frankly i don't care what your feelings of tim's playing ability is - you can think he sucks if you like ..... but from where i'm sitting you are making yourself look like a goose simply by obsessively posting about it

Ron, answer this question...What was Tim's best game in 2006, and on the scale of 1-10 how did you rate him, and where does that place him in relation to the other half backs in the NRL.
The bloke is ORDINARY at best...VERY ORDINARY in my opinion.
With regards to selectors, yes, I probably should have followed the family line as my older brother was an Australian selector who gave many of the top line internationals their first taste on international scene......

Round 26 vs Brisbane at Parra to secure the minor premiership.

I suggest you watch this game as he took the game by the scruff of the neck once Hindy went off and completely dominated the opposition

He was absolutely brillant 9.5 out of ten.

His kickign and passing was absolutely flawless.

Last game 2005 V NQ Cowboys..balanced out his effort against Broncos. In 2006 he displayed consistency...by that I mean he was consistently ordinary. Had the worst stats in every facet of the game of any player in the NRL..Check them out if you don't believe me.
His running game, well we don't know if it is flawless because he doesn't have one. Every coach in the NRL...even Shaun McRae.... has worked out how top shut him down..and he didn't have the ability to overcome it.
But he really is a Koala Bear...a member of Elliot Ness's 'UNTOUCHABLES'
.....Rugby League's answer to Mark Phillipousis...The have plenty in common...they are both known as Pooo :lol:...(Just kidding..just for a stir)

Looks like this debate is going to go on and on? Why doesn't everyone agree to disagree and by the end of 2007 we will see if Tim Smith really is the halfback the Eels have been craving or maybe Parra Pete is right and the kid can't live up to our expectations. All I will say is that Tim Smith does have some wonderful assets to his game but the jury is still out. I was impressed with his 1st half against Newcastle until he broke his collarbone but for him to perform well he needs the whole team playing well and for the Eels to be palying well they need Tim Smith to play well. Anyway if has been interesting reading cause God knows it is so boring over the off season. Bring on 2007 asap.

No, he played 22 other games which he was consistently brillant hence Rookie of the Year.

Really, show me these stats? and you do realise the team as a whole was playing poor prior to his injury, so maybe lets look at the stats of the other players aswell leading up to that game.

And just prior to his injury he did hit some good form, a MOM performance down in Canberra, and completely outclassed A Johns in the first half of the match. Ordinary players don't dominate the best player in the world.

His running game, well we don't know if it is flawless because he doesn't have one.

How relevant was his runing game in 2005?

Every coach in the NRL...even Shaun McRae.... has worked out how top shut him down..and he didn't have the ability to overcome it.

Umm no. If you watched most of the games, Tims problem was that he didn't have the support he had outside him in 2005. Our support play and positional play in attacking opportunities was pathetic. Not to mention during our poor form we had other contributing factors affect us, like our coach leaving us. If you don't think the coach leaving didn't have an impact on all the players then im Wally from Fairstar computers.
