Brandon Smith to the Roosters - Maybe

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Gouda one

But if we him miss....edammit!

[Salvatori Grubber]

Ooof!

Any truth to the rumour we are chasing young Ric Otta from the Bega Roosters if we miss out on The Cheese. Comes with a lot of big wraps but I've heard he's a little soft.

[The Skeez]

I fink Twent through his connection is looking to wheel out a young French duo, Cam and Bert. Ripe for the taking

Crack Sniffer's not going to Bondi...

No , apparently his blue vein is a bit on the off side so they have put that idea on ice

[gragra]

If the cheese is off the table, hopefully something good is on the manu......

[Rooster1908]

Cracker of a thread

[King Salvo]

But does Cheese have enough blue vein in him to fit in at the Chooks?

[gragra]

Wats on ? build a Roquefort defence.... Stilton to the next signing......

[gragra]

I think I'm on a roll now...

I'm not sold on Smith as a long term gain on big money. His game is based on power and enthusiasm more than skills. Not a great passer from dummy half, no kicking game, defence average or below for a hooker. Certainly a weapon in attack, but how long will that last ? I was a big Sammy V fan, but he struggled after coming back from injury, I still think there is a lot of upside in him, I just can't see Smith as more than a running backrower, and we have the Butcher boys, Sitili, and Rads. I can't see him being worth more than $500K, but he will probably get more than that from the Dolphins.

The chooks have spoken to his manager a number of times according to a mate who got that from Smith himself .Who knows what's going on now after the white powder fiasco. If we still have a no dickheads policy then we wont be signing him. i reckon it was easts his manager was talking about when he said they haven't got an offer yet from the club they want an offer from. We will see what happens but i reckon they will pass on smith.

Yeah the white powder threw a spanner in the works. Think Nick is willing to let one mistake slide.
