Brandon Smith

[DP1990]

Let's see how his smart ass "look at me, I'm a loose canon" act and speech on the podcast sits with Robbo, Politis and other senior club members !



They won't tolerate him and his nonsense for much longer. The club ain't about this ... it's one thing to be a "larrikin" but another totally different thing to be an absolute f*ckwit. If you were playing with "good form, living up to your price tag" then maybe, sure ... go ahead and talk shit ... but when you've had only a handful of games this season with limited minutes and you're considered as the "marquee signing" yet a throwaway player like Jake Turpin comes in on pocket change ? and plays twice as better than you !? ... then the only person who should "go and get f*cked" is YOU (Brandon) !



F*ck off back to Melbourne (that's if they want you) or find yourself a new home !

I'm frightened of what it might tell me. The puking does sound awful.

Depends where your at mentally or so I've been told. I have no intention of dabbling per se and I've been through the wringer lately so anything like that would not be a good idea.

In some circles they reckon it can help people's trauma. Who knows?

Not taking sides, but alcohol is a depressant and over indulging can lead to some pretty heavy nihilism.

Walking my doggo in the sun is a great tonic atm.

The problem with Brandon is his changed attitude. When he was starting with the Roosters he said the right thing by the Roosters, "I can't wait to win a premiership with the Roosters". Now after a loss he shows no disappointment and says he can have a laugh with his Melbourne mates because with the Roosters it's just a job. He obviously is with us for the money, doesn't really care whether we win or lose. Give me a committed player who bleeds for the club any day. Without a change of attitude not worth keeping!

I remember reading in the past Robbo mention when we look at new recruits to come to the Club we don’t just look at talent on the field,being a good man with good qualities off the field is just as important..

Not sure why they decided to bend the rules with this guy,he acts like an utter goose off the field..

As soon as you start telling fans to f*** off or kiss my arse you know what sort of bloke you are dealing with.

it’s a sign of addiction of some sorts and the irreverent dismissal is covering up some gaping hole somewhere.
Looks like the chooks have got their hands full with Brandon.
Best of luck fixing him

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Dud signing. Piss him off.

I think there have been far worse people and far bigger d-ckheads wearing RWB, even in recent years. I don't think Smith is toxic or is a di-khead per say. He is just very different, and I admit I don't like the media presence he has. He has a big mouth and therefore he is going to come under more criticism when he isn't playing well.

I don't think he told the fans to get farked, I think it was to the journos writing the article. The only issue I had is that it seems like he is treating the Chooks like an employer (which I guess he has a right to) and doesn't seem to have the same connection as he does when he played for Melbourne.

Roosters worst ever signing for big money.

Did we ever see Cooper Cronk joking around on the field with his former team mates after a game?

Maybe i'm old school but that whole socialising at the end of games annoys me.
A handshake, a smile, a man hug perhaps (if they're an old team mate or acquaintance) but hanging around for 5-10 minutes having a yak????
Some may say, that was then, this is now but to me it's all for show and sooo cheesy. The tough nuts of yesteryear would either acknowledge or side eye their opponents and get off the field.

Very CHEESY in this case. But yes I totally agree with you. It annoyed me no end especially after such a loss. I saw Momo cheerily chatting with the Storm players as well.

If they actually did this then the club would never have signed Matt Lodge, Blake Ferguson and Zane Tetevano

Hence why I asked why they bend the rules for certain players

Exactly lol it’s all a facade. Pure dribble from Robbo.. I knew it was pure dribble once we signed Paul Carter thinking we could change the guy and what was the end story of that? He got one of our beloved players sacked pretty much and he farked off into the sunset himself

[The Brain]

Thought he was gonna be buy of the year..what a dud
