Billy Smith over Suaalli

[kakaruk]

I hope Smith plays in the centres & easers his way in. Ive seen him play less than 5 games but there is something about him that I like, I think hes aggressive. He's a tall big bloke that hopefully can stay fit & show us all what he's got.

Yeah, me too there's something about young billy smith he is flying under the radar imo, scoring in just about every game he has played in the top grade a good defender big, fast a specialist center looking forward to watching him play.

We need to get games into these players, both Smith and Suallii as they are our future.
Its good to see Robbo isn't shy doing this with Walker.
I just dont know if these changes to flanks affect our defence. For example, are we pairing Suallii up with Walker? Teams like the storm would wear that patch of turf out with all the traffic they'd send that way.

I really like him too. Every time I've seen him play he's been fantastic. Just a shame he's unlucky and gets injured.

I think Baker is in front of Fifita.

I also think losing Bmoz, Jmoz, Cordner, Friend, Liu and possibly SST that we will get a pretty good signing or two or three.

SST?? What are hearing and why all of a sudden he is the next player leaving,,only a year ago he was our best forward to everybody on here.

Shame on TR for not trying to burn Suaalli out before he is 20

Is Sualli paying the price for Melbourne's first try last week? He was completely unaware of that kick being on. I would think as a winger his job would be to drop back just behind the line, especially when our fullback was involved in the attacking play that led to the quick 20 metre tap. Just inexperience here and he will learn from it.

In the meantime with Iku playing we have to endure more bombs away tonight. Luckily the Bulldogs are shit and Kyle Flanno's bombs go about as high as Lam's.

Perhaps robbo is just resting him for this week, after all school holidays has ended and school has started so maybe he is back to a week to week basis on playing? But I agree with your point of him dropping back, he was no where to be seen and didn’t really show too much acceleration to get back albeit he was up against the Foxx. Although he is only 17 and is learning.

Suaalli was cut from the 21 wasn't he?

[BUDDY]

Good first game back after so long out.
Looks solid in defence and made some nice hit ups.

Suaali's season may actually be over, if the comp moves to Queensland he'll stay in Sydney to finish the HSC and I can't see him being allowed to travel in and out of Queensland every week.

Good point.

Would it be possible to do it remotely? Not sure if roosters can just leave him behind, don’t have many outside back reserves options other than ikuvalu/smith (whoever doesn’t get the wing spot). Abbey unlikely to travel unless upgraded as he is only on match payments, I assume he works part time. Keighran only other option?

Not exactly easy to just call up extra players at the moment too because of the bubble - if there are more injures so I think we need all on deck

[Bahrain Rooster]

Good to see Smith back. Scored a try which was nice and didn’t look out of place.
