Saying a prayer for Billy Smith

[Mickie Lane]

This kid is really, really freaking good. Big, strong, footwork, smooth runner, aggressive defender. For a centre he looks like a complete prospect.

And it's so easy to forget that he's only played a few FG games!

So I'll be saying a prayer to the football Gods that he has good fortune with injuries going forward because both he and the Roosters deserve the chance to see his career blossom.

Im with ya Tommy. If he stays fit he could end up a top top class centre.
I wouldnt be switching him between centre & wing, I would put all my energys into him playing at centre & seeing if we can get him to the Latrell level. He is as tall as Latrell & Turbo & he is 99kg at 21 another off season he could play at 103kg & dominate.

Its no good saying prayers to a god who isn't there

Did you know that "God" has never ever answered the prayers of an amputee?

religion is nothing more than man made bullshit.

My religion is red ,white and blue.......the God being The Rooster

I thought you went for the Dragons. Isnt the word Snodgrass a mix of the letters spelling Dragons?

[Mickie Lane]

should be interestng to see what he plays in the next 2 years. with sualii and manu at centre his long term position would be wing. but hell be competing with vuate, who personally seems like a better long term prospect.

At this stage Smith is way ahead of Suaalii for a centre spot. I think Suaalii will have foot & lower leg injuries till he finishes growing & then builds muscle. If Smith stays fit I think he will be the outside back people talk about at the Chooks not Suaalii.

Well said Tommy. No wonder the Club rated him as the Latrell replacement and stuck with him despite missing basically 2 seasons in a row. I rate what he is doing and will also be saying a pray for your kin.

We’re not paying sualii however much he’s getting to play in the wing. Sualii and karawelavu have a much brighter future personally. Don’t get me wrong u can tell smith is a quality player, but I think the pen is overhyping him a little

The fact that sualii is a first grader at 17 shows that this kid has potential to be great. Smith does not have more potential than that

[Bondicigar]

He is the perfect centre big and aggressive, with skill.
I hope he doesn't want to be another fullback

He said on Roosters Radio the other week that he’s always been a Centre and grew up idolising Gasnier and Cooper.

Amen.
Can he play left and right centre, or only one of those?

...he used to give me nightmares leading up to every ANZAC Day game...and my nightmares became reality most of the time.

I still can't believe they missed that foot on the line in the 2010 GF lol.

The one where Gasnier scored from the kick.

Bit dramatic with letting us know you have no beliefs.

Good for you!
