Sandon Smith

[SunnyCoastChook]

He looked alright out there. Does he deserve a spot?

[RoosterFanNZ]

great passing in dummy half, if we had 2 halves on the field I would like him to be turnips back up.

but would chuck him in the halves just to kick allen out the team

[Andrew Walker]

Too hard to judge with such limited time on the field Let’s see how he goes if he gets more game time and fatigue gets it’s chance to set in

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Defintely... in the halves and starting though.

[Rooster90]

Decent #14 option as he can cover a few positions

Wouldn't mind seeing him in the #7 while Walker is out though

[zac]

did everything asked of him. got to be an option for starting half next week

[bondi paul]

The two newbies likely not selected next week. It’s how Robbo operates.

[BraveTheWorld]

Looked fairly classy, with limited minutes.
To be honest, I love Manu to bits but he has looked abysmal at 5/8. I'd like Keary and Smith/Hutch in the halves until Walker comes back, I think.

[mightyrooster]

I’m over the Joey experiment at 6. Put him back in the centres Robbo. Sammy back at 7 or Sandon until he’s fit.

[DP1990]

Not enough game time for me to make a call but I did like how he went into dummy-half switched and passed down the short side which set up Suaalii's try.


Definitely a good back up for Turpin and maybe we can see more of him over the next few rounds.

[ARD]

Gotta see his defence but the way we rolled forward with him at 9 and the variety in good ball territory, was excellent. I’m not a Turpin fan, but if young Sandon can do that over long periods he’s a keeper

[nayfo]

I was sitting behind his family and friends support crew. What a moment for the young lad.

[Bondicigar]

Bullet like passing from dh was impressive

[The Marshall]

Yes as a minimum he takes the utility spot

[NorfolkStreetKid]

He went very well, call him the extra gear we need to replace the handbrake. Definitely deserves another run at 14, but I would start him at 7 next week..... get Manu back in the centres, he just looks too slow at 5/8.
