Jeremy Smith

[LOYAL DRAGON]

smith did not impress me tonight

 

[SET2JT]

he was their best in a beaten pack. tried hard all game

 

[God-King Dean]

I usually have a meh attitude towards him, but he can hold his head up after that effort.

Falou showed he's more than just an athlete this afternoon... he's got heart.

Thought Smith was great tonight, each hit-up he had manly had trouble taking him down. He'll be a very dangerous player and go great under Bennett i think.

 

[Gaba]

I thought smith was the storms best forward and player

Would definitely have got mom for player in a losing side. Looking forward to seeing him next year.

Wasn't Smith hurt in the first twenty minutes?

 

[rushndude]

Yeah, but he came back on in the 2nd half.

 

[SAINTS!!!]

One of the best signings since we have merged as 1. He adds alot of grunt into the forward pack and having him, creagh and young in the back row . Under Uncle Bennett - . Having his side play very poorly in the GF aswell is a very good motavatior into and throughout next season

 

[LOYAL DRAGON]

i just thought he would have done more, will be better of under bennett

You can't really ask for much more than what he did. He was their best forward out there and one of their best players yesterday.

 

[Phillips]

Great buy along with Boyd (although ex storm players tend to go down hill once they leave the Melb).

Matt Orford and Steven Bell went alright...

 

[Drain the Dragon]

Smith will be very good for us if he produces his best every week. Just not sure how much we will miss Ryles' go forward next year though. Smith will partially fill this role but we will need Poore, Hunt and Weyman to step up next year also. Someone needs to assume the leadership role in the forwards.

BTW Mickey Paea didn't look overly impressive in what he showed for Newtown on Sunday either....

 

[dragonfan1]

Poore is likely to be the leader of the forwards. He has improved a lot and is defeinitely an underrated player with a lot of potential. The selectors finally recognised him when he was selected in the 46 man squad for australia.

 

[LOYAL DRAGON]

poore will be amazing next year

 

[Jasdragon]

Matt Orford and Steven Bell went alright...

Orford took ages to find his feet at Manly and Bell has gone down hill big time.

 

[watatank]

I really don't think Orford is that much better than he was than when he arrived. Even if he has improved it hasn't really been that significant. Bell hasn't changed a bit really IMO.

 

[Godz Illa]

Gold Coast's Nathan Friend and Josh Graham both improved immensely after leaving the Storm. Glen Turner with Canberra as well.

 

[watatank]

James Aubusson has been going ok as well.

 

[RedVDave]

Call me crazy but I think Folau will be just fine when he leaves the Storm.
