"Only for Parra. Everyone else has to score at least from 10 meters out.

"Yeah I know. But to fix alot of things within the game. It would produce a complete rethinking of attacking. It also throws a psychological element into it. I'm behind by one etc. But yeah you need to play everyone twice.

"Gus made the point a number of times with the Islander boys, especially the Fijians that you just have to give them a couple of simple jobs, make your tackles and score tries, they'll pick up the finer details via osmosis as their career progresses.…"

"I don't watch much other footy apart from Thursday night and the eels game. I was under the illusion he was a left side specialist. But I'm happy to welcome him but on a short leash and a clause that allows us to not pay him if he acts like a wanker…"

"Mitch Moses has grown in confidence and his skills are really starting to shine through. I noticed his defence has also really increased and he's not apprehensive about tackling the far bigger players. He's a great reader of the game! I actually rea…"
"Yes, but I had respect for him when he signed with us. Last season tested it, but he has grown a heap as a player in all areas.
He may get a shot at origin next year as Cleary won't and I hope he got in Fafita's ear about how great a club Parra is."

"I agree with you ! He stayed in the game and got us over the line last night. Lets be real though, it was 9s and theres space all over the field.

There is no doubt he is a phenomenon. Averages 64, which is second only to the Don. And the most unusual thing about him is the way he bats, which defies modern techniques.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia for you. He has now scored 6 ashes hundreds in England. No England player has ever scored that many in England.
When you take out the first dozen or so tests when he was actually selected as a bowler his average is in the 80 plus area.
Who is he?
Macaulay Culkin?
LOL
Nice Blog Snakey! No doubt he is very special.
He's definately special. Teams just can't find a way to get him out.
His technique is not in the cricketing books. Neither was Bradman's though.
Watched his whole innings last night/early this morning and his technique and mental fortitude is right outside of the ordinary. Nothing flamboyant about him, just goes on with his business and rarely faiis.
He came into this season having miseed the first 7 months due to suspension and in a few months became the number 1 scoring batsman in the world of test cricket.
FMD, a 7 months handicap given to all test cricketers and he is now starting to blow them all out of the water, and all this after being terribly knocked out in the 2nd test and not playing in the 3rd test.
FMD. Just wow, wow, wow, wowwwwwwwwww.
The guy is a freak, watching him plkay is not like anything you will see in world sport anywhere, he is a different charachter that's for sure but man is he good.
Exactly Snake. I think Smith is the best batsman we've had since Bradman. Bats outside the box. So skilled, yet eccentric and unothodox.
Didn't expect it when I first saw him play. Looked awkward at first.
I must admit I was a huge fan of the Great West Indian top 3. Greenidge, Hayne, and Viv.
Viv Richards is one of my all time favourite batsman. He was the gum-chewing King Of The Jungle. Never even wore a helmet. Oozed confidence, skill and domination.
