the earliest.
It's round 17 at the earliest. Smith said it himself
All good, just going off what i heard from other outlets a few months ago.
I can see it happening if come mid year we are sort of in a rut but close to semis, Ryles looks to him as a spark. By then we would get him for peanuts practically. Nobody will touch Smith til the round he is back anyway, but then Roosters would have paid a majority of his 2025 salary.
Yep ACL and MCL injuries
