Dinner at Trent Robinson’s house could decide future of Brandon Smith

[Mickie Lane]

Fark I hope the Roosters get him.
The thing I believe the Chooks have in their favour is being able to offer Smith a very good chance of winning a comp at another club. The Dolphins wont win a comp for at least 4 years I dont reckon.

Get the shovel out and the Banana leaves Robbo

Trent better get the bag man in. Warm up a plate.

Hopefully he's dark webbing it Bansai. $175 per g pure as the driven snow uncut flake from os. As opposed to the domestic cut garbage dished up here for $400. Sadly Brandon's probably getting the latter and doesn't know any better...

In terms of signing him, I wouldn't go near anyone shopping around via the media for the highest bidder more than a year before their current deal runs out.

His Maori background, hangi.
Dig a pit = shovel
Cook in it = banana leaves covering it

I heard Crichton's dad will provide the meat.

Is that dinner on tonight? I wonder what course they're up to?


But seriously it's all about Robbo getting to know the man behind his football.

so what happens with Connor Watson?

[ConGa]

So far no big name willing to join the Dolphins, I doubt The Cheese would go there as their sole savior.

Verrills/ Watson/Marshke/Lussick fighting for a bench spot as Smith if he does sign for 2023 onward's will want the starting dummy half role.

I would say Dolphins would be favourites then Titans and then Chooks 3rd. It Doesn't look like he will re-sign with the Storm or sign with the Cowboys

How will living in Sydney work for him as his parents are in Brisbane and there are a lot of distractions in Sydney not withstanding the Social Media/General Media attention which he would not face down in Melbourne. Only die hard Storm fans would know who he was if they seen him anywhere in Melbourne.

I wouldn't sign him myself as the Chooks do have depth in this role - Verrills/Watson then Marschke/Lussick as well - Develop internally

After some bangers and mash , bring out the fine china

[Noosa Rooster]

I would prefer that we don't sign him - not because he's not a good footballer but because I don't think he fits with our current culture. Rads is the team's larrikin and I don't think we need another. Plus as others have mentioned, too many distractions in Sydney for his personality type.

Interesting about his business ambitions though and if he was serious, the Roosters would probably offer the best environment to succeed with those. I just think he needs to pull his head in a bit and Sydney is not the place to encourage that.

1. They're all from New Zulland and he's been living independently (on a respectable salary) for ages. Can't say I have a burning desire to live in the same city as my mum.

2.Yes he'd definitely be better known in Sydney... but same with Brisbane.

3. He's leaving Melbourne because they've chosen Golden Boy Grant as their long-term #9. There is no #9 jersey for him at Melbourne, so staying would mean a pay cut + either a #14 jersey or a position in the back row. Neither are great options for a Dally M hooker (who IMO is much better than Harry Grant - it'd shyte me if I were Smith and they did that to me based on speculation about a kid's possible future talent).
