Scam Smith and the "spirit of the game"

[Pete Cash]

Remember when he stole that guys mouth guard then later broke his tooth

Remember when you said that Croker kneed cronk and it should be an 8 point try.

Gives him a shove, nothing in the knee though. I can't recall an whole article being produced before about someone giving a player a shove.

The Storm smear campaign is gaining hilarious momentum, I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve.

Was that the time the 2 incidence happened in separate halves and the guy didn't even wear a mouth guard?

You don't read much than do you.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Same old same old.

Qlders and Storm supporters laughing off obvious grub play when it suits them.

Gallen or Ennis do it, it's reprehensible. Smith does it, "you are all reading propoganda" or "nothing in it you are just butthurt/salty/desperate".

The greatest hypocrites on the planet.

As if that was not a deliberate act.

There are some who eat up propoganda here alright. Drink the Smith Kool Aid.

DT sucks balls.

I saw this on Fox outlet. So they are playing us as well? I guess the vision has been doctored to make Smith look bad.

Pfft

I saw it on NRL 360 last night... there were two journos on the panel, Webster and some flog. The flog seemed to take real offence at the incident, but also seems the type to take offence at anything.

Nothing in it... something I expect to see from competitive alpha males on the footy field.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

It's a private matter and he'd like to handle it privately.

 

[Canard]

Surely the outrage should be over the shameful dive that Crocker takes afterwards.

That makes Fafita look tough.

 

[Grapple]

“I don’t like Smith. At all,” said another.

Award winning journalism.

Lol, yes, right on to Cronk's belly

 

[no name]

There wasn't much in it, but it was deliberate and cheap.
Probably just trying to get into Croker's head.

 

[Surely]

Its nothing, the guys a competitor , I'm outraged that people are outraged.

 

[butchmcdick]

Has anyone got a gif of the incident instead of a still frame ?

 

[betcats]

Smith would do anything to win. This is a man who was worried about arguing a penalty with a guy on the ground a few metres away screaming that he cant feel his legs. There is no excuse and after that nothing suprises me. He is a grub of the highest order, he is just smarter than 90 percent of the RL community and plays it beautifully, he is one of the dirtiest players going round.

There's a video on the link I posted:

You'll see a blatant and deliberate knee lift by Smith into the back of Croker's injured knee. His goal-kicking leg at that. He attempts to mask it with a simultaneous shoulder into his back, which is designed to draw attention away from him attacking the injured leg of the opposition captain.

There's a video floating around somewhere.
I think on fox sports news website.

 

[Usain Bolt]

See elbows, knees and forearms being used in tackles all the time not to mention all the wrestling but people wanna blow up about this? Haha

I wouldn't even call it that, it is the sore whine campaign by Crawley. Same kind of crap with Ennis and the clap after we beat them.
The reporter's(Crawley) brother is on the Raiders coaching team, so it is hardly an unbiased report and definitely has an agenda.

Didn't see it but given he has been on it in recent weeks, I would just about put money on it that this flog was Crawley, the writer of said article.

Yeah that's a blatant knee from smith

It was Crawley, spent the whole segment bagging Fifita, Foran, Smith and someone else.
Didn't have one positive comment about anything the whole time and the other 3 just nodded along with him.
