"I feel that TDS is looking to establish himself as a genuine FG Hooker and will look to take opportunities elsewhere eventully. Our key is to make sure we have another one or two coming through the system to replace TDS on a positive basis. Letting…"
"I think 80 mins is pushing the limits for a young hooker. Riley can do it, but probaby shouldn't do it too often, especially the way he plays. He's got that Gutho energy that won't stop. I get the feeling he'd happily run himself into the ground if…"
"Yep and we gave them Talagi, I think we are in front by a country mile!"
"Keep both, eventually Ryles will figure out a way to get both on the field as the game is transitioning to faster smaller lineups. It's always good having 2 9s who can start at a pinch "
"Maika was a Riff project that we pinched."
"Another Riff raid coming good.
Firstly Hopgood then Hands and now Smith hell wasn't Sivo in amongst the Riff setup at some point long May we keep raiding the farkers

"Your a good man TolE, any one that knows as much about history as you do, has to have a bit of mongrel in him. That said I think you need to get a bit older before we can call you an "old bastard" having a bit of mongrel in you is stage one, its a…"
"He is a mongrel. Appreciate his work rate. He always keeps the pressure on the last tackle kickers. "
"Good points Michael. Starling made sense as he is an attacking Hooker, yet the link to Jayden Brailey made no sense as he is what Smith is in terms of style."
"How long will we be patient and does he need the game time to develop?"
"Yeah but can have a 2nd string Hooker who is content being in Cup who can come onto the bench to relieve Ryley."
"Same here, MW. Both give us more depth, firepower, and starting options.
Ryley is ahead, but TDS has wheels you can't coach, and an untapped floor and ceiling worth developing and being patient with."

"That decision is ultimately why Ryles gets paid the big bucks. You also have to manage workload. Sure, we could ask Ryley to play 80 every week, but that would likely lead to his impact dropping and becoming less valuable to us."
"I think the two hooker rotation is the way to go, a lot of teams are doing it now. With the speed of the game increasing, the workload, and workmate, of Smith needs to be reduced enough for him to be at his best by seasons end, don't want him burnt…"
In our well-justified praise of Ryley Smith, there is a big thing being missed: his ability to read the game and footy IQ.
He is a couple of plays ahead and anticipating every move both in defence, primarily at present, but also in setting up the…

"Would Da Silva want to start at some point? Who is to say Smith wont look at PNG who will use him 80mins everyweek? That is the concern if there is one."
