Jeez I hate it when Aussie fans are so cluelessly out of date. Long is 32. He is not 'struggling in SL', he is close to retirement. Besides, Tim Smith is getting found out every week in SL and there seem to be a heap of people on the Parra forum who want to re-sign him.
Umm, why Aussie fans. Its not like we are having a go at him because he is English and playing in the Super League. Its that he is well past his prime and dont think he could or want to come to the NRL and deal with the preasures that are here.
He was linked to Warrington,
thank god we missed that one.
He wanted a two year contract, but stains only offered him one.
Mainly due the fact that he is passed it now.
Even you yourself said.
he will struggle to last one more year let alone two.
I think you will find that Parra fans want Timmy back because it would be a "fairlytale". He was Parras faovourite son for a while there. We also need a half back at the moment and Timmy has played with most of our current side and would fit in well. If he was younger and at his prime, he probably would be fine as I think he was a superb player.
Id also like to question what Brian Noble is doing with Timmy then if he is getting found out every week. He knows about Tim Smiths defencive problems, why isnt he hiding him around the paddock like Parra did or what the Wests Tigers do with Benji Marshall. Or have another player as a defensive minder like Tonnie Carrol was to Darren Lockyer.
yeah i agree with you that tim smiths defence is woeful
but his kicking is pretty good, his passing game is 2nd to none
go youtube and theres a pass from smith to inu and its awesome.
juz on saints who will play halfback there now
do u think orford or finch will get chased as there both off contract??
I think I remember reading that Saints were after Rob Burrow. Orford I think would fit in well at St Helens.
Johnathon Thurston is off contract at the end of next year.
