Was so excited to see his progression this year even after signing with aus rugby
atm I have seen absolutely nothing to be excited about and I bet aus rugby would be wondering what they were doing
Billy smith in first nrl game back from acl ran 175mtr with 85 post contact, 6 line breaks, 25 tackles and 15 hit ups
sualli ran for 33 and made a coupe of errors
Off this aus rugby should have signed smith instead
good points
- he is physically gifted like Folau
- 6 foot 5. Over 100kg and can jump
for good defence front on and good tackle technique when he hits
Bad points
- doesn’t jump for the ball in aerial contests
- can’t defend in a line - races out and gets beaten on the outside
- no attack - all he does is run hard and straight, he has no step, fend or line running
- no passing game so will never be a fullback in nrl or rugby
- as a aus rugby fan also I am laughing at how bad this investment is for a potential good player, they could have kept 10 or 15 decent rugby schoolboys for that money
i though he was a shoe in for Origen to start the year
he has literally played himself out of it
the biggest disappointment so far this season for sure
robbo has played him on the wrong side to start, I think his only position is right wing where he can carry the ball back
he just does not seem desperate or even talented enough atm
a robbo fire rocket for next week would be good, either play well or be dropped when Tupou comes back or get dropped now and get a few weeks in res
he did it to Walker , so should be able to make the hard calls
