I think its time because of Injuries and Thormann is going crap in 1st div anyone agree??

He has a top kicking game and excellent organiser. He may be abit young but...

Yeah, will be very interesting to see what happens.

I see 3 options for Brian Smith

1)
6. Witt
7. Thorman

2)
6. Wagon
7. Witt

3)
6. Witt
7. T.Smith

As much as I hate to admit it, I think Wagon has to stay at 5/8 now. I don't like the idea of having 2 very inexperienced halves playing together. Unfortunately for Thorman I think the fact that the two games he has started at half we got flogged by Saints & Wests will be in the back of Brian Smith's mind when he sits down and picks his team.

I think he will play it safe and name, 6. Wagon & 7. Witt with Thorman as 18th man again. I highly doubt Tim Smith will get the call at this stage.

Wagon has actually played very well at 5/8 over the past 2 weeks, even throwing some great passes :shock: and running well with the ball as opposed to his usual 'crabbing' style.

Took the words right out of my mouth Parraren. Agree 100%.

Stuey won't come back, he's scared you might spit on him. ;-)

The Big Smith needs to grow some balls and show the some faith in the small smith. The small Smith will play for Australia one day.

I totally agree with you mate,I know you rap Tim Smith everyweek and he is a great Talent.

I would love to see him in 1st Grade as well but i just have a feeling we won't be seeing Smith in 1st Grade next week but of course i hope im very wrong!

Im hoping its 6.Witt 7.Smith 13.Wagon next week.

Jack Afa as well is a great forward and so young still if he can promote him to 1st Grade i cant see why he cant with Smith.

I know It may be a little to early for the young fella as he is only 18-19.

I believe this is how it works Age wise for different Position or when is the best time to bring them in:

Fullback: 18-20
Wingers: 18-20
3/4: 18-19
5/8: 19-20
Half back:20-21
Lock: :20-21
2nd Row: 19-21
Front row:19-23
Hooker: 19

I believe we will see Tim Late this year in 1st grade if not definately next year.

I think Tim is 18 as he was the Aust Schoolboys half back last year.

Lyon:
Yeah I have given Tim Smith huge wraps and I hope he comes good now as I have put my reputation on the line saying how good he is and dont want to be left with egg all over my face. I remember people saying how good Steve Witt was but when I went and saw him play in 1st div I was wondering what all the fuss was about as he was only average.

This kid is different.

A forward and a halve is different. Thjeres more pressure and a big difference form p/l to 1st grade.
