Since Verrills returned, we have been playing champaign footy. If he continues this form uninjured, where does Brandon play? Was it a panic buy because Verrills plays beautifully, having our attack so potent that we are almost scoring at will? I wouldn’t want to lose him to another club.

It was Knights and Dragons mind you.Originally posted by roosterchook View Post
And we weren't even running around with a proper hooker prior to Verrils return, so of course service out of ruck and line speed will be better.
This is probably a more relevant topic of discussion if we go on a run of 3-4 wins from here.
Smith isn't a panic buy....I like Verills but he is constantly injured, which is a concern. Despite Verrills being a fantastic no.9, Smith is better.
To be honest, i'd rather move on Lam (done), Hutch and Keighran.... then simply put Smith as 13.
Maybe a starting pack of
JWH
Verrills
Collins
Radley
Crichton
Smith
Bench >>>> pick from
Watson
N Butcher
E Butcher
Sitili
Lodge
May

Yet Cheese has stated he wants to be a starting 9 hence why he has come to us. If he was to play 13 he’d probably be staying at the storm.Originally posted by Steakface View Post

Do players have it in their contracts that they must play a certain position?Originally posted by ChookMaster View Post
If Robbo names him at lock, hooker or fullback does he have a get out clause to say nope I'm out of here.
Players may have a preferred position but are they happy to play anywhere when offered the big money and preform well in a different position.Comment

Would we really care if he did a backflip ?Comment

As I said in the previous thread on this, let's start a rumour he wants to back flip in us.Comment

We would if Verrills goes down again.Originally posted by DP1990 View Post

Let's not be too quick to forget just how good a footy player Brandon Smith is.
He's an absolutely lethal ball runner as well as a tone setter with his defence.
Defences will have nightmares trying to defend the dual threat of Smith's scoots from DH in attack and our array of stars in the backline.Comment

Verrills either going to be playing for the Bears next year or get an early release and end up at the Dolphins or Super LeagueComment

He has a lethal mouth too that could cost him a very lengthy suspension. I welcome his ball playing skills but I hope he leaves his verbal attacks of refs and fans behind him.“Soon will the present day order be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead”- (Baha’u’llah)Comment

If Verrills plays a game in the Super League, or for the Bears (barring it being due to a return from injury) in the next three years, I will eat my hat.Originally posted by DP1990 View PostComment

Apparently the Dragons have also spoken to Verrill’s management about a possible move.
If Smith was any way interested in playing lock forward and Verrill’s keeps up his current good form then next year can’t come quick enough!
Unfortunately I don’t think Smith is coming to play lock forward, he wants the number 9!Comment

gee some of you are silly. Verrills is decent, nothing more. He puts his body on the line which i respect but he isn't a game changing hooker nor player. Smith is. He was the best hooker in the league last year, an absolute workhorse whos passing will give both our playmakers time and our forwards momentum into the line. His speed out of ruck is strong. Just because he hasn't been playing that great this year (predominantly at lock and sometimes even prop, while 10-15 kg heavier than he should be because of this position switch) doesn't mean he wont be a game changer. How about we wait for him to start playing a position he wants to play under Robbo before we start talking about him back flipping.Comment
