Hope it isn’t anything serious.

[horrie hastings]

Apparently smith has been taken to hospital due to neck issue

Mention of it in this link

Neck brace, stretcher, ambulance. Fark that doesn’t sound good

[Jacks Fur Coat]

great call mate

So... you disagree with Robbos selections....are you available to Coach?

No it was sarcastic…. There’s quite a few on here who think they can coach better than robbo

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Equal second 2 points off first… The bed wetters
are very disappointed at the moment

Keep it real please, we are not equal second, we are 4th, and 85 points behind 3rd on for and against.
2 of the teams ahead of us haven't had the bye yet
5th, 6th 7th and 8th all have better for and against than us,
and 2 of them haven't had their bye
so if we drop a game to any of them we go back to 9th.

hope he's alright. they say just as a precaution but we/ll be sweating on the xrays

[Inflictor]

Sounds like he has been cleared of anything serious but did he pass his HIA or will he miss next week?

Our club always takes extra precautions so every chance he’ll be out next week.

[QWERTY]

Says it’s just a precaution. Him being available next week would be really beneficial, especially against a vulnerable Cowboys team

[The Marshall]

Is more worried about his wellbeing than next week

The Cheese was outstanding. He has the ability to bring you forward on lounge every time he touches the ball.

I love the attention to detail and salesmanship in his runs.

Just about every time he plays the ball it's as if he runs one way (straight through the front door with a bunch of forwards waiting for him with their cricket bats...etc) and then somehow magically ends up entering through the back door instead. Then when you watch a slow-mo replay, you see a heap of crazy facial gestures going on (including his eyes almost popping out of his head, like some sorta cartoon gesture he's going one way), which must be ridiculously hard to defend against if you're used to picking up on all the tiny little nuances of body language in defence.

He's like the Looney Tunes in Space Jam. Experienced defenders get fooled every time because there's standard runs / trickery and then there's B-Smizzle specific comical shyte that you can't train to play against because it's so unique. He's FAST too! He won't just fool you, he'll be 20m down the field by the time you realise what he's just done to you.

I kinda have this vision of how good this current Roosters team can play when they hit their straps. It excites me! The Cheese has more gears, I know it! I can't wait to see us blow teams off the park.

have not read every post here but wait on the bloke that tackled Smith got him into a head lock slammed into the ground then squeezed on him more and bent his head up ...forget the players name .Shouldn't the NRL check this out and get the bloke? It was definitely intentional .
