A breath of fresh air

[ChookMaster]

Enough of this Mitchell talk boys. Let’s focus and talk about someone who actually wants to don our proud jersey and be at the club. Our expectations of this young kid are great and we never know we could be looking back at this moment with our club and be so happy, young billy smith turned out to be a miracle. What are your thoughts on him fellow posters? I for one am keen to see him get into pre season and see what his got.

He has got great hair.....which i am sorely lacking

[Old Man Rooster]

The kid definitely has potential but lets be honest Latrell is a big loss.

100%. I’m not saying he isn’t in fact if you check the other thread I’ve been saying that. But instead of talking about Mitchell 24/7 let’s look at the other spectrum and see who will be replacing him - a young kid who has great potential. I’m looking at the situation half full rather then half empty.

[stringaz]

I like the look of him, big, rangy, fast. Still pretty raw I guess but apart from our overall success lately I've enjoyed watching all our players especially the new and younger ones take their game to the next level under our structures. Angus, butcher sitili Collins to name a few.

Billy should be no exception if he replaces latrell.

[Rooster1908]

Yes watched him play this year and he does show amazing promise , no Latrell , yet but may well be in the near future.

Don’t kid yourself. Latrell leaving would be a devastating blow.

The club would need to insist on Billy getting a crew cut. No time for this constant playing with your hair at NRL level.

What do you mean by don’t kid yourself? I’m not saying smith will be better I’m saying it’s a possibility.. and I also never said latrell leaving isn’t a blow? Like I said instead of looking at it half empty I’m looking at it half full.

Latrell has done our jersey proud.

Latrell has done our jersey proud.

Yes he has, but he quite clearly wants to move on.

[Johnny Tobin]

I thought it was going to be about Tetevano.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Coming back from serious injuries, Billy was good....very good and quickly.

And he is only a kid...some more filling out and a proper off season under his belt he looks like a potential topliner.

[Rocky Rhodes]

At this stage, Billy Smith is nothing more than a Brendan Elliot clone. But I'm so excited I'm gonna piss my pants.

If Latrel is gone for 2020, don't be surprised if Brett Morris starts at centre.

[chicka]

Morris never let us down and showed in that GF that he still has plenty to offer. I would have no worries with him at centre.

[Nonester1]

Morris had a blinder in last year's WCC scoring three tries in his first game. I would be happy to see him in the centres and Billy Smith on the wing to ease him into first grade or have Ryan Hall on the wing.
