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.
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.
"But how long is he willing to give himself? If Smith is still starting by the end of 2027 and he is extended with intent to start in 2028, what will Da Silva do then?I would love to know if Ryles intent is for Da Silva to eventually be the starting…"
"I saw TDS try to pressure the kicker at times last night but not as consistent or forceful as Smith.
I love your analogy of how TDS read his own hype and thinks he can just play and be amazing. Where Smith is the opposite where he has had to grind…"

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?

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.
