Sandon Smith

[Davo]

Sandon Smith is a massive liability in defence. Some of those missed tackles on Edwards was alarming, he is a massive worry. Yes he’s young and learning, but he maybe dropped after that. Terrible.

Don’t want to be to harsh, he’s a league behind the first grade players.

I can't believe our club is.going to settle on Sandon Smith being one of our first choice halves next year. It's laughable

[kakaruk]

Samson will be ok it’s the forwards that are the problem for us

[milanja]

Nothing exciting about him, but might have worked well with walker, realistically, our tiny halves are killing us in defence.

[King Salvo]

Unfortunately from when Toops dropped that sitter it went down hill from there in the first half - hardly any ball and making only 28 metres each set - errors galore - tackle count up - 24-0 - sure the game was gone but they had a dig in second half.

Have to do it the hard way - regroup for the next game vs winner of Dogs and Sea Eagles

Sandon had an absolute shocker. But you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. First finals game against a rampaging Penrif team. I’m hoping he can brush it and turn in a better performance next week.

His defence was poor tonight but that can be fixed.

I thought he was a little rushed in his playmaking tonight, I really would’ve like Keary to let him call some more shots because when he was playing first receiver I really liked some of his pass selection and his ball playing into the line.

It’s a really tough spot for the kid to be thrown into. I wouldn’t be casting judgement too quickly.

Sandon’s halves partner was equally poor. The difference is Sandon’s just making his way into first grade, the other bloke should have learned something over all of his years in the top grade. I’ve said it all year; we can’t win the comp with Keary in the team.

In fairness many of us were singing Sandon's praises after last weeks win vs souff. Liķe any young half he needs 80-100 FG games under his belt. Up until last season Sammy was still being judged on potential. Now he is considered elite.

I agree. The dropped ball started the tsunami. No team would have stopped Penrith after that.

Both Keary and Sandon are rather small. And slow. And not much between the ears.

Lucky none on here are on the coaching staff - leave it to the paid professionals

Would be a boring forum if everything was just left to the paid professionals and we couldn’t have opinions.

You’ve got to stop questioning people’s level of intelligence.
